There’s a new way to make your Mercedes-AMG G63 G-Class stand out even more. Why not add tank tracks? New German company Delta 4×4 is now building a set of tracks for the G63 that promises to give you maximum traction wherever you travel.
While the natural habitat of the G63, or G-Wagon, seems to be the boulevards of Beverly Hills, it was designed to cope with the great outdoors. Why not give it a try with these tank prints?
Yes, for around $75,000 you can add tank tracks to your G-Wagon
Snowmobiles and tankers have known for years that wide tracks are best for traversing hard snow and mud. Tires, after all, tend to sink in and get you stuck. So, Delta 4×4, a 40-year-old German company, decided to build a retrofit kit for Mercedes’ most expensive SUV, the AMG G63. This SUV has the power of its turbocharged V8 to spin these tricky tracks.
According to Delta, the tracks cost €50,000, or $53,000, on top of the $180,000 for the G63. Track installation could cost another $20,000. But what better way to make your AMG stand out?
What’s so special about G-wagons?
If we could ask Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian or other celebrities why they love the G-Wagon SUV, we would. The G-Wagon has a presence like no other SUV. They are tall, blocky in shape and owned by the rich and famous. But they are also incredibly capable.
The G-Wagon has permanent four-wheel drive, a large and powerful V8, and can be equipped with the latest technology and the highest quality leather and materials. They’re also built on a strong frame that gives them incredible off-road dexterity and strength. A G-Wagon just isn’t like anything else on the road.
Other G-Wagon conversions focus on speed or truck conversions
When your $180,000 Mercedes G-Class SUV just isn’t enough, Brabus is there to upgrade it. When you really need something to set yourself apart, there’s the Brabus XLP, which strips the utility rear end and swaps it for a truck bed. Then there’s the all-new Brabus P 900 Rocket Edition One of 10 that adds every bit of carbon fiber, quilted leather and more to the XLP pickup to make it even faster.
Mercedes will also sell you a 6×6 version, which is a six-wheel-drive version of the G-Wagon. It shares the same engine and interior, except it’s longer and much more expensive. The 6×6 version sells in Europe for around $511,000. There is also an improved 4×4 version.
Still, since Mercedes has produced the G-Wagon since the late 1970s with basically no changes, the aftermarket has responded with various odd or practical mods for this hyper-popular 4×4. There are convertible kits, kits to make old versions look newer, aero kits, and of course lift kits and more for off-roaders.
