I think its wonderful, If I was wealthy enough to afford it i'd have it.

Would put smaller, less blingy wheels on tho

[Flying Penguin]

Only seems expensive till you see the rubber mat (or is that whale foreskin, Onassis- style?) in pic 18, so reasonably priced for a car with the aerodynamic properties of a Swiss bank safe. But then they were seemingly aware of latter, played safe by sensibly sizing engine output to overcome that inconvenience

[ArsE92]

Even if I had £80m in the bank I wouldn't buy it.

[Globs]

It looks crap.
A clear case of more money than sense.

i love the g wagen. so wrong yet so so right. my neighbour has a brabus v8 one in interlagos blue. questionable grille and wheels but the sound when he fires it up forgives everything.

[TimJMS]

I'll take the AMG 6 x 6 G Wagen and pocket the change thanks.

[the_lone_wolf]

Incredible... Aesthetically it doesn't have a single redeeming feature to me

I'm sure the engine is nothing short of biblical, but it would surely be more in another Mercedes model...

Quality, if entirely tasteless, interior trim though...

As above, even with all the money in the world I'd spend it elsewhere...

[poshboy]

it has the same dials, indicator stalk, lights switch etc as a 2k c class......

That is extremely hypothetical; sitting here, I would agree. But in the very unlikely event of having the amount you mention readily available- and that is the clientele the car is supposed to be sold to-, I may wish to re- consider. You know, getting to Everest base camp in style....

Are parts of the engine bay rusting?

[chrisw666]

Smaller wheels and I'll take it.

A pointless thing that nobody needs, but I'm happy that a £400,000 V12 Jeep exists.

[michael243]

I have saw one of these, No idea they was so expensive

[Redbaron1973]

The new 2013 interior is much nicer than that older one, but that really must be amusing to drive.

[shoehorn]

You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
No matter how much power it has,it`s still got the size,weight and aerodynamics of a church,all based on a forty year old design with handling to match.
And claiming that the spoiler(with tacky led`s)has addressed some of the drag issues is laughable.

A car for those with more money than sense,then again it has bell-end written all over it.
Damn ugly and the modifications come no where near justifying that ridiculous price,which is £420K too much.

[Dominicc01]

Not in a million.

Off-road it will be utterly useless. On-road it will be little better. You just look like a very successful drug dealer.

A standard one with a tractor engine would be a far more appealing prospect for me.

+several million.

[chrisw666]

It's a sad day when PH starts to hate V12 Jeeps with a pair of turbos and no attempt at aerodynamics.

Just got 30 of these carros ordered from my carcel suite, buey! And if no me gustan, I'll get them dissolved in acido!

Isn't the bodywork all handbuilt still in Brooklands?

I'd have the non brabus G65 - V12 loveliness without the brash wheels.
