Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 (Red & Black) (06RF-017)

06RN-018 is a model of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463 1st gen, namely a G 63 AMG 6x6, painted in black and red. The Era Car Model seems to be inspired by a Brabus modified vehicle.

The G-Class W463, 1st generation was in production from 1990 to 2018, when it was substituted by the W463, 2nd generation (some media erroneously refer to this model as the W464). The model started as G-Wagen but in 1994 the name was changed to G-Class. The vehicle is manufactured by Magna Steyr in Austria, and sold by Mercedes-Benz. The model features 3 electrically controlled locking differentials and its power output ranges from 93hp to 621hp. It was offered in a variety of body styles including 2 and 4 door cabriolets, and a 6 wheel pick up truck. Curiously there is a different G-Class also being sold (W461). While the W463 is catered to the consumers who seek more creature comforts and better driving dynamics, the W461 is built specifically for military, public authorities, and non-governmental organisations. Both the W463 and the W461, are evolutions of the older W460, which entered the market in 1979.

The G 63 AMG 6x6 was produced from 2013 to 2015 to mark the 30th anniversary of the model production. It had 6x6 portal axles, all of them receiving torque from the engine through 5 electronically controlled locking differentials. The body was stretched to accommodate the extra set of wheels, as well as the new pick-up truck style. It had the same engine of the 4 wheel G 63 AMG, producing the same 536hp. The G 63 AMG 6x6 also had a built in compressor allowing it to deflate or inflate the tires to adapt to different environments. Despite being very expensive, Mercedes-Benz, unexpectedly, sold more than 100 units.

A source of inspiration for the model could be a G 63 AMG 6x6 modified by Brabus, which features a red interior and the outside painted in black with red carbon contrast pieces. However it has much less red than the Era Car model, and the carbon fiber red is not as vibrant as the Era Car model color. Another source of inspiration could be the render presented by Carlex Design. The rendered vehicle also has a red interior, and the exterior includes many more red contrasting parts than the Brabus vehicle, making it closer to the Era Car model.

The Era Car model most striking feature is its paint job. The outside is painted in black with a lot of contrasting red pieces, such as: the front air intakes mesh, the headlights background, the hood, the side mirrors, the A-pillars, the roof, the side sills, the pick-up truck bed liner, the window borders, and a red stripe on the sides. The interior is also very red. Although the wheels feature some red, that was the standard design for all G 63 AMG 6x6. Other features include the chrome piping on the bed and bumpers, the light bar on the roof, such as inserted headlights and tail lights, detailed engine bay, tinted windows, painted exhaust on the underside, an authentic rims.

Compared to 06RN-018 the car is pretty much the same, bar the colors. The exterior is matte green while the interior is black and brown.
