Mercedes-Benz has released the first image of the G500 4×4².

This model is basically just a four-wheel version of the insane G-Class 6×6 AMG.

Ground clearance has been increased by a few millimetres and it sits on chunky 22-inch alloys with chunky off-road tyres.

It’s powered by a V8 engine with 310kW on tap, which isn’t as much as you get in the 6×6 AMG, but probably still enough to have some proper fun.

The G500 4×4² will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show early next month. We’ll report back with the full details once we have them.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
