It looks like Mercedes is dusting off its portal axles for a second generation of the wild G550 4x4 Squared.
originally developed for military use and offered in civilian guise for a limited time.
Our spy shots and video show a current-generation G550 with the same fender flares and portal axles as the previous G550 4x4 Squared. There's also a roof rack with a new front section that's camouflaged. In the case of the previous G550 4x4 Squared, the ride height was over 17 inches and it looks like the same will be true for the new generation. The previous G550 4x4 Squared also came with permanent four-wheel drive, a reduction transfer case, three differential locks, and of course the portal axles. The latter is what contributed to the raised height: unlike conventional axles, portal axles don't have the wheels mounted at the axle but lower via individual portal transmissions.
The current G550 sports a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 with 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, while the G63 features the same engine but with output dialed up to 577 hp and 627 lb-ft. In both cases a 9-speed automatic is standard.You'd best start saving if you're interested in parking a new G550 4x4 Squared on your driveway. The last one cost a steep $225,925 and we suspect any new one will cost even more.
