I think it's a joke or a poor excuse. I dont think it will be able to make one sharp crest in Liwa "all show no go"

I don't think so, considering the size for sure it is not a monster of agility, but in the right hands can do a lot more than you can imagine.
You have power and torque in abundance, if you put a good driver, the game is done

You must be joking, don't underestimate the power of MB in desert. Even with 4matic GL class, with city low profile un-deflated tyres, you can do better than any other deflated car. It's not show, in European countries, we call it technology.

All that weight added to that long a wheelbase, Chief this particular MB is a capable hardcore offroad platform?

the G63 AMG 6x6 gets a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 from AMG with 536bhp. Torque is a 560lb ft or if you prefer 760nm, 0-100 kmh in less than six seconds, 37" tyres, do you need more? ......and the price will not affect the off road performance, as mentionned by Capri this is HIGH-TECH, not peanuts!
