The most expensive G-Wagon ever sold at auction is the final Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, which fetched €1.2 million, about $1.41 million, at a Bonhams sale in Belgium in October 2017. As of November 2026, no other G-Class has beaten that result, though two six-wheeled G 63 6×6 trucks have each sold for $1.21 million. This countdown covers nine G-Wagons: five real auction results and four of the priciest models you can still order, ranked from #9 up to #1.
The G-Class started life in 1979 as a boxy military-style off-roader. Today it is the rolling status symbol of the rich, and a handful of special versions trade at prices usually reserved for Ferraris. We ranked only cars with a documented price: a hammer result, a recorded sale or a published list price.

| Rank | Item | Price (USD) | Sale date | Sold at |
|---|---|---|---|---|

9. 2026 Mercedes-AMG G 63: $196,850 to about $263,000
Every list of expensive G-Wagons needs a baseline, and this is it. The AMG G 63 is the most expensive G-Class that Mercedes builds as a regular production model. For 2026, the base sticker in the United States sits at $196,850, and that buys a hand-assembled twin-turbo V8 with mild-hybrid assist, three locking differentials and the same slab-sided body that has barely changed in four decades.
Few buyers stop at the base price. Dealer window stickers with the Night package, performance upgrades, carbon trim and Manufaktur paint run from about $229,000 to more than $260,000. Many dealers also add markups because demand still outruns supply in some markets.
How we valued it: published 2026 base MSRP plus the highest optioned window stickers we found on new dealer stock.
8. Brabus 900 Rocket Edition: about $655,000
Brabus, the tuning house in Bottrop, Germany, has built its reputation on turning the G 63 into something closer to a supercar. The latest 900 Rocket Edition takes the current G 63, bores the V8 out to 4.5 liters and pushes it to 900 horsepower. It wears a carbon wide-body kit, Rocket badging and an interior that Brabus trims to order.
Production is capped at a small run, reported at around 30 cars. The starting price is €569,900 before tax, roughly three times the factory G 63. The earlier 2021 version, limited to 25 cars, listed at €480,059 for export.
How we valued it: Brabus’s published starting price for the current car, converted at 2026 exchange rates; this is a list price, not a resale result.
7. 2018 Maybach Landaulet at RM Sotheby’s: about $700,000
The newest auction result on the list. In September 2026, a 2018 G 650 Landaulet with about 200 kilometers on the clock crossed the block at RM Sotheby’s sale of the Willy Michiels Collection in Belgium and sold for €612,500, about $700,000, inside its estimate.
That price tells you two things. First, the Landaulet still trades above the €630,000 it cost new in 2017. Second, buyers are getting pickier: a similar car failed to sell in Dubai in late 2024 against a $650,000 to $750,000 estimate. Near-zero mileage now separates the cars that sell from the ones that do not.
How we valued it: the auction house’s own results page, converted to dollars at 2026 exchange rates.
6. 2015 G 63 6×6 at RM Sotheby’s: $748,750
The six-wheeled G began as a military vehicle for the Australian army, then became a civilian toy that Mercedes built in tiny numbers from 2013 to 2015. It has six driven wheels, portal axles, tire inflation controls and a twin-turbo V8. It is about 5.9 meters long and looks like nothing else on the road.
This example was close to new. It had covered fewer than 225 kilometers from its first and only owner when RM Sotheby’s sold it at its Abu Dhabi auction in November 2019 for $748,750.
How we valued it: the auction house’s own results page, price including buyer’s premium.
5. Brabus P 900 Rocket Edition: about $820,000
Mercedes never built a G 63 pickup, so Brabus did. The P 900 Rocket Edition cuts the rear of the body into an open bed, adds the same 900-horsepower V8 and lifts the price to €711,718 before tax. Only 10 are planned worldwide.
It is the most expensive four-wheeled G-Wagon pickup you can buy new, and it costs roughly four times a factory G 63. The extreme rarity is the selling point: owners of the six-wheeled 6×6 have shown that limited G-Class oddities tend to hold their value.
How we valued it: Brabus’s published export price, before German VAT, converted at 2026 exchange rates.
4. Brabus 900 Rocket Edition Cabrio: about $1 million
Brabus’s most expensive G-Wagon is the convertible Rocket. The roof is gone, a folding soft top replaces it and the 900-horsepower V8 stays. With German VAT included, the price passes €1 million. Before tax, published figures range from about €857,000 to €890,740 depending on specification.
That makes it the priciest new G-Class you can order from any official tuner, and the only one that costs as much as the best auction results on this list. It also explains the logic behind the Maybach Landaulet: rich buyers will pay a large premium for a G-Wagon that lets them stand up in the open air.
How we valued it: Brabus’s published pricing, which differs slightly by specification; we use the pre-tax figure and convert at 2026 rates.
3. 2014 Brabus 6×6: $1.21 million
Take a 6×6 and hand it to Brabus, and the price climbs. This 2014 truck had its V8 tuned from 536 to 700 horsepower and 708 lb-ft of torque, plus upgraded audio and a sunroof. It had been offered online with a $1.35 million reserve and failed to sell.
It then went to Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction in January 2022 at no reserve and sold for $1.21 million. That is the highest price we found for a tuned G-Wagon.
How we valued it: reported auction result from two independent car news pages; the sale was at no reserve.
2. 2014 Mercedes-Benz 6×6: $1.21 million
The highest price on record for a stock 6×6. This example had only 965 miles on the odometer when it crossed the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale sale in January 2019, where it sold for $1.21 million, the second-highest price of the whole auction. Three years later, the Brabus truck at #3 matched it to the dollar, so we rank the untouched factory truck higher.
The 6×6 reportedly cost around half a million dollars new, so a near-unused car at well over twice that price shows how fast collectors decided this was a future classic. Reports put civilian production at only around 100 trucks, which keeps low-mileage examples in other markets scarce.
How we valued it: the auction house’s listing and published sale results, price including buyer’s premium.
1. The last Maybach Landaulet: about $1.41 million
The most expensive G-Wagon ever sold is a car that Mercedes built for 99 customers. The 2017 Landaulet combined the 6×6’s portal axles with a V12, a chauffeur cabin and a rear roof that folds open at the press of a button. Rear passengers sit in reclining seats taken from the Maybach S-Class, behind a glass partition.
All the cars sold out quickly at €630,000 each. The very last one was kept back for charity and sold at a Bonhams auction in Knokke-Zoute, Belgium, in October 2017, where it fetched €1.2 million, nearly double its sticker price. The proceeds went to the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.
How we valued it: the reported hammer result from two independent pages, converted at 2017 exchange rates; the auction house waived its fees for the charity sale.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
- September 2026: a 2018 Landaulet with about 200 km sold at RM Sotheby’s in Belgium for €612,500, about $700,000, inside its estimate.
- 2026 model year: the factory AMG G 63 base price rose to $196,850 in the United States, with loaded dealer stickers above $260,000.
- 2026: Brabus launched a new 900 Rocket Edition on the current G 63 at €569,900 before tax.
- No G-Wagon beat the 2017 Landaulet record during 2025 or 2026 that we could verify.
What drives these prices
- Portal axles are the price multiplier. The three most expensive G-Wagons sold at auction all ride on the 6×6 or Landaulet hardware. Mercedes built only about 200 of these combined, and no regular model can copy them.
- Mileage matters more than age. The cars that set records had 965 miles, under 225 km or about 200 km. A Landaulet with 2,338 km failed to sell. Buyers pay for a car that has never been used.
- Tuning adds value only at the extreme. Ordinary aftermarket G-Wagons lose money fast. Brabus cars with numbered runs and 900 horsepower are the exception, because the tuner limits supply the same way Mercedes did with the 6×6.
- Charity lifts the ceiling. The record car was sold for a foundation. Charity lots tend to bring higher bids because the buyer gets the car and the good story.
