Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 is banned in the big cities of China!

It was a surprise to find out that the largest Mercedes-Benz SUV is prohibited from circulation in big cities of China. But here's the mystery explained.
As Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 weighs over 3.7 tons and has a length of approximately 6 meters (5.85) and a height of over two meters (2.3m), it automatically falls into the Truck category. So, you could ask, what if it's a truck.
Here is why - there is a law prohibiting truck access in the great cities of China such as Shanghai or Beijing. And here is a follow-up question, how did the Germans transport this 6x6 Brabus version to the showroom?
We can guess the answer. Most likely the vehicle was transported in a container or a special platform that can accommodate such a giant. Kind of a shame, considering that this model is absolutely unique and cannot be seen anywhere, especially on public roads.
Brabus 6x6, which is based on a G63 AMG 6x6, comes equipped with a 5.5-liter V8, forced to the limit of 700 HP. Acceleration to the first hundred per hour takes only 7.4 seconds, which is quite impressive for a vehicle of this size.
Oh yes, let's not forget its starting price of 1.6 million dollars in China...
