Random Shot: Merc G55 AMG

[Won]

Merc's Geländewagens (cross country vehicles) are a rare sight in Malaysia. Designed rough and tough, the G-class started life as a light military vehicle, until civilian-spec was offered in 1979. There are three generation of G-Wagens, and the one in the pictures above is the most recent 463-model G55 AMG.

The 5.5-liter supercharged V8 churns out 500hp, and a frankly silly 700Nm of torque. It only takes 4.8secs to dispatch the 0-100km/h sprint; and having seen it accelerate away with my own eyes, I couldn't help but giggle. Just look at it! It doesn't make any sense how a behemoth like this can move so fast!

More impressively is that this G55 isn't the most powerful G-wagen available. There is actually a more bonkers GV12S Bi-turbo Brabus tune; the original 5.5 engine is bored to 6.3-litres and the result is 700hp and an insane 1320Nm of torque!

Power, I can understand. Power in a behemoth like that..? I don't quite get it...

 

[khairiaz]

power in a behemoth like that is normal. there are other SUVs that are bigger than the G55 but still a behemoth (eventhough it is not producing as much as 500bhp).

the one in the photo is a 2008 model though.

I heard the current RRs aren't as good as they were.
The '04~'07 were said to be the best era.
