First unveiled 25 years ago, since when 182,000 units have been sold, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has made a name for itself all over the world. At the 2005 Geneva Motor Show the Stuttgart-based auto maker presented the most powerful version of this robust cross-country vehicle yet: the G 55 AMG. The new arrival's supercharged V8 engine brews up 476 hp of power and puts maximum torque of 516 lb-ft on tap as low down as 2650 rpm. The G 55 AMG thus outstrips the output of the predecessor model, with its naturally aspirated V8 power unit, by 34 percent and boasts an increase in torque of 32 percent. With its ample reserves of power, the G 55 AMG treats its passengers to unrivalled authority, exclusiveness and perform-ance both on and off the road.
There is certainly no doubting the performance credentials of the G 55 AMG: with acceleration of 0 to 50 mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h it can leave some sports cars standing in its tyre tracks.
