2012 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG

Our Teamspeed spies snap a few photos of the face-lifted G55 virtually uncamouflaged during testing today. With its classic boxy styling and lofty price tag, it’s about time the Mercedes G55 AMG freshens up a bit. Luckily for loyal enthusiasts like we are here on the Team, not much appears changed besides a new front fascia and new wheels.

We managed to get a stealth-like walk around – even got a quick peek inside – but our quick look only turned up changes to the grille and front fascia. The 3-bar grille on the current model will be replaced with a single bar grille, and although the front bumper wasn’t complete on this prototype, it appears there will be moderate updates there as well. Considering the AMG engineers were doing some serious testing, we wouldn’t be surprised if there were some tweaks to the (current) 500-hp engine.
