Revised Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Wagons Spotted

Our trusty Teamspeed spies, braving the cold temps in Northern Sweden this morning, have spotted two face-lifted Mercedes AMG version of the G-Wagon We suspect that these test mules are the G55 and G65 AMG. While the G55 (which will receive a minor face-lift) is familiar to most of us, the G65 will be a limited edition featuring a monstrous, petrol thirsty V12 . Rumors are the G65 will be a limited series of only 200 units at a price of €250.000.

We are not 100 percent sure what’s hiding under the hood of the revised G55 AMG, but from what we’ve heard it will receive the new Mercedes-Benz 5.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8, that will produce roughly 525HP and 700Nm. The limited run G65 AMG is speculated to receive the 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 with 612HP and 1,000Nm of peak torque that is found currently in the S65 AMG. Don’t expect good fuel economy stats from either of these!

Inside tweaks we spotted were a new instrument cluster, steering wheel design, and a sat-nav screen on top of the dash as seen on the new B-Class.

Its debut could be scheduled for Detroit in January 2012, (we doubt this) or at the Geneva Car Show in March.
