Love the write-up. That is the beauty of the G wagon, you either like it or you don't. Having driven a few G AMGs, I absolutely LOVE them. They are very quirky, I love the bank-vault feel when you close the doors. They don't provide the luxury of say, a range rover, but that is why I love them. They are unique, the torque/sound of that engine is amazing, and the way you feel driving them is incredible. I like them for the same reason I like my series 2 disco, they are a unique driving experience, and the boxy/edginess is so unconventional compared with modern styling. The color spectacular (and holy cow those are HUGE photos; my computer had an aneurysm loading them).

 

You've hit the nail on the head, bank vault feel when you close the door.

 

Such a badass car, congrats again!

So how's the driving experience when it comes to outright speed? Supposedly it's the fastest AMG to 30 MPH or there about.

 

Oh and stunning pics!

 

Its quiet fast, I want 70-100 more horsepowers. Maybe in Spring or Summer Kleemann K1 (ecu upgrade,filters and pulley) +50 hp. It fast from 0-120kmh but it gets slower due to the aerodynamics.

I've raced a Bentley FS from 0-160( TS member MAK) I was 3/4 of a car ahead till 160kmh. I also raced a Camaro SS from 0-160kmh I was ahead by 2 car lengths.

 

That's nuts

Do you know whether the AMG has a chassis different (strengthened?) from the regular G's?

 

It is the same chassis W463, but I will ask my tech tomorrow (taking in the SLK55 for service) about the G55 tech questions.
