Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, Review, Price, Engine, Specifications

Welocome to ymku.blogspot.com - Typical Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a car without further ado. For off-road terrain must be able to devour the extreme, the point. But this time, they make it much faster. Here he is, cars that do not exist to brass tacks. V8 engine, 5.5-liter supercharged as his name plastered on, power "rhino" that reaches 500 hp, and torque of 700 Nm.

Forget aerodynamics, because the creator wanted to maintain its legendary legacy with such forms. This form is so captured the hearts of many. Ranging from ordinary citizens, a social worker, to the military, so Mercedes-Benz feels the need to preserve it, such as the Land Rover Defender. Yes, the car you see on this page is a Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, a Mercedes-Benz symbol that everything must be preserved. And that includes the shape and off-road capability. But for this one we did not know what was in the minds of the Mercedes-Benz engineers, so they spawned its AMG versions.

The shape is still messing about so our photographer confusion when I saw the first time. "This is new? What's the difference? "That's remarks were out first ma-ma times. Well, let's forget the innocence of the photographer, and let's see. Shape remains the same with minimal changes in body box since 30s years ago.
The only thing that invites attention is the tip dual exhaust comes out on the left and right side of the body, not in the back. In addition, AMG 19-inch alloy wheels come with a strong impression. The most obvious change is in the front grille with three transverse rods. Then the headlights using HID projector models, as well as the rear lights are dominated by the color red, which is still placed on the rear bumper.

In addition, the mirrors now equipped with turn signal and there were also a sunroof to give the impression of luxury. Still present is the spare tire hanging on the back door, the buzzer that seems unchanged since 30 years ago, and turn signal lights are placed on the muzzle of the car, and the rear doors are still open to the side.

The interior is typical G-Class continues to be felt with a thin dashboard. But the luxury of starting all over washed cabin of leather-clad bucket seats, rear bench narrow, also made of leather, with additional leather wood steering wheel, dashboard-quality, feature complete entertainment, dual zone air conditioning, feature COMAND � with voice control, as well as cruise control. Designo program through, you can order your personalized interior accents.

Emblazoned on the dashboard are three dedicated buttons to adjust the differential lock. As mentioned earlier, although the style of town, but the car is ready plunged into offroad terrain. When the machine is turned on, sounding growl typical AMG V8 engine, although not bark like the E63 AMG or C63 AMG. But, just like the quiet hum that seems to keep the mystery. Yes, we were wrong. Without the need to enter the gear, stepped on the gas pedal, and listen to the cries of your exhaust at the rear side. After that listen to cries of people swore in surprise.

G55 running time. Once again, the uniqueness of a Gelandewagen really feels though drenched luxury. High seating position (although the seat can be height adjustable), the suspension hard as any G-Class. And the field of view is unimpeded really makes this car convincing. It is quite disturbing is the position of the brake pedal a bit away from the accelerator pedal.

With 500 hp and 700 Nm, the car is whipped up with 'exhilaration'. According to Mercedes-Benz, enfolded acceleration 0-100 in 5.5 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 210 kph. Fortunately maximum speed is limited. We can not imagine that the G55 was speeding up to 250 kph, for example.

Steering feels responsive, and communicative enough information on what is done by the front wheels, but accuracy was lacking. High body seemed to be swayed, but apparently not. Wide tires and suspension are in-tune by AMG able to make the car stable like a modern SUV. Despite braking hard (again, typical G-Class) but very convincing because the disc brake mounted on the front and rear. We are sure, many other riders who were deceived by his appearance, and thought this is just the G-Class with the usual accessories. But forget it. This car feels pleasure controlling others.
