the amg 55 has not only succeeded at being a great off-road luxurious vehicle, but perfectly attaining the goal of describing what it stands for. It sure is my dream car!
Wonderful car. All Mercedeses are beautiful pieces of engineering brilliance. The Gelandewagen is easily one of the top ten best cars ever made. Not to mention the G-Klasse is one of the only true offroaders still in production.
Guys that mumble alot about the price and the quality.... Have you ever driven this car? have you ever tried to take it for a ride in such conditions? And if you did, have you then tried to do the same thing with Landcruiser... Well, I did... The difference is huge... and yeah, the price is high, but still, it is worth every f...ing penny. and even more. :) I pay my respect to MB for its G-class.
idk why but i love this car. im not a big fan of MB's but this is awesome. and noone i know agrees...lol i mean i love audi s5's and A8..and then this. lol its weird i guess.
Well, the new W204 C-Class is actually very well built. I think they learned the lesson now, and the new models are properly built, electronic devices included. But only time will show if this is right...
A G class is NOT a SUV. The G stands for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle). It was orginally built for military usage by German/Austrian engineers. It has a tilt angle of 37-54%. - Born offroader, I don't know which G class you mean, but the one I know is perfekt for rough terrain. If you want a better tilt cross-country vehicle, drive an Unimog U5000.
You might laugh, but the Gelandewagen was also build, cause the Shah of Persia was interested on a new 4x4 for the military. Mercedes in Cooperation with Puch started to develope this 4x4. This big deal was abruptly stopped, as the Shah fled from Persia, and Ayatollah Khomeini was in command in Iran.
people serious about off-road capability will not opt for a G class benz don't get me wrong this is an incredible vehicle....one of my favourites for its SUV class...but the truth is the truth, as an off roader there are better choices available on the market. Land-Rover's Hummer h1 Jeep wrangler Sahara ...just to name a few. although they may not look as good they will all outperform the g class on a trail.
@defeatdeath well,keep in mind this car is hand build,but if you can afford to buy one of these I don't think your really gonna care its worth the money or not,if any people are going to buy it because its so expensive,just so they can feel exclusive.
@jakemiller5000 Said they guy who doesn't own either. I have a G55, and I have a couple Land Cruisers. I have the Mercedes for luxury with some (and I do mean SOME) off-road capability. But I have the TLC's for serious 4x4ing. I don't have the Lexus version, I have the real Land Cruisers, but it should be noted that an FJ Cruiser (which I also own) with a URD supercharger and some other engine mods makes 500hp/600+ torque and does 0-62 in 5.0s flat... that stomps the V8 AMG with a TRD V6.
dude i agree with you a 10000% , why is this car soo expensive? whats soo amazing about it that makes it worth the cost ? , im sure that the toyota FJ can kick its ass back to germany..seriously it doesnt even look that amazing...benz should reconsider it's price
@cry92sis No it's not! You can cover up the exhausts all you want, as long as the air induction system isn't occluded, (and water doesn't make it past the seals into your spark plugs) then you're fine. You obviously don't do any off-roading or you'd know this. And sorry if I don't believe that you own one at age 25.
The only problem I have with this car is the tail lamps, I wish they could make the back open like a Range Rover tail gate, but thats not as bad. Other than that, this car is the shit.
@jaksa95milos It already has an air intake system, why would he add one? And adding new off-road tires only does so much. The design of the G doesn't allow for much articulation/suspension travel. You'd have to add a huge lift kit and severely modify the truck just to put on 35"s. My FJ80 could literally drive over a G-Wagon's front end like it was nothing. Show me a G-Class doing Pritchett Canyon or Hell's Revenge in Moab, the Rubicon, Baja, or drive to the North Pole - TLC's do these easily.
@jaksa95milos Like I said, I own the G55 and an older version which I've got modded out with 4x4 gear, it just can't come close to what a Land Cruiser can do. A stock G-Wagon can do class 2 trails, maybe some light class 3, anything more will damage the vehicle and you won't make it through. A stock TLC can do class 4 trails, and class 5 (the hardest) if you don't mind a few bumps and bruises on your vehicle. I own a Unimog and 2 Pinzgauers, my TLC's are more capable than them, G-Wagon - no way.
@jaksa95milos Finishing first doesn't mean anything, especially since it wasn't a race. Land Cruisers are far better 4x4's, this is fact, it's not up for debate. TLC's can handle bigger tires, they have a more secure stance (wheels lay outside the body instead of under it), they can ascend steeper grades, get better mileage, have better crawl ratios, etc, etc, etc. That's great that he's a 4x4 instructor, but Europe isn't exactly 4x4 Mecca. A G-Wagon wouldn't last in Moab...
i dunno man, it revs up to about 6200 RPM and despite its terrible aerodynamic shape, it should still be faster than 210. I mean its got 469hp! it can do better!
the amg 55 has not only succeeded at being a great off-road luxurious vehicle, but perfectly attaining the goal of describing what it stands for. It sure is my dream car!
I was the driver of that G55 prototype for the making of the video - 10 days of bliss!
1:13 I´m still amazed of this scene. I adore the G55
The best SUV in the world! Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG 500HP 2009! The king of the road and off-road!!!
Wonderful car. All Mercedeses are beautiful pieces of engineering brilliance. The Gelandewagen is easily one of the top ten best cars ever made. Not to mention the G-Klasse is one of the only true offroaders still in production.
Lord in Heaven...I love this car...I always have and always will!
this car is just amazing. they are rare and so exotic looking. the song makes this vid real relaxing and chill. i hope i can own one one day
This is my favorite car! Perfect in every situation.
Wow awesome! I watched this video some years ago and now i found it again...really an amazing car, love it!
This car will allways be in date!!
Not G 55 but G 500. I love this car. It is amazing.
Guys that mumble alot about the price and the quality.... Have you ever driven this car? have you ever tried to take it for a ride in such conditions?

i love this car :inlove:
....my dream....
Dream Car!!!
best SUV ever in my opinion.
Not the most evironmentally friendly, but the coolest car in the world.
I like this car! ..crying...
This is CAR !!! G-Power..
The commercial hypnotizes you to buy one
i'm in love with it
I hardly ever see these. I like the way it looks but at the same time I don't. I can't explain it.
no comment just Mercedes-Benz AMG
These are the meaning of Cool!
G in black = KING
this is the king
Saw one of these today, a silver one. So hawt!
worlds coolest and fastest mailtruck!!
idk why but i love this car. im not a big fan of MB's but this is awesome. and noone i know agrees...lol
i mean i love audi s5's and A8..and then this. lol its weird i guess.
Well, the new W204 C-Class is actually very well built. I think they learned the lesson now, and the new models are properly built, electronic devices included. But only time will show if this is right...
Don't compare them plz!!!!!!!!!!!G is the best idea in car industry ever!
loving it
@ellisfreedman yeah because the torque on the supercharged 5.5 liter (516lb-ft) fits the truck better than a high-revving normally aspirated V8
Remarkable
I don't like that model but its ♥AmG♥ Thats nice! :)
Actually, Mercedes developed it with their help, and they produce it. Very well, I have to say!
Love the G wagon, but at $232,700 here in Australia, I don't think anyone will be taking it off-road.
@MBML320
Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Great car.
Best car i've ever had....
A G class is NOT a SUV.

for me does this car have the best look for a SUV
i loved it
ma dream suv.... 4 evr
OMG I LOVE THIS CAR!!!XD
people serious about off-road capability will not opt for a G class benz
don't get me wrong this is an incredible vehicle....one of my favourites for its SUV class...but the truth is the truth, as an off roader there are better choices available on the market.
Land-Rover's
Hummer h1
Jeep wrangler Sahara
...just to name a few.
although they may not look as good they will all outperform the g class on a trail.
Song name is I with you by CJ Kiara
The most beautiful SUV ever made. Where is this video from, the song is so nice :D Does anyone know where can I find this song please?
@defeatdeath well,keep in mind this car is hand build,but if you can afford to buy one of these I don't think your really gonna care its worth the money or not,if any people are going to buy it because its so expensive,just so they can feel exclusive.
can you tell me who sings the soundtrack from the commercial? pretty please
Awesome
Cj Kiara - I with you
@ellisfreedman For a vehicle like the G-Wagen, low-end torque is very desirable, and the 5.5 Kompressor has plenty of it.
its pretty nice for a damn expensive suv i would neva buy it lol i never could buy it
@jakemiller5000 Said they guy who doesn't own either.
I have a G55, and I have a couple Land Cruisers. I have the Mercedes for luxury with some (and I do mean SOME) off-road capability. But I have the TLC's for serious 4x4ing. I don't have the Lexus version, I have the real Land Cruisers, but it should be noted that an FJ Cruiser (which I also own) with a URD supercharger and some other engine mods makes 500hp/600+ torque and does 0-62 in 5.0s flat... that stomps the V8 AMG with a TRD V6.
I have no idea...
Greetings!
GREAT
Cfmatias what is the name of the song you have on the video? Thanks.
dude i agree with you a 10000% , why is this car soo expensive? whats soo amazing about it that makes it worth the cost ? , im sure that the toyota FJ can kick its ass back to germany..seriously it doesnt even look that amazing...benz should reconsider it's price
najlepszy samochód!!
one of the sheriffs closing the road for the filming in Utah clocked me at 135mph
супер! немецкий автопром рулит!
best jeep !
@MrCharming123
That's why he says "every situation" :P
Does anyone know why they didn't drop the new 6.2 liter NA engine into the G55s when the redesigned them for 2010?
best truck made.
WHere did you get that video from mate?
@cry92sis No it's not! You can cover up the exhausts all you want, as long as the air induction system isn't occluded, (and water doesn't make it past the seals into your spark plugs) then you're fine. You obviously don't do any off-roading or you'd know this.

What music play in this video?
Love is....
but what would happen if u moddifed the g55 the same way
@barlowmatthew and Renee Zellweger too!
das auto!!!
what's he name of this song?
What is the name of the song?
@jaksa95milos It already has an air intake system, why would he add one? And adding new off-road tires only does so much. The design of the G doesn't allow for much articulation/suspension travel.

That's Orgasmic! Love G-Wagon!
G63 is coming out soon :) and AMG is going to make it until at least 2015
what's is the song name?
Schiller- ruhe
AMG? More like OMG
it looks way better with the chrome grill
@jaksa95milos Like I said, I own the G55 and an older version which I've got modded out with 4x4 gear, it just can't come close to what a Land Cruiser can do.

@hbplaya gotta admit, you make a good point. x)
how come the top speed is only 210?
It's a shame they're retiring this beast. The ML and GL just don't have the poise nor powerful demeanor that this thing does.
der einzige mercedes den ich wirklich mag
i will be gettig this car wen its leagle for me to drive
next year
oh fuck yeah!

can you buy me that car?
so yh
UK price £76,000!
the Hummer H2 is a Chevy tahoe frame with a Hummer-like shell... its not even close to the G-wagen
cant wait to see bmw's answer to this... should be interesting. german power!
i dunno man, it revs up to about 6200 RPM and despite its terrible aerodynamic shape, it should still be faster than 210. I mean its got 469hp! it can do better!
holy christ
210 ~= 130 mph. I don't think I want to go that fast in a truck.
