Facelifted G-Class To Receive Powerful AMG Engines
Content provided by BenzInsider.com
There’ll be more to love of the venerable G-Class, as Mercedes has confirmed that a facelifted version of this rugged off-roader is getting even more powerful engines when it’s introduced this year. The G55 AMG will see its supercharged V8 ditched in favor of the 5.5-liter twin turbo V8 found in other AMG vehicles. What this means is that new G55 AMG owners will have 525 horsepower at their disposal. Coupled with its proven four-wheel drive system, there is little terrain this monster can’t conquer. But far from making gas stations your best friends, this engine’s advanced technologies will see it eating up more miles, not gasoline.
But for those who want even more, there is the also the
limited-edition V12 G65 AMG. Further down the road, a hybrid G-Class is
also expected to be released. Decades since its introduction, Mercedes’
improvements to the G-Class continue to make it an evergreen platform.
