Definitively! - The G-class is as aerodynamic as an open toilet seat.

"aerodynamics are for those who can't build engines"

Just did a search and was convinced. It's crazy

Actually I think a toilet seat would do better, it's more rounded and drop shaped than the G wagen.

I read somewhere that G wagen at high speeds from within the cabin sounds like a jet taking off. Due to all of the wind resistance it has to cut through. That would be the only SUV I would by If I ever bought an SUV.

The top speed could be higher with better aerodynamics. I think the 0-100 kph is more of a mass versus power issue. Gotta get a Kompressor.
