It's the Verde. I sat in it at the show as I'm still waiting for mine. I've got platinum black on my C63T with designo sand leather and love it. Plan on getting it on my next car also.

I thought it was a nice colour, but had a cola-esque tinge to it under halogens which I didn't like too much.
I'm waiting for a Graphite G55 due in a few months.

designio graphite also a very nice color, I am a bit nervous to order that green without seeing it in person might get graphite as well. good luck

g55 amg 2011
Platinum black

hi, the colour is designo Platinum Black, I had it om my G320 cdi 2009 and it is a very nice colour. Not to be mistaken with Designo Mocha Black! That one looks like cola. I now have one of the few G55AMG in Magno Platin. Very cool car and in the shows it did realy well. I'm now selling it to order the G63 AMG, yes the G63 AMG coming 2012! Because AMG is building this 5.5 engine all by itself it is very nice and you can upgrade it from the standard 525hp to 570 hp with the sports packedge! Since the can also paint in their own AMG Studio I will order in grey matt finish and complete with, yes, B&O sound system!

Can you post a pic of your car in Magno? I'd love to see it. I have a Black Opal Metallic G55 which is pretty unique. Kind of a green, blue, black metallic. Seen: https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...d-edition.html

Curious. Did you physically see the G55 in question at the 2010 Sydney Motorshow?

Zandzoort, where is your G55 located, how much you want for it, how many miles? Any pictures?

Thanks

Like I said, it's not platinum black. I have a platinum black car and saw the car in question on two occasions including the motor show.

P.s. Why no info on this so called G63??

You may want to direct your post to member zandvoort as he seems to feel its Platium Black not me. Also, I have no information on the so called G63.

2013 G 63 AMG
A G63 for 2012 has been rumored for some time. Originally people though it would use the 6.2L NA V8, but clearly the intention was to wait for the TT 5.5L engine being rolled out this model year. This may be the last upgrade to the AMG G-Class before the end of production of the current W463 which Mercedes has said would be in 2015. Whether there will be a W464 in 2016 or production of the 463 will be extended again is not clear.

Yes it does. You should also check out the Irridium silver (basically MB's standard silver color). Looks great. Very military looking.
