2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, New car

Years ago, Mercedes-Benz and its historical in-house tuner, AMG, committed to expand the lineup of high-performance vehicles to all those that bore the three pointed star. Nowhere is this commitment more evident than in the G55 AMG sports-utility vehicle. We have access to New & Used G55 and other MB trucks. Initially designed for rugged off road use, the basis for the G55 AMG is the four wheel drive, body-on-frame, dual solid-axle G-Class four door utility vehicle. A far cry, performance-wise, from the military vehicle from which it was derived, the 2008 G55 features a supercharged version of AMG's 5.5 liter V8 that pumps out 493 horsepower at a peak of 6,100 RPM. That motor is hooked up to a five-speed automatic transmission, rather than the seven-speed used in so many other AMG vehicles because of the five-speed's significant strength. An impressive 516 lb-ft. of torque over the fairly broad range of 2,800 to 4,500 RPM helps the G55 accelerate from 0-60 in a scant 5.4 seconds according to Mercedes-Benz. That 5.4 seconds doesn't seem especially fast by contemporary standards until you learn that the G55 tips the scales at 5,635 lb.
