There’s something about the AMG version of Mercedes-Benz’s timeless G-Class that makes tuners go haywire. This time, it’s Mercedes-Benz tuning specialist, Vath, that has presented a fully tricked-out G55 AMG.
In stock form, the über G-Class is powered by a 5.5-liter supercharged V8 churning out a completely respectable 500HP and 700Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. After Vath gets its way with the V8 engine, output is lifted to 680HP and 800Nm (590 lb-ft) allowing the G55 AMG to reach a top speed of 265km/h or 165mph.
The German tuner has also fiddled around with the suspension adding new shock absorbers and lowering the 4×4’s ride height by 35mm.
A new sports braking system with 390 mm discs and 22-inch alloy wheels shod in 295/35R22 Yokohama ADV ST tires round off the performance upgrades.
On the outside, Vath modified the G55 AMGH’s looks by adding a hood scoop, a new front bumper with larger air-intakes, LED daylight lamps and Xenon units, a roof spoiler and a new pair of exhaust pipes under the rocker panels.
The vehicle’s interior has been decked-out with leather, alcantara and carbon fiber applications along with a new sports steering wheel and revised instrument gauges.
