- This G-Class is the most powerful and expensive model out there. There are a couple of reason why this model is so recognizable: first the shape of this SUV has hardly changed in decades, and second this has become the de facto mode of transportation for the famous. But a little history first; in 1972 the Shaw of Iran asked Mercedes to build a 4x4 vehicle. The G-Model was meant to be a no frills off-road vehicle. Over the next several years the G-Class became more of a status symbol with the amenities to match.
Under the hood is a hand-built 6.0 liter bi-turbo V-12 engine that makes 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft. of torque. The transmission is a 7-speed automatic dubbed the AMG Speed Shift transmission. Inside the interior is a very premium set-up with quilted leather seating with body-color matched stitching. The analog gauges feature carbon fiber trim.

Definitely an icon. If $$$ was no object, would have one for sure
It's a 4.0L V8 in the G550 or 5.5L V8 in the G63 AMG. I have an 09 G550 and I love they aren't complicated. They're very reliable and the fact that they don't have an air suspension makes the suspension very reliable as well.
You do a good job with these videos keep it up 👍👍
Wating for 2019
The fact that you don’t understand why this truck doesn’t have air suspension is mind boggling.
sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet! ❤❤❤❤

I like the G wagon, and was thinking of buying. But too bad I like my coffee and a car worth 220k and has no proper cup holders. Issa No from me dog..
G Sting Dingaling I’m pretty sure that cup holder is holding you back from buying a g class...100%positive
I eoukd like to see them change the taillights to LED
Jorge Ramirez they did it on the new 2019
i fucking love this car and the colour is brilliant
V12
I love v12 engine by Mercedes amg
Looks like sport car performance tires on that thing. Needs some proper all terrains or mud terrains if it's going to do anything off road regardless of lockers, but then no one is going to wheel a quarter of a million dollar rig heck I get nervous of damaging my 17 Power Wagon off road and although not $220K it's still very expensive.
yes right,but is is unique and amazing like no other.and a mercedes you now?
Whats the point if a v12 when u can just modify a g63 and get the same power if not more and save $100k
Technical German Engineering.makes it possible..................................
you can also modify the G65 for more power also dumbass. Don't EVER think the G65 can't be tuned because of your own insecurities.
This reviewer is so hot
Originally these iconic vehicles are developed by the Austrian Steyr-Puch, the same company that develops Pinzgauers and also the Steyr-Aug Bullpup Assault Rifles. The Steyr-Daimler-Puch G, is the real proper functional Gelande-Wagen. And then there is the Peugeot P4, which has Square headlights and Peugeot engines
The only proper Gelande-Wagens are the G280 V6 CDI and the G300 V6 CDI, those are the only sensible engines for this vehicle, every other variant is just pointless and expensive. The V8 and V12 engine would make perfect sense only in the Guard-Series Mercedes-Benzes, where these are Armoured, because then there's a real purpose to it.
AMGs are just expensive show pieces, they have no real purpose other than draining away someone's surplus wealth.
Currently I am looking forward to buying a Land Rover Defender or a G300 CDI as my work vehicle. The one that got most of my interest is a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300GD, in bone-stock form, for €6,200.
Good points, you know your G Wagons! I agree on the sensible engines part, I went with a used G550 and the basic 5.5L v8, good power but not overboard like the turbo'd AMGs. I will take mine offroad, in the process of slightly lifting it with new ORC springs and shocks as well. I prefer these over the Land/Range Rover, even though I'm British, there's just something about the G that's the "cool" factor. Kinda like comparing a Gold Wing to a Harley cruiser, the Honda is an all-around better bike, but the Harley has the cool factor and appeal.
@@limeyhooligan2536 v8 5.0 ‘02. Plenty of power but not really a highway car anyway. From what I’ve Read people have issues with the bi turbos leaking on the g63. Better to just stick with stock v8.
Did you find a stock one. Looks like prices coming back down soon.
Looks like a tank and handles like one too.
Look at how "tanky" it is once it crashes. Roof collapses and body crumbles, it is not a safe vehicle compared to modern alternatives.
There is a new model coming next year, same looks MUCH improved reliability and safety.
owners don't seat at the rear, so let hitch hikers worry about rear leg room
Guda Lawrence since your spending that much money it would be appropriate to use peasants but at the same time you would be stupid rich and wouldn’t waste your time with the😂😂
where am at, I've hardly seen more than 2 persons in any Gwagon. most case it's just the owner driving.
Air suspension on a car that massive, and they heavy? LOL It would be early 2000's ABC all over again....
so your saying it rides like a Ram 3500 and runs like a tuned cummins diesel, which gets 24 mpg btw. and costs a whole lot less .
OK,lets make a race.............
800 hp, 650 ft#'s torque, hmmm and I know how the G wagon handles, like a truck. a recent owner of the AMG lost on I-70 just recently. hand tuned? look up Industrial Injection out of Salt Lake City and reconsider. Longer, heavier, faster, and much more potent in flat out acceleration. G-wagon better in tight circumstances offroad and that's about all, used to own one. Can't tell you top speed, speedometer pegs out before top end reached.
2019 should get 800 lb weight loss, 8 speed transmission, inline 6 engine which will make it much faster, better handling and 20+ mpg. Far superior.
For when you want to drive something that screams: “Eff Off You Filthy Peasants!”
Thats German Engineering.
Why is it so expensive? There is no reason.
The brand strategy which makes a price range of Range Rover and Bentley agree commercially. Mercedes is extorting customer's money wastefully.
you are so handsome ❤
G-Wagons are out of style for the famous. They all, including the people you named, drive Range Rovers now.
......but why love all the people that car,hmmmm?
The V8 is way better. The exhaust sound just kills it.
Sorry Mb for ppl who goes to grocery store once week, not reliable shit for uber lyft use, only toyota can reach 300k miles no major fix . I had used r350 gl 350 , gl 450 for uber , limo , all was bullshit .all my friends who buy mb for uber limo they regret themselves now sorry this guy on video never drive mb for commercial use put 100k miles in very short period i mean 1-2 years then different story to be told . This is just fact
low range with a 1000nm 4x4 poor transmission
a 20k Mazda has a better interior
Omg.buy it and dream fool.
I'd rather have the 350 diesel model of that rig thank you..
I'll take a Toyota Land Cruiser over this any day and save myself over 100k
And get a reliable all terrain vehicle! These are notorious for all sorts of problems and are a thief magnet!
So are the Toyotas favored by thieves, both Land Cruiser and Four Runners, they steal them and ship them out to central and South America where they are very popular and desirable.
I don't know where you live, but I don't think anyone is gonna steel your LandCruiser in LA :D I could be wrong.
So Fla, the gateway to stolen cars sailing south of the border. They put them in shipping containers and off they go!
Makes sense for South America to be the market for these, given how the living standard is lower, and roads demand SUVs. I just never figured a Land Cruiser to be "desirable".
Just get a g63 it's better than the g65
If I had that money I would buy a Tesla model X or Acura NSX
you can have both sir
Bi turbo doesn't mean twin turbo it doesn't work like that
In this case, it does. The Mercedes-AMG BiTurbo puts two turbochargers within the V of the cylinder banks.
basically it's just an overpriced jeep
Ben Whoever no
Jeep what?aJeep,what is that?
Looks like a Jeep Cherokee
