Over the years, Mercedes-Benz have managed to
transform the G-Class from a no-nonsense all-terrain vehicle, to something
that's more of a cultural icon/fashion statement.
In their efforts, they went from AMG-powered models,
all the way to something like the G63 AMG 6x6, a six-wheeled beast that might
as well live on Mars than somewhere with an infrastructure.
Their latest creation however was slightly more
sensible than the 6x6, yet still bonkers in its own right. We're talking of
course about the G500 4x4², powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, good for 422
PS and 610 Nm.
Earlier this year in Geneva, Brabus also launched
the G550 Adventure, an even more rugged version of the regular G500 4x4², with
more power and even more off-roading ability.
The G550 Adventure puts down 550 PS and 800
Nm, enough to take this three tonne SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
It's also got underbody protection, a winch, hood
scoop, extra lighting units and an electronically adjustable suspension -
pretty much everything you'd need if you were a Jurassic World employee.
