Hot on the heels of its revisions to the uber-brick known as the G-Class for 2009, Mercedes-Benz has released the first batch of pics showing the hotted-up AMG version, the G 55 AMG. Like its lesser brick siblings, the big box on wheels benefits from the same upgrades in convenience, consolation and safety, but plus gets a host of styling tweaks. The lipstick on that specific pig is comprised of a new chromed, three-bar grille, the requisite fender flairs, body-color bumpers, chrome trim, stainless steel tube running boards and 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels painted grey. The 5.5L V8 engine has

received a modest bump from 500 hp to 507, while torque remains put at 516 pound-feet. All that adds up to an incredible 5.5 moment run to 62 MPH for what is perhaps the most unaerodynamic vehicle on sale nowadays. The starting price is 121,618 euro. We take in Britney’s already ordered three.
