Known for their bold designs, the tuning firm Hamann recently turned their attention to the Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, transforming it into a model they're calling the Hamann Typhoon. From a power standpoint, its figures are impressive: 600hp (441kW) and 576lb-ft (782Nm) of torque, enough to propel the SUV from 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds and help it reach a top speed of 162 mph.
To kick this off this blisteringly hot July morning, Mercedes has released details of what prospective G-Class owners can come to expect from the latest rendition of the G55 AMG Kompressor.
To coincide with its 30th birthday, the legendary G-Class benefits from new additional features that primarily enhance comfort and exclusivity in the interior.
Mercedes-Benz is once again going its separate way with the G-Class. Instead of modernising the visual appeal of the striking design icon and relaunching it with a new design, those in charge have left its indestructible, hallmark traits untouched since 1979.
It's been thirty years since production began on the Mercedes G-Class, and since then, it's become one of the most enduring models of our time. In total, some 200,000 units of the G-Class have been delivered to customers around the world, all the more impressive considering its design has remained largely unchanged throughout its life span.
It's hard to believe it's been over 25 years since Mercedes first introduced the legendary G-Class, and yet, despite rumors of Mercedes phasing out the classic model, it remains - a rugged staple of Mercedes' SUV lineup.
