    Re: INSANE: G55 with SLR Engine!

    If you watch the acceleration video it takes about 22 seconds to reach 200kph (126mph). It's not very quick compared to a stock Cayenne Twin Turbo if you compare the two.
    Car and Driver TEST RESULTS:
    Zero to 60 mph: 4.9 sec
    Zero to 100 mph: 11.8 sec
    Zero to 150 mph: 33.5 sec
    Street start, 5-60 mph: 5.5 sec
    Standing 1/4-mile: 13.5 sec @ 107 mph
    I can't find a test from 0-200kph for the Cayenne here in the US anywhere. Considering what that G-wagon costs and how much Hp it has, I'd think it'd be quicker.

    Re: INSANE: G55 with SLR Engine!

    With respect, that time for the G55 from 0-200kph is that of a standard 500hp model with the V8 Kompressor engine.

    The G55 with the SLR engine should be a bit quicker

    However, in any event, the Brabus V12 G-Wagen should be the quickest G-Class. I don't have figures but if you have heard of MB's TT V12's + Brabus tuning; then nothing more needs to be said.

    (Just look at the takeoff at 2.55)

    Bilal, I meant the G55 with the SLR engine, not the Brabus one.

    Re: INSANE: G55 with SLR Engine!

    My apologies.

    I think he means the video of the G55 doing 0-200kph which is in the menu alongside the main youtube video of the G55/SLR which Skazzy posted.

    Holy moly...thats insane. Leave it to the UAE to go that nuts. G class is my favorite off-roader. Only Benz id buy out of my own pocket.

    I love the old G wagen. I can't believe they changed the G class and made it into something else entirely.

    It's a classic. Merc in Muscat had a G55, lovely car but I just cannot get it our of my mind driving a tank of a car. Nice sound and I like the exhausts coming from the side
