All the aerodynamics of a 9-volt battery. Some guy up the street has a G55 w/ a V-8. Seems pretty fast for a tank.

I didn't know that they made G63's I though they stopped at the G55. Besides, all the 6.2L AMG's have a V8 engine. So i doubt this has a V12

But was it ever, from what I understand, only 10-12 were ever made.


G-wagons = G55 or G63?
*55 is the "pre-LCI" amg nomenclature

differences between the *55 and *63.....not too sure...
