SLR McLaren powered Mercedes G55 AMG, 0-60 in 4.2 sec

Could somebody explain the point of this vehicle to me.

Thats the point. There isnt one. Its just plain fun for the uber rich, thats all.

excess. waste. ostentation. fun.

yes, the point is this...if you can have a G500 for $100 or this McLaren G55 for $200....which would you chose? That's what the cost of these cars seem like for people like Abu Dhabi.

Don't you get it? They're not paying for those expensive toys... WE ARE!!! $3.50 per gallon at a time.

So? what to do about it? Not buy anymore gasoline?

No, just use less of it

oh of course...that'll definitely stop them from buying such cars. yea ok.

Gotta look good for the 72 virgins

Kraut = good for laughs :) keep up the good work...lol..

Gotta drive fast for the 72 virgins ;-)

Probably Lewis Hamilton, because he drives one. I am kidding, he drives the diesel version of the GL, what a cheapstake, and he just got 270 million dollars for his contract.

sorry not GL, just Merc G.

I say if you have the means then why not??? How many Super Cars are that Green friendly???

The Audi R8 TDI and Tesla Roadster.

This is like that Arab that dumped an SLR into his SLK and it beat an Enzo.

That Enzo was beaten also because the driver was short-shifting. But if they were racing properly, it would be a good race. :)

"Zakah" (paying charity, to the ones who need it) is compulsory in Islam. Ignorant fool.

and yes, Im a muslim.

Mercedes G is very popular here. Especially the G55 AMG. But this is just crazy.

JUGNU

What a sleeper

Toyota wants us to think they're so green, but they still make the Land Cruiser and Sequoia with massive 5.7L V8s.

Why are some of you people so jealous?

Wow, you guys are a boring bunch.

This thing is nuts, and like the looks of the G-wagon or not, this is enough to get any car enthusiast interested.

Guess not...

I'm sorry guys. You can check my record. I don't normally bash cars on this site, but I always thought the G was the ugliest thing on the streets since the vw thing.

He who questions the amount of horsepower sits down to pee.

Quite right!
