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

Where else could you see a SLR McLaren powered Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG but in the land where license plates are sold for more than $14 million and home to one of the five $1.8 million Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang.

What are the specs? Well power comes from the 5.5 liter supercharged V8 engine producing 720 horsepower. 0-60 for this G55 comes in at 4.2 seconds while 0-100mph comes in around 10.

No idea who owns this baby or how much it costs, but of course you’ll never see this anywhere else than the land of the oil-rich folks, Abu Dhabi.

    Not bad for a vehicle that has the aerodynamics of a refridgerator. Still, I’d rather have a motor like that in a sleek sports car and some serious off-roading duds on a truck like this. Which is weird, since I normally like odd vehicles.

    That truck is beast! The owner even went through the trouble of making it look like the ‘08 model as shown by the xenon headlights (which actually look factory) and the new taillights (which are different in the pictures and video). But I guess opted out of the rear view camera! That thing goes so fast forward that who cares to see what is going on behind the truck! The other question is what are you going to tow with that truck with that poor excuse for a trailer hitch? Whatever you do tow will be lost because it will fly off in acceleration…haha.
