Boomer, North Carolina, United States
Mercedes Benz G55 AMG 2005 … Grand Edition The iconic G55 is a rugged military design, transformed into a luxury vehicle in a way only Mercedes Benz can do. To take it to an even higher level the hand-built AMG engine is Supercharged to the tune of 469 horsepower with an even more amazing 516 lbs-ft of stump pulling torque. These are supercar numbers in a four wheel drive SUV! It gets even better. This is number 248 of 500 specially built Grand Edition models with unique side badging and production plaque. Outstanding quality in a luxurious SUV, with supercar performance and one of only 500 specially built. This vehicle is truly hand-built by some of the most senior assembly line workers MB has trained according to The Star magazine. They went on to say this G55 AMG “is the quickest, fastest, loudest, most in-your-face and fun to drive SUV we have ever encountered”. (The Star Sept/October 2004). The original owner purchased this limited edition G55 in Beverly Hills, CA and never drove it more than about fifty miles from home. It was always garaged and has never seen snow. The second owner had it shipped to North Carolina and garaged it at all times but has never driven it in snow. There have been a couple of times when it was caught in rain but no snow or crud. The exterior condition is immaculate. The Alabaster White paint was rare for this year. The leather and wood trim in the interior is immaculate as well. The low miles and excellent care make this a wonderful opportunity for the right buyer. Issues? …… Not much really. The right rear window actuator is not working and there are two hair-like scratches on the right rear panel. The oil has been recently changed (Mobil 1 0w 40) and the Pirelli tires are great. A clean Carfax is available upon request. A very special SUV. Quality never goes out of style.

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.
