Mercedes G-Wagens spotted in Mumbai

bivin · 12th December 2009, 12:59

the G55 is one of the most beautiful cars ive ever seen.. not in terms of looks alone, but in character.. but such a car is not appreciated by all in India. only the other day i was showing pics of Hannie's Gwagen to my buddies, and they were like, who gets a FORCE in matte black??. its a shame people fail to understand its true potential!!

P.S: didnt mean any offence to hanmust.. i still love your ride!!

Spotted a G55 AMG Brabus around Juhu. Very poor quality picture, Sorry. My autorickshaw was driving as though he was in a G55

Those are Brabus rims for sure .

But it is unclear if it is 'k8 g55' as the Brabus front bumpers are missing .

It did have the Brabus logo on the Spare wheel at the back.

Caught the beast! G55 //AMG. Had 'illegal' Marathi number plates and was followed by 2 police jeeps! Hence could take just one pic in the mirror

Man that thing oozes presence!

Perfect candidate for the 'Best Dadagiri Car' thread (link)

I am one of those lucky people in this world who got to be behind the wheel of this monster.

Its a New Addition to the stables of a prominent politician who use to be with SS & is now with the Congress. Lives in Union Park Khar. Man, some day even I would like to be a politician. Car is parked outside his house at night if hes at home. You can get a good look at it.

Spotted the beast again !
Black G55 ///AMG at Linking Road. Was accompanied by 1 cop car and a Jag XJL filled with Private guards, so didn't dare to go more nearer to the car

One word for this car. INSANE. I used to ride in one belonging to a friend. It definitely sounds insane as well. Being a 2.5 ton SUV, one would expect it to be leisurely starting off from a standstill, but hello, it lifts its skirts and sprints. It gives the Gallardos and F430's a definite run for their money. Hell, its quicker than a Hamann X6. That's all I have to say.

@rosso corso

Have done the PDI of the black G55 as part of my internship at Autohanger it was delivered yesterday. cannot reveal the owners name. But shes one hell of a ride, Exhaust note of G55 found it way better then SL55 AMG.
