Mercedes G-Class OFF-ROAD Test Drive
- last year
Off Road Test with the 2016-2018 Mercedes Benz G Class G500 with powerful 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine.
The 8-cylinder powerplant in the G500 can point to an exclusive heritage. It is based on the new generation of V8 engines developed by Mercedes AMG that have already coaxed exceptional levels of performance out of the Mercedes AMG GT and Mercedes AMG C 63. For use in theMercedes Benz G Class, the V8 has been modified to deliver 422 horsepower (310 kW) with torque of 610 Nm. Other standout attributes include a spontaneous response and high tractive power
made possible, for example, by two turbochargers, which instead of being configured on the outside of the cylinder banks, are arranged between them in the V – the so-called "hot inside V". This layout allows a compact design, optimal response and low exhaust emissions.
