G65 AMG offered by Mercedes

We are aware with fact that already know that Mercedes is planning to offer a G55 AMG - we’ve got spy shots to prove it - but now new spy images suggest that the company is also working on an even more powerful G-Class: the G65 AMG. The bad news is that it will be limited to only 200 units, each carrying a price tag of € 250,000, or about $326,500 at the current exchange rates.

The car has become special due to the engine found under the hood: a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 with 612 HP and 737 lb-ft of peak torque - previously used in the S65 AMG. The model will be distinguished by two coolers in the front bumper, one placed at each side, and a more aggressive exterior design language. Mercedes does promise that the new G65 AMG will significantly improve on fuel consumption, but we’re guessing anyone willing to purchase this vehicle will still need their own oil field to be able to enjoy it at full speed.

The upcoming Mercedes G65 AMG is expected to make its world debut at either the Detroit Auto Show in January 2012 or at the Geneva Car Show in March 2012.
