Mercedes G-CLASS G500 Off Road day

A Mercedes G-Wagen movie i shot last september this time with proper video equipment.
Featuring some really nice climbs on soft red sand, showing how the newly installed 5.0 V8 takes this G-class, originaly a W460 1979 230G (90 horsepower :)), everywhere or almost.
"The Nasty" is fitted with Mudzilla tires, with the front locker not working that day. The 5.0 V8 engine comes from a sedan W126 500SE, it delivers something like 240 horsepower and 400N.m of torque, enough to pull the 2.5 tonns LWB on any slope.
A moment after we started shooting, the engine started to misfire; we later found out that the fuel tank had only like 25 liters in it, fuel had trouble reaching the engine on some hard slopes.
I hope you'll enjoy the vid.

"the Nasty" is the coolest G in the world!

[SUPERCHARGEDF1]

@ahage4x4 Although not a Mercedes hater, I never was a fan simply because of the price one pays for the Mercedes Tag and the fact that their cars were boring White Collared status symbols. But I've followed a few of these around including a couple Merc SLS in Toronto, and seems as if people are Enjoying these rides. And they actually look Badass and hungry for a challenge. Don't know if they got some ideas from owning Chrysler (V8 Engine, SLS looks like an expensive Viper)
