The private seller offers for sale this 2005 Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG Kompressor, powered by a 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This long-wheelbase G-Class is finished in white and has been given a distinctive look with a widebody kit, a later-style AMG front bumper and large black 22-inch alloy wheels, creating an imposing and modern stance. The interior is trimmed in black leather, with wood trim on the dashboard, centre console and steering wheel, and the typical AMG instrument cluster. The odometer shows 153000 km. The car comes with two keys and a service booklet with a partial maintenance history.
This G 55 AMG originates from Japan and was built to European specification. Japanese cars are often favoured by enthusiasts, as roads in large parts of Japan are not treated with de-icing salt in the way they are in Central and Northern Europe. For a vehicle like the G-Class, built on a ladder frame chassis, that background is a point of interest for buyers. Japan is also known for its strong car-care culture and the strict periodic Shaken inspections, which encourage owners to keep their vehicles well maintained.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was introduced in 1979 as a robust off-roader developed together with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, and it has since grown into an automotive icon. Its boxy silhouette, exposed door hinges and upright windscreen have barely changed over more than four decades, which is exactly what makes it so recognisable. The G 55 AMG was the first AMG-developed G-Class for series production, and in 2004 it received the supercharged Kompressor version of the 5.4-litre V8, bringing output to around 476 hp and transforming the G-Class into a true high-performance machine.
The combination of the supercharged AMG V8, permanent four-wheel drive and three locking differentials gives the G 55 AMG Kompressor a unique character: brutally fast on the road, yet still capable off it. The distinctive whine of the supercharger and the deep V8 soundtrack are part of the experience. The AMG G-Class is a model that continues to gain in appreciation among collectors and enthusiasts, and this example, with its eye-catching widebody configuration, is a G 55 AMG with a character all of its own that is sure to turn heads.
