Mercedes Benz G 55 AMG Typhoon, by Hamann

If you were in the mood for some hardcore tuning, then this is the thing for you. German tuner Hamann thought to present us with the Typhoon, a Mercedes Benz G 55 AMG based red interior beast. But let's take it one at a time.

Hamann equipped the G 55 with a HM600 power kit, paired it with a reengineered transmission, remapped electronics with a bi-turbo architecture (sourced from Brabus' G V12 S Biturbo), making the G 55 reach impressive figures: 600 hp and 782 Nm of torque. This means naught to sixty acceleration in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 261 km/h (162 mph).

For the sake of comparison, the series built 2008 Mercedes Benz G 55 uses a 5.4l V8 Kompressor engine, which develops 507 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. The series AMG reaches 100 mph in 5.5 seconds and tops at 130.4 mph (210 km/h)

On the exterior, besides giving it a dirty-white paint job, Hamann brought the upgrades listed below which, to be honest, looks fairly decent.

• carbon fiber mirrors
• custom door handles
• large front grille
• front spoiler with LED daytime running lights
• rear bumper and diffuser
• six pipe exhaust system
• roof spoiler
• 24 inch alloy wheels

What really catches the eye, besides the oversized alloy wheels, is the red velour interior, clearly visible from the outside as well. Besides the upholstery, red inserts can be spotted on the dashboard. Additionally, Hamann added a house made steering wheel, aluminum pedals and stainless steel door plates.

No prices for the Mercedes Benz G 55 AMG Typhoon have yet been released.
