The German automakers keep on making more and more powerful sport-utes – some capable of pulling jumbo-jets and driving up buildings – with seemingly no end in sight. But for one owner, a stock Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG just wasn't enough to outperform his neighbor's Porsche Cayenne Turbo, so he had the engine swapped out for the 720-hp 5.5L supercharged V8 from the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The result? 0-60 in 4.2 seconds in a package that's rivaled in its exotic-engined brutality only by the long-departed Countach-powered Lamborghini LM002.

Of course there's only one place on earth that such a unique creation could possibly call home: Abu Dhabi, the same über-wealthy gulf emirate where the obscenely wealthy built Ferrari theme parks and drive $1.4 million hyper-exotics with $14 million license plates. Where else?

Go figure, its in white, just like every other car in the UAE.

 

I am just not a fan of the Lorinser bumper and lights in the front.

Lorinser = Gemballa of Mercedes. Yuck!!

 

I call bs! Anyone can slap on a Mclaren badge and claim anything they want. Same way people slap on quad-tips onto last generation S-class' and claim that they're S 55's/600's.

 

I think mohammad bin slayem does this kind of conversions. He got SLK with mclaren engin also I have seen E class with same engin too don't know if it's his and now G class. In Dubai you could expect everything. I know there is a guy got G63 or G65 I can't remember but it was special made to him.

 

Watch the Video it's got a pic of the engine bay

 

I was hoping for some action in that vid. Oh wells
