This Is A G Wagon

Originally Used By The Military And German Farmers

They Were Fairly Slow Trucks, But Nowdays Not So Much

They Come Stocked With A Handmade AMG 621 HP Twin Turbo Engine That Does

0-60 In Under 5 Seconds.

But, Despite 4WD And Modern Day Technoloy To Help Keep Them On The Road

Their Tall Stance And Narrow Wheel Base Make Them A Bit Sketchey

At High Speeds

But Could You Imagine That In Reverse?

In 2016 20 G65 AMG'S Had To Be Recalled

Because They Forgot To Program A Electrical Speed Limiter For The Reverse Gear

Allowing The Car To Reach Speeds Of Over 60MPH In Reverse.

When It Should Be Limited To 15MPH

It Was A Quick Fix That Involved Altering Some Code In The ECU

Would You Drive It?
