This is, maybe, the most known performance true off-roader on the planet.
To call it just an SUV would be an understatement as long as it has superior off-road capabilities. This is the Gelandewagen. The G-Class, but with a serious supercar engine on it: the 2006 G 55 AMG has a supercharged V8 unit that develops 476 hp and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque.

They say to not judge a book by its cover. The G-Class might be mistaken with a rugged but slow off-road vehicle. It is a rugged off-road vehicle, but with 5.5 seconds for a 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint, it is anything but slow.

The transmission still features three locking differentials. All G-Class units will continue to offer center, rear, and front independently locking differentials and they must be engaged in that order when used.

Apart from the Jeep Wrangler, no other series off-road vehicle has this feature. And there is no other thoroughbred off-road vehicle that can sprint like the G 55 AMG. The closest one would be the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, but that is an SUV, not a civilian version of a military vehicle like the G-Class.

And it can do all this while the interior is still luxurious as any top-class Mercedes-Benz. Just somehow still harsh on the ride due to the solid front and rear axles.
