Model History: The 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Grand Edition represents the apex of the pre-facelift G-Class era, combining military-grade engineering with AMG's supercharged performance philosophy. Limited to just 500 units worldwide, the Grand Edition was Mercedes' response to growing demand for ultra-exclusive luxury SUVs, featuring unique interior appointments and special badging that distinguished it from standard G55 AMG models. Built on the same ladder frame chassis that had served military applications since 1979, this generation retained the G-Wagen's legendary three locking differentials and solid axles while incorporating AMG's hand-built 5.5-liter supercharged V8 producing 469 horsepower. The marriage of uncompromising off-road capability with supercar-level performance created a vehicle that could traverse the Rubicon Trail and accelerate to 60 mph in under 5 seconds—a combination unmatched by any contemporary SUV. Against rivals like the Range Rover HSE and Cadillac Escalade, the G55 AMG Grand Edition occupied a unique position as both the most capable off-roader and most exclusive luxury SUV in its class. The model's significance extends beyond its mechanical prowess; it represented Mercedes' commitment to preserving the G-Wagen's utilitarian DNA while elevating it to supercar status, a philosophy that would influence the entire luxury SUV segment. The 2005 model year marked the final iteration before significant updates, making these Grand Edition examples increasingly collectible as the last of the "classic" G55 AMG design. With production numbers rivaling exotic supercars and a reputation for bulletproof reliability, the Grand Edition has achieved iconic status among collectors who appreciate its blend of exclusivity, performance, and timeless design.
