But when it consumes, it can deliver breathtaking performance. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.86 seconds — that’s sports car timing posted by an SUV. A restricted top speed of 210 km/h sounds like nothing much for a 500+ PS SUV, but you get there utterly fast and, honestly, given our roads, I would prefer to just go there and back off or else the consequences would not be happy at all.
It still has a stiff suspension providing not so good ride quality. However, it was never meant for comfortable long drives, only short sprints to the neighbouring city in record time or, if you are brave (or stupid) enough, a few laps at the BIC. Slightly less stiff suspension would have made the G-Wagen a comfortable long-distance tourer. I hope that the new G-Wagen has better ride quality than this one.
