German car tuning specialists Hamann have revealed their latest project naming it the Typhoon, based off the Mercedes Benz G55 AMG. Hamann went with a biturbo setup to increase the performance numbers to 600 hp and 782 Nm of torque. It comes equipped with the Brabus G V12 S Biturbo kit that includes new electronics, larger belt pulley, and a re-engineered transmission with oil cooler. Increases in the sprint numbers are a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds and the Mercedes Benz G55 AMG Typhoon can reach a top speed of 261 km/h (162 mph). Besides the performance increases, Hamann also customized the interior and exterior with many accessories to give it a unique look.

A new front spoiler with LED daytime running lights are also an option along with a rear bumper and diffuser. Other parts installed on the exterior, a six pipe exhaust system, 24 inch rims, and a roof mounted spoiler. Inside is a custom Hamann steering wheel, carbon fiber trim set that is 24 pieces all together, aluminum pedals, stainless steel door plates, and velor upholstery.

It looks good. It resembles Hummer a bit except for the nice looking interior. Typhoon is an amazing car and with biturbo setup that increases performance to 600hp and 780Nm, definitely an amazing car!
Two Indian cars- the Tata Sumo and the Mahindra Bolero have used the G’s design cues extensively. If you google these names, you’ll understand.
