About the G-Class 300GD Turbo Diesel (88 Hp) 4WD
The OM617 five-cylinder diesel made 88 hp and not a single one of them was in a hurry. What the 300GD lacked in speed it made up for in endurance — this engine has logged more kilometers in more hostile environments than any other Mercedes powerplant. The 300GD was the G-Class that armies, NGOs, and overlanders trusted with their lives. It was slow. It was unstoppable.
