For 2005 model year, AMG revised G 55 AMG by adding the supercharger to the 5.4-litre V8 engine, increasing the output to 350 kW (469 hp). To differentiate G 55 AMG KOMPRESSOR from G 500 visually, AMG changed the radiator grille to three thick fins, added the embossed metal KOMPRESSOR lettering underneath V8 badge on the front fenders wings, and introduced new light-alloy wheels in titanium grey and three new metallic paint colours (Calcite White, Periclase Green, and Teallite Blue). The 0–100 km h acceleration is reduced from 7.4 to 5.6 seconds. Yet, the top speed remained at 210 km h. The engine was upgraded again for 2006 to 368 kW (493 hp) then again to 373 kW (500 hp) for 2008.
