What the Press Says About the EMC Wolf
Over the past several years, the EMC Wolf has been driven and reviewed by some of the most prestigious outlets in automotive journalism. This page collects recent coverage on our newest offering, the LS3 V8 620GE Wolf, in one place.
Forbes: Test-Driving the V8-Powered 620GE
In August 2026, Forbes contributor Michael Van Runkle drove our China Blue 620GE on a misty Monterey morning during Car Week and published his verdict. He singled out the powertrain integration as the detail that separates the truck from the wider restomod field, noting that the work of making a modern crate engine and gearbox behave as one coherent vehicle is where other builders most often fall short, and he described steering precise enough for relaxed one-hand driving, a FOX-suspended ride that stays composed under load, and an exhaust tuned toward restraint rather than volume. His conclusion: the V8 Wolf gets "about as close to new-car perfection as a classic 4x4 can possibly hope to achieve."

MotorTrend: First Drive of the 620GE Wolf
MotorTrend's first drive put the 620GE on the road and came back with the observation every restomod chases: acceleration and passing manners that read as factory-fresh rather than converted, describing the truck overtaking slow traffic "like a G-Wagen that rolled out of the factory yesterday." The review's conclusion measured the build against the restomod brief itself, vintage charm combined with modern usability, and found that the 620GE delivers precisely that pairing.

On Camera: Riding Along in the LS3 Wolf
For those who would rather watch a review than read one, automotive journalist Jonny Lieberman took the LS3-powered Wolf for a drive on camera and shared his impressions of how the truck behaves from behind the wheel. The full video is on his YouTube channel and can be viewed by clicking the link below:

What the Coverage Has in Common
Different outlets, different drives, and one recurring observation: reviewers notice the engineering before anything else. The integration Forbes singled out is the same work we describe in our own account of the 620GE, developed in-house across more than 180 restorations of a single platform. The most direct way to see that work is in the trucks themselves: every restored G-Wagon we complete is documented on our builds page.
