Mercedes G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s launched

The centre portion of the black leather seats is covered with dove grey fabric with a chequered square design, very popular in the 80s.

Mercedes-Benz has launched the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s paying homage to the first G-Class model, the W 460. It features colours and design elements from the classic 280 GE. The G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s is limited to only 460 units worldwide.

The G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s will be offered in two exclusive paint shades; MANUFAKTUR Agave Green solid and MANUFAKTUR Colorado Beige Solid. It gets orange indicators to reflect the vintage look. The radiator grille as well as the bumpers, flared wheel arches and exterior mirror housings are finished in Night Black Magno. The underbody protection is also finished in black. The Mercedes star on the bonnet takes inspiration from the historic emblem, featuring the Mercedes-Benz lettering and a laurel wreath on a blue background. The rear door gets an original part from the 1980s, a silver badge featuring the black “Mercedes‑Benz” lettering and a canvas spare wheel cover. The SUV rides on classic 5-spoke alloy wheels. As part of the PROFESSIONAL Line Exterior package, you get front and rear mud flaps, protective grilles for headlamps for the darkened headlights and all-terrain tyres. A roof luggage rack is available as an option.

The interior also has a retro theme to it. The centre portion of the black leather seats is covered with dove grey fabric with a chequered square design, very popular in the 80s. The front door sill panels feature the topography of the Schöckl mountain near Graz. Additionally, there is a “Schöckl Proved” badge at the base of the B-pillar displaying a historical G-model in the respective vehicle colour, and the trim moulding of the passenger grab handle bears the lettering “STRONGER THAN THE 1980s”. All cars are individually numbered in the wood of the centre console. Other features include a multi-function steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather, a sliding glass sunroof and a 3D Burmester sound system.

The G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s will be available in G 450 d diesel and G 500 petrol variants.
