Retro Mercedes G-Class Limited Edition

Mercedes has a new limited edition G-Class inspired by the 1980s version, the Edition Stronger Than 1980s. Only 460 units will be produced, with deliveries expected to begin later this year.

This G-Class is finished in Agave Green, just like the retro version introduced two years ago. It features a front grille, radiator grille, brush guard, lower bumper, bumpers, side skirts, wheel arches and mirror caps painted in Night Black Magno, to highlight the rugged design of the original G-Class, and silver 18-inch wheels. It also comes standard with the Professional Line equipment package that includes all-terrain tires, mudguards and a roof rack with a ladder mounted on the rear.

Customers will be able to choose from three different body colors: Agave Green, Cream and Colorado Beige. These three colors were the first available for the G-Class in the 1980s. The car carries special badges located on the hood, tailgate and spare tire cover.

The interior is equipped with Dove Gray plaid fabric inserts and a “1 of 460” badge located on the center console. The passenger grab handle reads “Stronger Than the 1980s”, and the front door sills feature a topographic map of the Schöckl mountain.

As for the powertrain, this version is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six engine with mild hybrid technology for a total output of 443 hp. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission with limited slip differentials.

Speaking of price, the G-Class Edition Stronger Than the 1980s costs £152,815 in the UK.

Carlex Rose Vintage based on Mercedes G-Class

Since its introduction in the early 1970s, the G-Class has attracted the attention of many, even those who were not fans of this type of vehicle. The latest generations are increasingly attractive and tuners often use them in their projects. One such model was presented by Carlex Design, Rose Vintage.

Carlex Design is one of the few companies that creatively makes cars better than factory ones. Rose Vintage is just a continuation of the Vintage project that started in 2024 with the Carlex G-Vintage model. This example is painted in Pink and may not appeal to everyone.

The car is equipped with a unique body kit that includes a chrome bumper, a new radiator grille, wider wheel arches, a new rear bumper, and the Carlex logo instead of the Mercedes logo. The lower part of the body is painted in a delicate pink shade, while the upper part is white. It is mounted on a set of chrome rims with pink covers and tires with white side stripes in a retro style.

The interior is upholstered in pink leather, which perfectly matches the exterior. The leather covers the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, door panels and even the trunk. The ceiling is the same color but made of Alcantara, while the armrest has two white lines.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. As a reminder, the Carlex G-Vintage is powered by a 4.0-L V8 twin-turbo engine with 805 hp (600 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.

The G-Falcon is a one of a kind Mercedes-Benz G-Class inspired by falconry

Falconry has been part of the life of Middle Eastern peoples for about 4,000 years, and today it is one of the UAE’s most honored traditional sports. To pay tribute to Middle-Eastern falconry, two European companies, Carlex Design and VO Falcon, produced a unique Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the G-Falcon.

Carlex is known for his wild car interior designs, and this project required four years of work. This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted car in a unique bronze color, with an engraved mural of a falcon on the roof. Compared to the original G-Class, the G-Falcon has a redesigned front fascia, extended wheel arches, and new trim. It’s mounted on a new set of body-colored rims, while the spare wheel has a unique cover with G-Falcon lettering.

Inside, red leather covers the seats, door panels, dashboard, and steering wheel. There’s also plenty of unique quilted and hand-stitched work, on the doors and center console.

The Swedish company VO Falcon has produced a special rifle inspired by Arabian design and falconry, which is stored in a wooden case lined with black leather.

The G-Falcon and the rifle will be exhibited in Abu Dhabi on August 31.
