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.
