Mercedes G-Class ‘Edition Stronger Than The 1980s’ harks back to the original model of yesteryear
The vehicle will be limited to 460 units worldwide and will be priced from £152,815.
Mercedes has revealed a limited-run version of the G-Class SUV with the ‘Edition Stronger Than The 1980s’.
Harking back to the original car from 1979, the ‘Edition Stronger Than The 1980s’ keeps all of the modern safety and technology of the latest G-Class, with design cues from the model of yesteryear.
The exterior features orange-coloured indicator lenses, five-spoke alloy wheels, black front radiator grille, bumpers, flared wheel arches and door mirrors. Other details include front and rear mud flaps, protective grilles for the front headlights and all-terrain tyres to help with the car’s off-road capabilities.
Inside, the retro theme continues with black leather seats while the centre sections are finished off in Dove Grey fabric – a popular choice of material at the time of the 1980s. The passenger grab handle located on the dashboard bears the lettering ‘Stronger Than The 1980s’ and all cars come with a numbered ‘1 of 460’ plaque on the centre console.
Under the bonnet, the car is available with a choice of two engines. There’s a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six diesel, badged ‘G450d’, or a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol badged ‘G500’. The former produces 367bhp, while the latter pumps out a healthy 455bhp.
Prices for the ‘Edition Stronger Than The 1980s’ start at £152,815 and production is capped at just 460 units worldwide. Order books are open now, with expected deliveries to commence later this year.
