Mercedes-Benz is commemorating 30 years of the storied G-Class with a special edition: the G500 ‘Final Edition’. This particular model could be the last G-Class powered by a V8 engine and is to be produced in a limited series of just 1,500 units, underlining the marque’s commitment to exclusivity and design excellence.

This exclusive model showcases the brand’s Manufaktur paint scheme, demonstrating Mercedes-Benz’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Adding to the exterior uniqueness, the Final Edition features 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a five-twin-spoke design, color-matched with the body. Further distinguishing marks include ‘Final Edition’ lettering on the outer protective strip and the spare wheel cover, alongside an embossed logo on the doorknobs. The special edition also integrates innovative design elements, such as the projection of the ‘G’ logo and the ‘Stronger than Time’ lettering from the exterior mirrors onto the asphalt when the vehicle is stationary.
Interior Highlights

Further enhancing the premium feel of the limited edition is a genuine silver coin, crafted into an edition-specific plaque affixed to the back of the vehicle key.
