The 500,000th Mercedes Benz G-Class that rolled off the production line in Graz, Austria, represents a historic milestone for the off-road vehicle of the three-pointed star. The car in question is a one-off with a vintage look based on the 1986 280 GE, which is distinguished by the historic agave green paint, and by other details, such as the direction indicators, whose covers have a shade of orange no longer used today.
There is also a significantly larger spare wheel cover with the Mercedes star than on today’s models. “We would like to thank our loyal customers and long-time fans, our employees, and our production partner Magna Steyr in Graz – said Dr. Emmerich Schiller, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz G GmbH, as well as Head of the division off-road vehicles from Mercedes-Benz AG – we are proud of this milestone, which also underlines the exclusivity of the G-Class. With the launch of the all-electric version in 2024, we are looking forward to the future of this off-road icon with anticipation.”
