Mercedes has given the classic V8 G-Class a limited-edition production run for this year. The G-Class Edition 550 features unpretentious color schemes — it’s only available in grey, white, and red, with black bumpers and trim for contrast — and interiors decked out in upgrade leather.
The Edition 550’s engine is the automaker’s 4.0L eight-cylinder. Like the regular production G-Class, the engine produces 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, more than enough for most drivers. The 550’s interiors are far more slickly presented; they are sheathed in nappa leather in a two-tone scheme, and there’s carbon fiber trim as well
The 200 examples feature edition-specific badging inside and out, with the production number displayed prominently. Mercedes-Benz hasn’t revealed pricing or delivery information for the special edition at this point.
