Mercedes-Benz has recently celebrated the production of its 500,000th G-Class unit. The German car manufacturer commemorated the milestone by giving the special edition vehicle a unique design that pays homage to the iconic car’s roots. The design inspiration for this particular model comes from the 1986 280 GE, which is why it features an “Agave Green” paint job, a color that was previously offered in the car’s earliest iterations.

The exterior of the car is accentuated with solid black accents that can be found in various components such as the grille, bumpers, fender flares, door handles, and rub strips. To protect the headlights, stone guards were installed, and the rims were painted silver, while a vintage vinyl cover shrouds the spare tire at the back. A bright amber plastic overlay was also added over the turn signals to give the car a vintage feel.

The interior of the car features vintage-inspired elements such as checkered fabric upholstery on the seats, reminiscent of the 1986 model. The car’s grab handle sports a badge that identifies it as the 500,000th model produced. In addition, both the front and rear license plates bear the number “500,000” to commemorate the car’s production lifespan.

Mercedes-Benz’s 500,000th G-Class is a unique tribute to the car’s rich history, blending vintage design elements with modern engineering and technology. It has been an icon in the automotive industry for over four decades.

Since its introduction in 1979, the G-Class has been a symbol of luxury, off-road performance, and rugged durability. Its unique design and exceptional capabilities have made it a favorite among car enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
