The classic short wheelbase G-Wagen is in the final phase of its long race, and Mercedes-Benz is releasing a final edition to send the long serving tough guy off. Called the “BA3 Final Edition”, two variants will be available: the G350 BlueTEC and the G500.
The former gets a 6-cylinder diesel engine with BlueTEC emissions control, 211 hp and 540 Nm. In the G500, a 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine with 388 hp and 530 Nm takes its place. Alongside the permanent AWD with off-road ratio and 7G-Tronic seven-speed auto, the standard spec includes the electronically controlled traction system 4ETS, ESP and three differential locks with 100% locking effect selectable at the push of a button.

Externally, the Final gets AMG flared wheel arches in body colour, twin-spoke light alloys with 265/60 R18 rubber, running boards and a spare wheel cover with a 3D Mercedes-Benz star in stainless steel, as well as an AMG radiator grille in a tri-louvre design with chrome highlights.
Features to make the soldiers jealous include an electric slide/tilt sunroof, rear mudflaps, CF look inserts in the protective strips, ultrasonic reversing aid and a tyre pressure monitoring system. There more flash in the cabin too, thanks to ambient lighting, chrome highlights and burr walnut wood trim. There’s also a telephony system in the armrest with a universal interface, charging function and an external aerial for optimum reception.

sexy boxy suv
The G-Wagen is not a SUV, it’s a real offroader.
That’s why it’s in service in military forces around the world (of course not with a 5.5-litre engine and 265/60 R18 rubber).

The Army need this “boxy” shape for easy repair. But new safety regulations in terms of pedestrian safety mean the dead of such “boxy” cars in the near future for civilian use…
