The Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen or G-Class is the perfect combination of upper class civility and a resilient, off-road machine. The G-Class is the Mercedes-Benz answer to both the luxurious Range Rovers and utilitarian Land Rovers and Jeeps. It looks positively ancient next to a modern GL-class, yet continues to soldier on 36 years after its debut. Take one off road and the appeal of the four-wheel-drive G-Class becomes readily apparent. There is no doubt the rugged and reliable G-Class was designed to take on more than just rain and snow. Dirt roads, desert sand, forests, rock-strewn wilderness, icy passes or streams – no off-road challenge is too big for the G-Class.
What’s crazy is you can wash the G-Class, put on your tux or cocktail dress and arrive in such style that the valet is likely to park your vehicle out front. The two visions seem incongruent at best, yet they somehow work in the G-Class. Range Rovers seem positively tame by comparison. The G-Class has become popular with the Hollywood set looking for something that’s unusual to drive. It’s certainly different. This V-8 powered, Dark Blue 2000 G550 AMG Brabus Convertible takes things to a whole new level. It has upgrades from both AMG and Brabus – the aftermarket tuning company that specializes in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Featuring an exceedingly rare drop top, this is a unique take on the G-Class.
