Retro Rugged, Modern Might: Meet the G-Class STRONGER THAN THE 1980s 

Mercedes-Benz G-Class STRONGER THAN THE 1980s 

Mercedes-Benz has taken a bold stride back in time with the G-Class STRONGER THAN THE 1980s edition. This limited-edition SUV pays homage to the original Geländewagen while offering all the performance, comfort, and tech of a modern Mercedes. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, we’re proud to share this incredibly rare model—one that fuses 1980s off-road charm with contemporary luxury. 



An Exclusive Throwback to the Iconic 280 GE 

The G-Class STRONGER THAN THE 1980s edition is more than just a nod to the past. It’s a design-rich tribute to the first G-Class series, the legendary W 460. This new edition draws inspiration directly from that model, adding historical flair to the capable 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550

Only 460 units are available worldwide, making this Mercedes-Benz G-Class special edition one of the most collectible in recent memory. Whether you’re a longtime G-Wagen enthusiast or a first-time admirer, this SUV makes a statement. 



Vintage Styling, Contemporary Presence 

From the outside, it’s clear this model channels the rugged elegance of its predecessor. Customers can choose from three heritage paint colors: 

  • MANUFAKTUR Agave Green – Perfect for those who love off-roading and nature. 
  • MANUFAKTUR Cream – A polished, city-friendly hue with timeless appeal. 
  • MANUFAKTUR Colorado Beige – Warm, adventurous, and incredibly distinctive. 

Moreover, every exterior detail has been curated with purpose. The bumpers, wheel arches, and mirror housings are finished in Night Black Magno. The iconic Mercedes star on the hood replicates the original emblem, complete with the blue laurel wreath design. Additionally, 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels and amber indicator lights seal the nostalgic look. 

Interior That Honors the Past While Embracing the Future 

Inside, the G-Class STRONGER THAN THE 1980s edition stays true to its retro inspiration. Yet it doesn’t hold back on modern comfort. Black leather seats feature Dove Grey fabric inserts that reflect 1980s styling. A “STRONGER THAN THE 1980s” inscription proudly adorns the grab handle, while the Schöckl Proved badge—showing a vintage G-Class—adds even more charm. 

Key details include: 

  • Topographic Schöckl mountain map on the door sills 
  • MANUFAKTUR Logo Package with black door handles 
  • Illuminated mirror projection with “G – STRONGER THAN TIME” 
  • 1 of 460” center console badge 
  • PROFESSIONAL Line equipment like mud flaps and roof rack (Agave Green models) 

These design cues turn each drive into a tribute to the G-Class legacy.
