A special edition G-wagon - the ultimate aspirational vehicle!

Well-heeled lovers of German luxury and unadulterated power have something new to look forward to in the way of a brand new special-edition G-wagon: The G63 "Grand Edition" model, which underscores the sheer opulence and exclusivity of this much-loved performance off-roader. Of the 1000 models built, only 20 are designated for South African buyers:

"The G-Class is the Godfather of the SUV. A handcrafted luxury off-roader that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. It commemorates the legendary status of the G- Class and confirms its iconic status on and off the road." - Mark Raine, (outgoing) co-CEO of Mercedes-Benz South Africa.

What does it look like?

Not even the sale of your kidney on the black market will buy you one of these.

The "Grand Edition" model would have to look pretty special to wear this nameplate, and it does. It is painted in MANUFAKTUR night black magno, with gold embellishments that provide an eye-catching contrast. They emphasise the specific design aspects that tie the modern off-road vehicle emblem back to the initial G model of 1979.

The AMG logo, Mercedes star, and bonnet emblem are all finished in Kalaharigold magno, creating a luxurious and eye-catching effect. The 22.0-inch AMG forged wheels, with their tech gold finish and matching side foiling, further enhance the vehicle's sporty and stylish appeal.

What makes the "Grand Edition" interior special?

The Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Grand Edition" interior is a luxurious blend of black and gold accents that echoes the stunning exterior.

Upon entering, you're greeted by illuminated "AMG" emblems and sleek black door sills. The seats, upholstered in G Manufaktur black nappa leather, feature contrasting gold stitching. Gold-accented plaques and floor mats add to the opulent atmosphere. Even the roof grab handles are finished in luxurious Nappa leather. Carbon with copper thread accents throughout the interior, including the steering wheel clasp, provides a touch of sportiness.

"The Mercedes-AMG G 63 is now also undoubtedly regarded as an automotive icon and demonstrates its unique position among performance", says Alexandra Boavida, VP Sales and Marketing MBSA. 

"South Africa received an allocation of just 20 units, of which many have been accounted for. This Grand Edition is a testament to the G-Class and ushers in a new era of G which will be revealed in the coming months."
