A stylish one-off for the G-Wagen's 500,000th celebration

Mercedes Benz has produced this achingly tempting but singular homage to the Gelandewagen to commemorate the model’s 500,000th production unit. Retro green paint, black trim, spare tire cover, even period-orange fender-top turn signals are going to have a lot of people begging the company to produce a limited run. And look at those silver alloys, mounted with tires that actually display sidewall, unlike the typical AMG boulevard showpiece.

Underneath, of course, the chassis, running gear, etc. is all the current generation, although we’re promised (but not yet shown) a period checkered interior treatment. I’d bet a 500-example run of these would sell out in minutes.
