In a desert country renowned for its love affair with supercars, sleek beasts and four-wheeled fantasy drives, the G-Wagon has achieved something few other car brands have managed; it has become the unofficial automotive emblem of the country.
No doubt helped by the fact that the nation’s most high-profile individuals are fans of Mercedes’ distinctively shaped vehicle, the G-Wagon, already a classic of popular culture and contemporary car design, is held in high affection by the country’s car-loving residents. One of Mercedes’ earliest models and originally designed with military use in mind, it’s a super-sturdy, powerful beast capable of easily handling some of the most challenging terrain in the world, and yet sit inside one and you will feel as though you’re in a grand tourer, thanks to its focus on exceptional luxury finishing. That’s pretty much also an accurate reflection of life here: a passion for the great outdoors mixed with an appreciation for the very finest that life can offer.
With the country celebrating its 50th Jubilee in 2021, Gargash Group is releasing – yep, you’ve guessed it – 50 limited-edition models of the G-Wagon.
“We are glad to be able to pay tribute to the UAE and the brand with this vehicle. The Mercedes-AMG G 63 UAE Golden Jubilee is a testament to the evolution of our country as well as to the legendary G-Wagon,” says Shehab M. Gargash, MD & Group CEO of Gargash Group.
An automotive design icon, the G-Class is reimagined with a two-tone exterior; 25 units in a white/iridium silver combination and 25 in magnetite black/graphite grey. The body of the vehicle features Golden Jubilee badges to commemorate the occasion, complete with grey brake calipers and a specially designed grab-handle for the model. Blending a tough off-road character with matchless expressions of luxury, the G-Class is forged from the finest materials inside and out, with every detail finished by hand.
Each of the 50 units will have an exclusive serial number, to represent every year of the UAE’s union, and each vehicle sold comes with the Gargash promise of seamless after-sales service, making this highly exclusive edition destined to become a sought-after model amongst the nation’s car-loving cognoscenti.
