The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagen, short for Geländewagen (or cross-country vehicle), is a four-wheel drive vehicle/sport utility vehicle characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It utilises three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. Originally developed as a military vehicle and offered as a civilian version in 1979, it proved so competent and popular due to its classic design, durability, and formidable performance that demand has ensured it is still in production today.
The G 500 Cabriolet, a rare and sought-after variant produced in 2007, epitomizes the G-Class’s blend of hardiness and opulence. With its electronically removable top, the G 500 Cabrio offers a unique open-air experience, combining the utility of a cross-country vehicle with the pleasure of a convertible.
As a testament to the G-Class legacy, the G 500 Cabriolet stands out with its reliable 5.0-liter V8 engine, delivering 296 horsepower for robust performance. Its distinct design and convertible nature have made it a cherished model among enthusiasts, striking a fine balance between the rugged ethos of the G-Class and the sophistication expected from Mercedes-Benz.
This particular G 500 Cabriolet, hailing from 2007, has been meticulously maintained by just two owners since its original delivery in Switzerland. With only 32,082 km on the odometer, it stands as a pristine example of automotive heritage, complete with all accessories included. Swiss VAT has been paid.
Professionally converted to reflect contemporary aesthetics, this G 500 retains its original character with a modern twist. Upgrades to the front apron, grille, hood, mirrors, wheels, mudguards, and rear lights have been artfully integrated, ensuring the “old” G 500 presents itself with a fresh, modern demeanor. This fusion of classic and contemporary makes this G 500 Cabriolet a unique and highly desirable collectible.
The vehicle is equipped with matching 5-twin-spoke rims that are engineered to support the weight and power of this luxury G-Wagon. The gloss-black finish adds a touch of sophistication and contrasts beautifully with the rugged Cooper tires. These tires are specifically designed for all-terrain performance, offering superior traction and durability, which is essential for the G500’s adventurous spirit.
Behind these impressive wheels, you’ll find a high-performance braking system. The ventilated brake discs are gripped by powerful white calipers, ensuring that the G500 comes to a stop as effortlessly as it accelerates.
The interior of the G 500 Cabriolet is a showcase of the designo package’s luxurious appointments. The cabin is a testament to refined taste, featuring exquisite wood trim that highlights the dashboard and door panels, complementing the steering wheel with its rich wood inlay that adds a classic touch.
The seats are wrapped in supple, high-quality designo leather, offering a plush feel and an elegant look. The fine stitching details and the designo badge on the headrests affirm the bespoke nature of the interior. Every touchpoint reaffirms Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to comfort and luxury, creating an environment that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is tactilely satisfying. The interior is well maintained and in immaculate condition.
The G500 Cabriolet’s robust 5.0-liter V8 engine commands the road with 296 hp, delivering a solid balance of power and refinement. With a hearty torque output of 456 Nm at 2,800-4,000 rpm, this model stands as a testament to a legacy of dynamic performance combined with open-air elegance. The G500 Cabriolet boasts an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, reflecting its spirited yet poised nature. This engine, revered for its reliability and endurance, comes equipped with advanced technical features, such as precise multi-point fuel injection and a sophisticated engine management system, ensuring efficient fuel combustion and a smooth ride.
