Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen Gold Portfolio 1981 - 2005

Más información sobre el libro

The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen has been around for a very long time, even by Mercedes’ standards. It’s gone through several reincarnations in the more than two decades of its existence but underneath it all it is still a 1981 model that was designed around a military specification and so was rather square-cut unlike most of its rivals (mainly Japanese) where there was some attempt to make the vehicles look less utilitarian, less intimidating.In more recent times buyers have been able to order an AMG version with the company’s huge 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine, w-i-d-e wheels and tyres, full leather interior, automatic air conditioning and most of the other luxury paraphernalia that wealthy buyers seem to need.Its performance is electrifying so long as you don’t have to pay for the fuel! Mercedes-Benz introduced the much softer M-Class to cater for a wider audience that was extremely successful.Included Road and off-road comparison tests • history • buying second hand.
