The most successful of the star’s models is not going through its best moment either. Mercedes has abolished all V8 versions of the models it sells in the United States. last year 2021 and, at the same time, since its forced end in the market is approaching, the demand for the G-Class has skyrocketed so much that the manufacturer has been forced to stop production because they are not enough.

Only 200 units that will be sold exclusively in the United States, and that will be distinguished from the rest of the units by special details. And we are not only talking about the corresponding emblem that appears on the back with the numbering of the manufactured unit of the series and that provides an important cache. But because it will be offered in three really unique colorsthe «Jupiter Red», «Arabian Grey» and «Moonlight White», the first two more difficult to see and the third one will not be very common either because, although it is the latest addition to the color palette, it will have a significant surcharge as it is from the luxury division of Manufaktur.
In addition, it has glossy black painted elements, such as the bumper, the front and rear wheel wings, the front tubular bumper, the rear-view mirror housings, the alloy wheels and even the front star, along with the rear emblem of the mechanical architecture that it houses under the hood . Inside, the seats are upholstered in two-tone nappa leather with a diamond pattern and contrast stitchingsporting a badge on the dashboard with the number of the manufactured unit and the name of the special edition, and carbon fiber decorative elements.
In the mechanical section of the new Mercedes G-Class Edition 550 there are no great novelties, since the engine is the same as that of the G 500, the well-known block of eight cylinders in V and 4.0 liters biturbo with a maximum power of 422 CV.
