Mercedes G-Wagen Turns 30: The 11 Best Special Versions

In 1979, the first Galendewagen, debuted. Built to take over small countries, the über-cool G-wagen is testosterone incarnate. Jalopnik takes a look at the 11 best special versions ever built of this brutishly beautiful Benz.

 

I think the Best looking model is the 2007-2008 G55 with the anthracite wheels, 507hp s/c and designo interior.

 

The '83 Paris to Dakar rally truck and the Edition30 G.Pur are my favorites.

 

Wrong - the pickup is the best one.

 

Ftw!

 

Yeah, but look at how dumb the guy looks in that picture. Acid wash jeans? Come on... Doesn't get much lamer than that. He might as well be wearing pleated pants! And don't even get me started on the flowers and shrubbery he's filling that beast with!

If you're gonna get a G-wagen truck, you sure as shit had better put a friggin' 50-cal machine gun in the back! None of this pussy flower nonsense!

 

That G wagen is so badass, the guy could be loading it up with tampons and it would still be cool.

Maybe.
