Off-road luxury gains new heights in the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet
The luxury end of Mercedes-Benz retains excellence in automotive engineering
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is boxy, rugged and probably the toughest four-wheel-drive you can find, but fashionistas love them in a Beauty-and-the-Beast kind of way. Queen Rania of Jordan has one;
the Kardashian sisters reportedly ride in one and Myleen Klass, Hillary Duff, and Abbey Clancy have all been linked to one.
The celebrity G-for-Grrl G-Class rarely goes near potholes, but it can get her down and dirty if she wants it too. Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong offers the G350d (HK$1.09 million) V6 with a 245hp, 2,987cc turbocharged engine, and the ultra-fast G63 (HK$2.43 million) with a 571hp V8 turbocharged block, and both ooze rips-at-the-knees street glamour.
However, Mercedes-Benz has just taken off-road chic to new heights, with the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet.
Mercedes Maybach represents the luxury end of Mercedes-Benz, and it is a masterpiece of automotive engineering. After the Mercedes-Maybach S Class and the S 650 Cabriolet, the open-top G Class is the first off-roader from the Mercedes-Maybach sub-brand.
The G 650 Landaulet follows variants such as the AMG G 63 6x6 and G 500 4x42. With its superlative V12 engine, portal axles, electric fabric top and exclusive equipment specification in the rear compartment, this all-terrain vehicle, which is limited to 99 units in the autumn, meets the expectations of customers who demand the highest standards.
The history of the G-Class is rich in superlatives and landmarks. With the new Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, the off-road icon demonstrates that the definition of unique luxury can always be taken to a new level. The cult vehicle among off-roaders is forever reinventing itself and providing yet more evidence of the potential that resides in this classic all-terrain vehicle, which has been in production since 1979.
In 2015, Mercedes opened a new chapter in the luxury class with the Mercedes Maybach sub-brand. Since then, over 15,000 Mercedes-Maybachs have been produced– meaning one in every 10 cars sold in the S Class segment was a Mercedes-Maybach.
With the Mercedes-Maybach G Class Landaulet, the marque now extends the Mercedes-Maybach portfolio to include the world’s most iconic and prestigious off-roader.
