500,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class / Graz, Austria

500,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class model 

If you ask a child to draw a car, it often resembles a G-Class. It’s a classic, a legend.

We had the incredible experience of shooting the 500,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class alongside its iconic 1986 brother under the scorching Austrian sun. After our shoot, this milestone vehicle made its way to the Mercedes-Benz museum. 

Mercedes-Benz says, “The G-Class has been writing its own success story since 1979. Now, number 500,000 of this off-road icon has left the production line in Graz, Austria. It’s a figure that at the same time underscores its exclusivity as it took more than four decades to reach this important milestone. The commemorative one-off takes us back to its roots – with vintage looks evocative of the 280 ge from one of the very first model years.”
