Model history

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was originally developed in 1979 as a pure off-road vehicle – robust, angular, and uncompromisingly functional. It was created in cooperation with Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria, where it is still produced today. The G280 offered here belongs to the first generation (W460), which is considered a classic of the series. With its characteristic design, switchable all-wheel drive, and durable six-cylinder engine, this model symbolizes the origins of the G-Class. Later generations were technically refined, but visually, the original design remained virtually unchanged for decades—one reason why early W460 models are considered particularly authentic and sought-after today.
