While in this country only the luxury variant W463 or W464 of the Mercedes G-Class can be found, in other countries there is still the G-Class Military specification the series W461. And that has remained almost unchanged since 1992. But that's changing now, because Mercedes-Benz presented a new military G for Europe in Graz. And one "Special-Ops" G-Class of the W464 series, which will soon be available exclusively for government agencies and the military "for rescue and special operations" Will be available.
the W461 will continue to be built
At the same time, the W461 will continue to be manufactured. The shown G from Graz (a G 350 d W 464) presents the most extensive “model upgrade” in the history of the military G model for 20 years. A new three-liter in-line six-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 249 hp and 600 Nm torque is installed and there is also a state-of-the-art 9-speed automatic which is operated using a selector lever on the steering wheel.
