In the automotive world, we are increasingly moving towards smaller, more efficient engines, which means we have to say goodbye to some iconic powertrains. One such is the Mercedes V8 that powered the G500 for a long time. We will see him for the last time in a special edition called the Final Edition.
In a world where engine sizes are shrinking, Mercedes-Benz The G500 V8 is preparing to say goodbye. This special edition, called Mercedes G500 V8 Final Edition, is the final tribute to the eight-cylinder engine that powered the G500 for many years. From 2024 onwards, the G500 will be powered by a smaller but equally powerful six-cylinder engine.
Mercedes G500 V8 Final Edition is a real palette of colors, as it is available in three different shades: Obsidian Black, Opalith White Magno and Olive Magno. Each color is limited to 500 units, underscoring the exclusivity of this edition.
When you step inside this special model Mercedes G500 V8 Final Edition, you will feel the luxury at every step. Almost every surface is covered in Nappa leather, including the cargo area and the seat adjustment panel. To further sweeten the offer, Mercedes adds a Burmester surround sound system, two-tone seats and a leather headliner.
There are no changes under the hood, as the twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V8 continues to produce 416 horsepower (310 kilowatts) and 610 newton meters (449 pound-feet) of torque. Mercedes will produce these last units of the V8 G500 from September to March 2024.
As the saying goes, all good things come to an end. And so it is with the eight-cylinder in the Mercedes G500. But as always, when one door closes, another opens. This opens the door to a more sustainable future with smaller, more efficient engines and electric vehicles.
Finally, as the legendary automotive journalist would say Jeremy Clarkson, "In the world of cars, power is nothing without control." And the Mercedes G500 V8 Final Edition is proof that Mercedes has always been able to combine power and control in one package. Now we look forward to what the future holds.
