What Does the G Wagen Convertible Look Like?
The G Wagen Convertible has a unique design, with a soft top that folds in a few spots and rests in the cargo area. The car features LED ambient lighting that runs the perimeter of the roof opening inside the cabin, giving it a distinctive look. The convertible top is electrically operated, and it is expected to be completely automatic, although it may require the car to be stopped to move.
The car pictured has the least amount of camo covering it yet, and it is painted in what looks like China Blue outside of the camouflaged areas. It also wears some nice, polished AMG wheels.
What Powertrain Will the G Wagen Convertible Have?
The G Wagen Convertible is expected to be offered with the G63’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 powertrain. This is evident from the AMG G63 front end design, which is visible in the photos and videos released by Mercedes-Benz. The customary side pipes are also present, and the V-8 rumble in the videos is convincing enough.
How Does the Convertible Top Work?
The convertible top folds in a few spots and rests in the cargo area at about the same height as the top of the rear spare tire. It is electrically operated, and it is expected to be completely automatic, although it may require the car to be stopped to move.
The top itself is certainly different from past convertible G-Wagens, as this one shares the four doors common to the modern hardtop G. Previously, there were two latches that required manual operation on the convertible G.
What’s Next for the G Wagen Convertible?
A full reveal is expected soon, as Mercedes-Benz says, “stay tuned for more.” The company has not released any official information about the car’s specifications, pricing, or availability, but it is expected to be revealed in the coming months.
