200 units of the G-class Edition 550 will come to the U.S., offering three color options that contrast with black bumpers and fender flares.

- Mercedes is introducing a new special-edition version of the G-wagen called the Edition 550.
- It comes in either red, grey, or white and has black bumpers and fender flares, along with a special badge.
- The interior has fancier leather and carbon-fiber trim.
The G-wagen briefly exited Mercedes-Benz’s lineup along with most of the automaker’s other V-8–powered models, but now it’s back and has added an exclusive special edition. 200 units of the G-class Edition 550 will make their way to the U.S. and feature a few appearance tweaks inside and out along with special badging.

The Edition 550 models are based on the non-AMG G550 model with a 416-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, rather than the more powerful 577-hp AMG G63. It will be offered in either Jupiter Red, Arabian Grey, or a new hue called Moonlight White. Rather than the standard model’s body-color bumpers and fender flares, the Edition 550 has black lower trim. The wheels appear to be the same black 20-inch AMG 14-spoke wheels that are available as an option on the standard model.

The interior has two-tone Nappa leather upholstery, carbon-fiber trim, and options including massaging front seats. There’s also a badge on the passenger’s side grab handle denoting the special-edition as 1 of 200, and a similar emblem on the front fenders with a cool graphic of a G-wagen climbing a mountain.
Mercedes has not yet released a price for the Edition 550, but we reckon it will be at least $150,000 given the price of an equivalent G550 with these appearance upgrades.
