The 500,000th Mercedes-Benz G-Class rolled off the production line on Thursday
at the SUV's plant in Graz, Austria.

The milestone comes 44 years after the civilian version of the G-Class made its
debut, and as a sign of the vehicle's growing popularity, the last 200,000
examples were built in just the previous six years.

To mark the milestone, the 500,000th example is a special one-off design with
elements mimicking an early G-Class, specifically a 1986 280 GE. Key retro cues
include the agave green exterior paint (one of the earliest colors available on
a G-Class), checkered fabric on the seats, and orange lenses for the indicator
lamps. The design of the steering wheel and spare wheel cover also feature
classic cues, according to Mercedes.

The G-Class, which draws its name from geländewagen, the German word for
“off-road vehicle,” was conceived as a military vehicle. However, Mercedes and
the Austrian firm Steyr-Daimler-Puch began discussions about a civilian version
of the SUV as early as 1969.

By 1972, the decision was made to develop one and in the spring of 1979 the
first civilian G-Class was launched. Steyr-Daimler-Puch was responsible for
production, right up until 2001 when the company was dissolved. However, its
vehicle manufacturing operations were taken over by Canada's Magna International
and turned into the new division Magna Steyr, which today still builds the
G-Class for Mercedes.

Over the decades, the G-Class has been updated while keeping its look and feel
unchanged—a philosophy that will be tested next year when the first electric
G-Class is launched.
