The Appeal
Germany’s answer to the Land Rover, the G-Wagon is a similarly robust, go-anywhere and do-anything vehicle. Likewise, in recent years it has been treated to ever more powerful engines, technologically advanced drivetrains and seriously luxurious interiors.
This striking example is fitted with a potent 5-litre V8 engine, driving all four wheels. Featuring a high specification and smart tan leather upholstery, it’s the perfect vehicle for making an impact – both on the high street and pretty much anywhere else you want to go.
