"...dream car for world travelers and expedition leaders..."
To celebrate 30 years of Gelandewagen production, Mercedes is introducing a special version of the G-Class called the EDITION30.PUR.
As with so many cool off-road oriented vehicles, it appears unlikely that this vehicle will find its way to North America. Instead, we get a commemorative edition of the G500 with special wood and leather interior. Sigh...

G-Class EDITION30.PUR: Special model to mark the anniversary
The fact that the G-Class was designed for operations in the most difficult terrain right from the start is made particularly clear by the special EDITION30.PUR model, based on the G 280 CDI from the G 461 series.
This long-wheelbase Station Wagon pays homage to the first-generation G-Model. It has been optimized specifically for the toughest assignments off the beaten track, and is therefore the future dream car for world travelers, expedition leaders, confirmed fans of the "G" and customers who are in search of an automotive rarity with uncompromising reliability and the ability to go anywhere.
With the optional "Off-road package 1" or "Off-road package 2", the G EDITION30.PUR can be equipped for any eventuality with all-terrain tires in size 265/75 R 16 on aluminum wheels, flexible wheel arch flaring, protective grilles for the headlamps and lights, a walk-on bonnet for easier access to the optional roof rack, a towing lug at the front and a two-section rear door.
In the interior there are four individual seats upholstered in hard-wearing fabric or man-made leather, rubber floor coverings in the passenger compartment, spray-protected controls and drainage apertures in the footwells.
A load compartment with a wooden floor, load lashing lugs and rails is standard, as are an auxiliary heater and manually operated air conditioning to cope with any climatic zone encountered...
In Europe, the "EDITION30.PUR" costs from 59,381 Euro incl. VAT. (about $75K in USD)
