Some more W463 G-Class run-out editions

Mercedes-Benz has launched a trio of G-Class Limited Edition models in Germany. They might be the last special releases based on the current W463-generation Geländewagen, which is due to be replaced next year.

The first is the G 350 d Limited Edition. It comes with Designo Mocha Black metallic paint, titanium grey five-spoke AMG alloy wheels and privacy glass. An electric sunroof plus the exterior Chrome and Stainless Steel packages are part of the specification too.

Inside, there's Saddle Brown Designo Nappa leather, a two-tone dashboard and piano black trim pieces. A Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround-sound system, the Exclusive package, Blind Spot Assist and the Parking package are among the other standard-fit items.

Thanks to an Off-road package, a steel front bumper, protective grilles for the front indicators and a roof rack, the G 350 d Professional Limited Edition definitely has a purposeful appearance.

This variant also features heated front seats, an auxiliary heater with remote control, a heated windscreen and satellite navigation. China Blue paintwork and retro-inspired check fabric upholstery comprise its colour scheme.

Finally, the G 500 Limited Edition has a Designo Platinum Magno finish, privacy glass and the Sports package.

Black Designo Nappa leather with contrasting white stitching, piano black lacquer trim, the Chrome package and the Exclusive package embellish the interior. A generous equipment list includes an auxiliary heater, Active Distance Assist Distronic, Blind Spot Assist, the Parking package, a Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio system and a TV tuner.

Every Limited Edition additionally gets an embossed motif on the central armrest that depicts a G-Class test scene. A “Schöckl proved since 1979” inscription alludes to both the vehicle's longevity and the mountain location in Austria where so many of its abilities have been honed.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
