The timeless design and superior handling on arduous terrains of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class have made it a favorite among enthusiasts – and its classic shape and prestige have done the same for celebrities.

Road Show International refers to the paint scheme as Desert Storm Satin.

For the interior of this previous-gen Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a combination of black and red leather, with diamond stitching, has been chosen. The premium material can be seen on the seats, door panels and floor mats, and has made the cabin “nothing short of supreme”, according to the tuner.
