Mercedes-AMG has released new pictures of the G-Class Cabrio, showing the model with the soft top lowered for the first time.
The SUV gets a unique spare tire cover and chunky rollover protection.
The latest pictures give us our first detailed look at the SUV with the roof lowered, revealing a folding soft top that effectively stacks on top of itself.
This design mirrors the setup used by Brabus on their ultra expensive 800 and 800 XL convertibles.
The top still manages to fit underneath the spare tire, but this design will likely limit rearward visibility.
Mercedes went with a more angular rear pillar than the tuner, which had to develop a complex retractable soft top featuring over 500 custom-made components.
The G-Class Cabrio will have a short, fixed metal roof above the front seats, accompanied by a sizable rear roll bar behind the second-row.
They could encircle part of the upper cabin, meaning the open air section could be surprisingly small.
A closer inspection reveals the third brake light has now been integrated into the spare tire cover, a welcome change from earlier prototypes.
While it remains unclear if the Cabrio will be AMG-only, it seems likely as Mercedes has referred to the model as a special edition.
This means we can expect a G63 Cabrio with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 pumping out 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque.
It enables the standard model to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds.
It is a new model, described as “unmistakably G-Class,” and the latest pictures showcase its unique design elements, including the folding soft top and chunky rollover protection.
The fact that Mercedes-AMG has chosen to integrate the third brake light into the spare tire cover suggests a focus on functional design, and this attention to detail will likely be reflected in other aspects of the vehicle.
The use of a short, fixed metal roof above the front seats, combined with the sizable rear roll bar, creates a distinctive silhouette that sets the G-Class Cabrio apart from other convertibles.
As a special edition model, the G-Class Cabrio is likely to feature a range of exclusive design elements and performance upgrades, making it a highly desirable vehicle for fans of the G-Class series.
