Mercedes G class W463 1998 is noted by occurrence of modernised version G500, and one year there was anniversary version G500 Classic which has been exhausted by the limited party later. From usual cars G500 Classic differs the is dark-lilac colour, capable to change the shade depending on the illumination, the bumpers painted in the same colour and cases of exterior mirrors, and also a lot of unique spare parts, such as the polished light-alloy disks of wheels, a boot of "spare wheel" from noncorrosive steel, an abundance, in an inner trim, a skin and a tree, and also heating up of a rear sofa. The exclusive off-road car in the maximum complete set has chromeplated a radiator enclosure and thresholds, and the big front turn indicators and tail lights are made by the colourless.Since December, 2000 for Mercedes a G-class the navigating system, TV and other functions united in one device are delivered spare parts, such as an innovative control system and indications COMAND, an audiosystem, СD-player. On models G 400 CDI and G 500 with engine V8 it is many function the device enters into a serial complete set. Besides, owners of a G-class have possibility to use functions of modern system GPS, such as dynamical conducting to the purpose on the basis of actual messages on position on roads, system of automatic emergency call TELEAID or system TELEDIAGNOSE. For the first time, at will, the G-class can be equipped by the innovative system of voice-activated control LINGUATRONIC steering phone and an audiosystem.
Models are issued with three variants of engines: G 320 with engine V6 capacity of 215 h.p., G 500 with engine V8 - 296 h.p., G 400 CDI with the eight-cylinder diesel engine capacity 250 h.p., equipped direct injection Common-Rail, a liquid cooler of air and two turbochargers. Engines are completed with wide spectrum Mercedes spare parts. The maximum speed of the car makes 180 km/h. More comfortable and equipped cars of type W463 equip with diesel and petrol motors a working volume of 3,0-5,4 l capacity of 177-354 h.p. and only hydromechanical 5-step "automatic machines". There was new version G400 CDI with 4.0-litre turbo-supercharging a diesel engine capacity of 250 h.p. Model 290GD TD type 461 has kept shape of 80th years, it is much cheaper and is intended for work in heavy road conditions. Except 3 and the 5-door versatile person, the passenger-and-freight van and even the chassis (under a pickup or other body) by a fully loaded mass of 4100 kg are provided. The power unit 290GD TD engages straight a 5-cylinder 2,9-litre diesel engine of direct injection of fuel capacity of 120 h.p. both hydromechanical 4-step "automatic machine" and turbo-supercharging.
The G-class is still, one of best "rascals" in the world. Unique from all off-road cars, equipped with an automatic control system of traction effort. Strong transmission with three differentials (rear, central and front which are engaged by keys on the central extension housing), blocked together and separately, allows to get out of hopeless mud and snow ambushes - while at least one wheel from four though slightly clings for any firm surface, the car will overcome. Thus Gelandewagen almost does not demand special skills of driving on impassability, in a city pleases with confident movement, and at movement on a cross-country terrain the full control over the car. The behaviour of a jeep on asphalt at the expense of a suspender of 463rd, having rigid front and rear bridges, screw springs on rubber pads, telescopic dampers and an antiroll bar on the front bridge, gives good estimations and does not allow, according to Mercedes Spare Parts, to name a Mercedes-Benz a G-class «a parquet jeep».
