Den korte tredørs utgaven av Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen skal gå ut av produksjon. I den anledning lanserer MB en spesialutgave kalt "BA3 Final Edition". Varianten med lang akselavstand og fem dører får også en spesialutgave i samme anledning, denne kalt "Edition Select". Oppgraderingene går stort sett på glitter og stas. Pressemeldingen sier ellers ingen ting om dette berører 461-karosseriet også.

Special G-Class models "BA3 Final Edition" and "Edition Select":
Monumental off-roader with shining stainless steel and chrome
May 04, 2011
Stuttgart – Mercedes-Benz is ushering in the spring with two new, luxuriously equipped special models in the G-Class. Among other enhancements, an extensive stainless steel package and mounted AMG features ensure a visually striking appearance for the "BA3 Final Edition" based on the short-wheelbase Station Wagon and the "Edition Select" with a long wheelbase. In the interior a Chrome package and many more comfort-enhancing extras dominate the ambience of this classic, which has continued to enjoy the affection of off-roader fans worldwide for no less than 32 years.
A classic off-roader is entering its final phase: as the model designation suggests, Mercedes-Benz is producing the last edition of the short wheelbase Station Wagon in the successful G-Class with the special "BA3 Final Edition" model. Two variants will be available: in the G 350 BlueTEC a 6-cylinder diesel engine with the very latest BlueTEC emissions control, 155 kW (211 hp) and 540 newton metres for great pulling power both on and off the road. In the G 500 a powerful 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine with 285 kW (388 hp) and 530 newton metres effortlessly performs the same function.
