Question G55 Cabrio or SWB?

Is it possible to order a G55 cabrio or short-wheel base version in Europe?

Thanks

Sure it does

Hi Saif,

In Dubai you can order a coupe or convertible G55 as a special order from AMG. Heck, you can order a longer G55L, or any custom mod you want...but for all of these you'll pay a premium over the standard G55 LWB that dealers in Europe/US/Middle East carry.

I saw a brand new G500 convertible yesterday at Gargash and was tempted, but it was already sold.

Anyone have pics of the G-wagon cab, LWB or anything not available in the states? Just to satisfy my curiosity...

Take a look at MB Germany site

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars/g_cabrio/photo1.htm

These are pictures of the G320 Cabriolet. There is also a G500 cab (looks about the same but with 18" wheels), and you can custom order a G55 AMG Cabriolet as well.

If you wait a few weeks, they will be able to order you a G55 Kompressor (500 HP), but it is only available as long wheel base. Gargash doesn't have pricing yet, but they think it will be more than Dhs. 400,000.
