Military-grade convertible: Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, the ultimate dream toy for men — still a legend

A company called Expedition Motor Company restores the 1992 Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf — a former military vehicle commonly known as the "Wolf"

In Africa, driving the 250GD across vast savannas where leopards, lions, and cheetahs roam — it's an experience that stirs the soul.

Have you ever noticed how, in many movie scenes, someone is wandering helplessly through a remote, desolate wilderness, unable to reach their destination — and suddenly, two beams of light cut through the darkness, bringing hope? The Mercedes-Benz 250GD is the perfect vehicle for such a story. Especially with those rugged, retro-cool headlights — it almost feels like you’ve just encountered a gang in the wild.

The texture and design of the front grille also instantly transport you back to that era.

"The 'little soft-top' is practically a reserved seat for African lions and leopards. Even when the vehicle is packed with people, the big cats pay no attention — their eyes are on the prey outside. They wait patiently for the perfect moment to pounce. As the vehicle moves across the savanna, it helps these hunters conserve their energy.

"Powered by the OM602 D25 engine — a 2.5L inline five-cylinder diesel — the 250GD delivers 84 horsepower and 154 Nm of peak torque. It comes paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Despite its modest figures, it still growls when driven. When it comes to nostalgia, it’s all about keeping the raw, original experience alive.

Manual window cranks — I remember a friend who paid 250,000 yuan for an old G-Wagen, all because he loved those classic hand-crank windows. Cranking them up and down had a unique charm. But later, the engine had some issues, and the cost of repairing it with original parts turned out to be even more thrilling than the window cranks themselves.

Some might ask, what if it rains? But this vehicle goes where rain rarely falls — or maybe, it drives into the rain on purpose.
