Lorinser misses open Mercedes-Benz G-class

In 2013, Mercedes-Benz said goodbye to the G-class Cabriolet with a Final Edition, the open three-door variant of the G-class that in its final phase of life was only available with a 388 hp and 530 Nm strong 5.5 V8. Numerous versions of the G-class presented in 2018 already exist, but there is only one body variant: the five-door.

Tuner Lorinser is not only concerned with tuning cars, but also with restorations and restomods and comes with a modernized version of the latest G-class Cabriolet. The company is stocking the car with parts that are available on special request. We see a G-class Cabriolet with a special honeycomb grille, a sportier-looking grille that should emphasize that behind it is a large V8. That eight-cylinder also sounds a bit more impressive, according to Lorinser, thanks to a forgiving muffler. We see modified bumper work all around and on the back we see – just like in the grille – of course the well-known Lorinser logo. The black one in the photos has a brown convertible top and stands on – yes – black, 22-inch alloy wheels. Not a fan of those black slippers? Don’t worry, Lorinser also supplies these wheels in silver.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class

With this G Cabriolet, Lorinser of course just shows what equipment it has for the old G-class. Smart marketing, but it is immediately a nice memory of the G-class Cabriolet of yesteryear, a body style that we probably will not see from the now three years young ‘G’. Incidentally, Mercedes-Maybach of the previous G-class also had a crazy Landaulet in the order books. There will be a jolly 4×4² version of the current model, which proves that the gentlemen and ladies in Stuttgart have lost little of their playfulness.
