Mercedes-Benz and fashion brand Moncler are partnering on a new brand campaign. What got our attention, though, wasn’t the clothes. It was a new 90s-inspired G-Class co-designed with Bathing Ape founder and designer Nigo.

The Art Car Is Much More Restrained This Time Around
It’s not the first G-Wagon collab between Moncler and Merc, nor is it the only unique G-wagon you can buy, but it’s certainly a better one than the last. You might recall the Project Mondo G from February 2023 that put giant wheels meant to look like a Moncler puffer jacket on the G and did a similarly strange treatment to the top of the cab.
There will be an art piece again. It’s based around a classic G-Glass cabriolet model, painted in olive green and grey. The transition happens in a diagonal line that matches up with the A-pillar. The fabric top typical of the older G models has been replaced with a removable puffer jacket-looking piece.

Inside the cab, the usual Mercedes upholstery has been replaced with a blue and black plaid checkered design covering the seats and the rear. Audio engineer Devon Turnbull has added a sound system with 90s boombox flair to complement the rest of the G’s look back at that decade. The roof, speakers, and system can all be removed.
The look is finished up with gold and orange accents including a fuel can on the tail. They’re meant to be a visual connection to the fashion collection.
Project G-Class Past II Future Is Actually For Sale
It’s much more restrained than the Mondo G, but even better: this time, there is also an actual driveable car. Mercedes will sell 20 of the G-Class Past II Future models inspired by the art piece.
“For me, the 90s were among the most influential decades from a cultural and creative standpoint. Electronic music and the hip-hop scene arose as a new expression of urban character. I wanted to integrate that vibe and energy into the design of the Project G-Class Past II Future by interpreting that legacy for a new contemporary era.” -Fashion designer, music produce,r and creative director, Nigo
The Limited Edition G-Class models start with a two-tone green and gray paint job that matches the art car. Like on that special car, the green-to-gray transition happens in a diagonal line that matches the G-Class’s A-Pillar.

There’s no need to bleach your eyeballs when they’ve already been seared.
On the inside, green and black plaid checkered fabric covers the seat back and cushion. The retro cabin is a stark contrast to the very modern Benz interior, which is finished in black and a similar deep green shade of hide. Other changes include black finishes on the window surrounds and bumpers and Past II Future lettering on the side bumper guards and the dashboard grab handle.
The 20 production Mercedes-Benz G-Class Past II Future models are based on the new G 450d and the 2025 G 550. The former has a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six with 367 horsepower. The latter has a 443-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo gas inline-six. Mercedes-Benz did not announce pricing for the special G, but said that customers would get their vehicles in April 2025.
