The Mercedes-Benz 250GD, also known as the "Wolf" was launched in 1990, two years before the W461 G-Wagen was officialy introduced. This diesel-powered variant was built fitting a W460 body, but a W463 chassis. These trucks were available for consumers that weren´t looking for comforts and fully equipped SUVs. The 250GD was powered by Mercedes' OM 602.930 diesel engine, which was a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline five with an output of 91hp and 114 lb⋅ft of torque, which was sent to all four wheels via a manual transmission. This variant ended production in 1991.
