Dubai's M Monogram Atelier has pulled the wraps off the first of just 50 bespoke G-Class builds, and it goes by the name G 3.0 Iconic. Working under the MetaGarage customisation banner, the atelier says the whole point is to take a shape everyone knows and give it a personality nobody expects.This debut car is number one of the 50 planned for the world, and it's no parts-bin special. Bodywork, cabin and trim were dreamt up as one flowing composition, tuned to each owner's taste while still flying the atelier's own flag.
The stance is the first thing that grabs you. Wider, longer bodywork, chunky wheel-arch extensions, sculpted running boards and beefed-up door hinges give the side view real presence. Gloss-black tops meet satin-black lowers, and a fine contrasting line slices along the flank to tie front to rear in one clean sweep. Decorative side gills wear the M Monogram badge, while the oversized grille tips its hat to 1960s design and gives the nose a face you won't forget.

Up front, three-pointed light modules with built-in indicators add sparkle, and twin strobe-light sections frame the front roofline. The front splitter, rear diffuser and roof spoiler speak the same design language, and the car rolls on 24-inch multi-piece forged aluminium wheels with six sculpted spokes, a radial insert and a monogram centre cap.
Slide inside and it's a warm cocoon of Cognac Héritage Nappa leather laced with black accents. An analogue clock keeps quiet watch over the dashboard, while rear passengers lounge in sculpted seats with vertical contours and fine stitching, tray tables and cup holders included. Perforated leather meets a headliner patterned with stylised stars and a bold ICONIC inscription.
Your dream car – make it happen with the best finance deal
The cognac mood carries through to the luggage compartment's side panels and cover, and the rear door mixes a weave-textured insert with a monogrammed centre panel. The project name and the car's build number ride along inside too.
Three flavours let buyers make it their own. Black brings a dark grille and wheels against bright accents, Silver goes crisp with silver-toned grille and wheels, and Gold sprinkles gold across the grille, body line and wheels. Colours, finishes and decorative details are picked individually, with the final spec signed off car by car.
