01 The Banyan G-Class · Stuttgart, Germany

Classic G-Class.Built for a life beyond the road.

A ground-up restoration of the original G-Wagen, bringing together proven capability, tailored comfort, and the engineering discipline that made the icon endure.

Discover

Utility, refined.Character, left intact.

The G-Class was engineered as a tool before it became an icon. Its upright architecture, mechanical honesty, and extraordinary capability remain the foundation of every Banyan commission.

We renew the structure and mechanical systems, then resolve comfort and specification around how the owner intends to use it—without losing the clarity of the original design.

03 From frame to finish

Capability beginsbeneath the surface.

Every donor is fully disassembled so the body, chassis, axles, drivetrain, and corrosion protection can be addressed as one complete system—not a collection of cosmetic upgrades.

Structure

Frame inspection, corrosion remediation, body renewal, and protective finishing.

Engineering

Rebuilt mechanical systems, tuned suspension, cooling, braking, and road validation.

Choose the form.Configure the purpose.

From short-wheelbase soft tops to long-wheelbase and portal-axle builds, every program starts with the body style that fits the life ahead.

The G-Class configurators

Shape it around the life ahead.

Start with wheelbase, doors, and roof format, then define color, cabin, equipment, and capability. Your configuration gives the restoration conversation a precise starting point.

05 The road beyond the road

Made for the untamed.Resolved without compromise.

True G-Class character is measured in use. Banyan restores the strength, control, and dependability to travel well—then tailors the details around the person behind the wheel.

Rugged by design.Tailored in every detail.

Capability, comfort, and finish are developed together so the completed vehicle feels coherent wherever it is driven.
