Expedition Motor Company Unveils 1993 250GD Sahara Wolf

Expedition Motor Company presents the brand-new Sahara Wolf, built off of a 1993 250GD originally used by the military.

“For this Sahara Wolf, we went back to the roots of the Geländewagen and the extensive testing those prototype vehicles underwent in the dunes of the Sahara Desert,” said Alex Levin, founder of Expedition Motor Company. “In addition to that same reliability and off-road prowess inherent in the original prototype vehicles, EMC has implemented an array of in-house developed components to modernize the ride quality and driving experience.”

 EMC’s reimagined 1993 250GD Sahara Wolf retains the OM602 2.5L 5-cylinder diesel engine paired with a completely rebuilt Mercedes 711.117 5-speed manual transmission. Each EMC Wolf undergoes a 100-point restoration to ensure dependable performance from their builds. From anti-corrosive treatments to incorporating a proprietary suspension system, no detail is too small.

Designed as a convertible with a soft top included at purchase, EMC’s Sahara Wolf can thrive in any weather conditions. Other noteworthy exterior additions include a custom-built EMC Bullbar, 3-inch LED Pod Lights for enhanced visibility off-road, a Warn Winch, and an EMC Snorkel Kit. 

Inside, EMC paired an elephant gray colorway to contrast the Sahara Wolf’s sand-like exterior. The New Jersey based G-Wagen specialists also added a Harman Kardon Infinity sound system, sound proofing, Wireless Apple CarPlay and a full array of creature comforts including air conditioning, heat, as well as front and rear heated seats. Priced at $180,450, the Sahara Wolf is EMC’s latest example of craftsmanship paired with an understanding of automotive design.

“There is no other vehicle on the planet that pairs military-grade performance with luxury like the G-Wagen does. After years of military service, we obtained this 1993 250GD and repurposed it into a luxurious custom-built SUV following more than 2,300 hours of restoration work,” said Levin. “EMC is able to customize these vehicles to meet customer preferences while maintaining the utmost standards for build quality.”
