Its initial variants (G-1 to G-4) differed from the Bf 109F only in minor details, primarily the more powerful 1,475 hp DB 605 engine. Odd-numbered variants were built with a pressurized cockpit as high-altitude fighters, while even-numbered variants were built as air superiority fighters and fighter-bombers without a pressurized cockpit.
There were also variants for long-range photo reconnaissance.
The later G series (G-5 to G-14) was produced in a variety of variants.
In early 1944, tactical requirements led to the aircraft being fitted with an MW-50 water injection system and high-performance superchargers, increasing engine power to 1,800–2,000 hp.
