It appears we’re on a bit of a G-Wagen kick here at MBWorld, as once again I’m bringing you a wonderful piece of Gelandewagen glory from the annals of the interwebs. Today’s wonderful morsel comes again from, you guessed it, Russia.
I’m not sure how this video hasn’t won “sketchiest tug of war ever,” but it really should. Here we have what appears to be a normal day in some former Eastern Bloc country, where some of the locals decided to see which had more power, a G-Wagen or a tractor.
How many G-Wagens can you fit into Monaco? That may sound like the beginning of a very dirty joke, but in this instance, I’m genuinely asking because there are, like, a million in this video.
Purists of the iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will always yearn for the boxy, militaristic style that made the truck the icon that it is, and Daimler’s boss is aware of this.
In addition to four-wheelin’, did you know the G-Wagen is great for two-wheelin’, too? Scary, you say? Not at all. Just look at how much fun these guys are having by getting a G-Class on two wheels.
The rugged G-Wagen just turned 35 years old, and it doesn’t look a day over 50. For its birthday, however, Mercedes has cooked up a limited batch called the “35 Edition”.
Multiple sources report Mercedes has a baby version of the G-Class in the works to satisfy the pent-up demand that surrounds the G for those who just can’t afford the big version.
