spotted this (Not an E class)

Ok it's not An E-class, but this is the only forum where i post and also did not see any threads where you can put this stuff. ;-)
I was cycling the Mont Ventoux yesterday and ran into this in Malaucéne .
They panicked a bit when i took the picture and immediately covered up the dashboard
they told me the outside was not such a big deal, but the dash was "top secret"
they were there to test the car in he mountains .
Always love seeing these test cars . it's funny how the camouflage them, including fake rear lights
No idea what model this is, but the engine sounded like a diesel, which surprised me .

Maybe the diesel sound was also a camouflage of sorts?

I’m guessing it’s the next GLC, they would be testing that out and about now that the C class has been released.
