The option for the port-axles won't be available anymore, because of the independent front suspension

It may be better ride with new independent front axles, but port axles has more advantage of higher ground clearance & better articulations, so I expect it would be coming again later as special variants.

For this MB should change the whole front underframe, which sounds impossible to me

Take a close look at the DRL. The G theme runs everywhere

It doesn't bother you the circle is broken?

I like that your can have the air vents painted in gloss black.

^ Now that i see the G, it makes sense.

 

[DjordjeC63]

^ I wonder where is rear view camera located?

Not quite true. They put them on the E-class.

I wish the new G-Class too make such remarkable drives/expditions than just sticking on to the tarmacs of US & Middle Easts.

Who are "they"? Some chop-garage working with the grinder?

^ A team headed by MB design engineer Jürgen Eberle, with the help of AMG.

Inspired by the equally extreme G500 4x4², design engineer Jürgen Eberle says the aim of the project was to find out if a similar car could be created with the G500 4x4²’s portal axles grafted on in place of the standard E-Class All-Terrain's multi-link set-up.

The project took a few months to create, with Eberle heading up a growing team as his project became more and more ambitious. What Eberle ended up with was an E-Class All-Terrain with more than double the original car’s ground clearance: 420mm, compared with the standard car’s 160mm, with a wading depth just 100mm shy of the G-Class’s 600mm. The standard All-Terrain’s wading depth is 280mm.

Arguably the focal point of the car, though, is its 20in wheels, which come from the R-Class and are shod in knobbly 285/50 R20 off-roading tyres, compared with the 19in and 245/45 R19 standard wheels and tyres. To house these, special wheel arch extenders had to be 3D printed and attached to the car, increasing its width by almost 200mm.

The standard rubber and plastic suspension bushings were replaced with Uniball motorsport bearings, while Eberle drafted in help from a friend working at AMG to modify the driveshaft geometry for compatibility with the car’s off-roading modifications.

What about the verticle panamerican grille saw in spy pic?

What about the verticle panamerican grille saw in spy pic?

Maybe autobild got it wrong?

Autobild deliberately gets at least one design aspect wrong on all their renderings (I’ve been noticing this since the 2000’s). I guess they can’t be too accurate.

Mercedes Registers G73 And S73 Among Other New Names

The company appears to have new names for many of its models.
Several trademark filings suggest that Mercedes-Benz might be considering revised model names for denoting its latest powertrains. Registrations like this always tricky to take seriously because a company can reserve a name and never use it. However, these titles fit with recent rumors about the automaker's future.


G 73
GLS 73
S 73


GLC 63
GLE 63
GLS 63


CLA 53
GLA 53
GLB 53


CLS 50

SL 50


SLC 50


A 40
CLA 40

GLB 40

Daimler, Mercedes' parent, filed for all of these trademarks in Germany on September 24, 2017, and the country's patent and trademark office published them on December 8, 2017. Auto Guide initially discovered the registrations when the automaker submitted paperwork for most of these names in Canada on January 22, 2018

Rumors indicate that the 73 moniker will be for a version of Mercedes-AMG's 4.0-liter biturbo V8 with the addition of plug-in hybrid parts that would give the vehicles in excess of 800 horsepower (597 kilowatts) and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton-meters) of torque.

Meanwhile the 63 title would reportedly be for an upgraded version of the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 developing 612 hp (456 kW).

The 53 models here present quite a mystery. The CLA, GLA, and future GLB-Class ride on Mercedes' front-wheel-drive-based platform. However, the existing vehicles with this name, e.g. the CLS53, E53 coupe, and E53 convertible, use a transversely mounted 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine with a 48-volt electrical system and small electric motor for a hybrid boost. It's unlikely this setup would fit the FWD models because they use a transverse powertrain layout. Perhaps, Mercedes has a hybrid drivetrain on the way for them.

The 40 and 50 models are a bigger mystery. The recently unveiled A-Class comes as the A 200, A 250, and A 180d, which indicates that Mercedes doesn't plan to use two-digit monikers on the hatchback, despite it having new engines.

I would say that all these are AMG models, so nothing new in the designations.
