G-Class [Spyshots] 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W464)

[SCOTT27]

Hints that they will use the G-Klasse in the new Jurassic World sequel?

 

[MAJESTIC]

That was an extremely clever way to foreshadow the G's appearance in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. I think it's a given seeing as though Mercedes had a huge spot in Jurassic World and The Lost World.

No doubt it is real aluminium, like the AMG GT. This car will be even more expensive in most configurations.

No, it won't be. As it is not in the AMG GT. Or practically in any production car. It is ALWAYS metallized plastic today. If time allows, I will share some current examples in here in the coming days.

Talk about really not wanting to rock the boat. It was expected though. Happy to see the reverse lights aren't located on or below the bumper.

OK im sold.....I love it!

Totally unchanged exteriar design except for modernization of the front and tail lights with LED's and a few slight detail changes it may pass as a face lift. Technically this will be a big change from the original model but you wouldn't know it just looking at the exteriar.

I do like it though and it's going to sell like hotcakes despite a hefty price

Mirrors do not match the rest of the car... and what is the black plastic under them?

E class mirrors?

I was hoping for a bigger update in terms of design but I understand why they didn’t do it. It’s impossible to change/revolutionize iconic design. I.e. coke bottle, Smeg, Apple, Zippo, and g class.

It is so good that it is not much changed outside.The power of the Bruno Sacco's era.

Yeah there's very little room for change if MB want to keep the unique boxy look of the G-Class.

Me too!

Was already sold when I saw the very first spy pic.
What an epic gorgeous thing.

Could have sworn it was real....

Tnx Busty, and please share those examples. Would be nice if you made a new thread!


Brilliant.

5/5

Same here. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Few had complaints about the exterior design. The handling and driving characteristics were in desperate need of modernization and the interior needed a redesign. Mercedes have delivered what's necessary and this car will be loved by both die hard G fans but also win customers who want a status symbol that's easy to drive.

Imagine if you could have a Porsche 993, Ferrari 355 or a 2012 Aston Martin Vantage with 2017 internals?

 

[Sonder]

Did nobody of you noticed the
completely rounded D-pillar?
For me the cubic looked better, because the whole car is cubic, but with that rounding they want to give a shot to the customers how the all new G will look like (some similarities with the concept)

I am very curious about the process involved in "metalizing" plastic components. It is any different from existing metal plating process?
