New Electric GWagon

[lagartoboy]

Mercedes announced a new electric GWagon. With motors on all four wheels it should be very capable off-road, and it can handle a 45 degree incline. As an electric vehicle with a range less than 300 miles, it won’t be the ideal expedition vehicle, but it looks like top of class for off-road performance. Price not announced but estimated north of $150K U.S. Video below.

Yes and it has software which creates different sounds, when you're approaching the car for example to increase the "coolness factor".

If that is what the engineers take care of instead of getting the essential things right....all car manufacturers are fighting software problems, so having fancy funny sounds is what I'm looking for...

The tank turn is quite impressive. I spoke to some engineers that were involved in the drivetrain development. They were excited about torque vectoring and anti slip. It is on a whole new level with this car they say. Can't wait to test drive it in an offroad parcours.
