Mercedes-Benz G-Class Looks Back at Its Military Origins with New Green Paint in Spy Shots

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class appears to be looking back at its military origins in the new spy shots. Recently, the rugged version of the iconic SUV believed to be the new 4×4 Squared version was seen on the road wearing army green paint. The successor of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 4×42 has been making its rounds since last year. But since then, it seems like its maker doesn’t look too bothered to hide it in full camouflage. The new spy photos of the auto from Motor1 are also devoid of the traditional zebra wraps usually found in the three-pointed star marque’s prototypes.

LAPV Version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Spied

Can military vehicles be any cooler than this? Recent spy shots revealed that Mercedes-Benz is working on a new version of its G-Class-based Light Armored Patrol Vehicle, or the LAPV. These vehicles are especially developed for military use, so its major features would remain to be an upgraded armor protection and boosted suspension system, among other things, of course. The last LAPV, called the LAPV 5.4, was introduced back in 2008. Since then, the company has been silent about any plans to upgrade the LAPV. That ends now, of course. Its newest successor has recently been spotted going through a cold-weather testing near the Arctic Circle. That’s a welcome scene for… Continue Reading »
