163.756,71 euros.
That is the Price that the Mercedes G Configurator throws when we enter to select all the details of our next great electric offset.
It is, of course, the departure price. For example, if you want to add the comfort package, with systems as revolutionary as the opening of keyless doors or wireless recharge of the mobile phone for the front seats you can already add another 2,000 euros of extra.
With four small details it is easy to go above 180,000 euros. A prohibitive price for most mortals and, of course, is far from the other Mercedes Class G Electric that you can find in the market.
Yes, one for which just over 20,000 euros have been paid. One that, of course, is not an electric class G but imitates it with great detail. Too bad it is a golf cart and not a car, right?
A $ 24,000 golf cart
Because this Mercedes Class G can be bought at the price of a Dacia Duster, it is to anticipate that who has been done with him has enough money to Buy a Mercedes class g of truth.
The information is brought in The Drive Those who assure that a customer has paid $ 24,000 for this golf cart converted to Mercedes G Class in miniature, sold by Mecum Auccs, specialized in the auction of all types of special vehicles.
On their website they explain that the supposed SUV is, in reality, a quadricycle (they call it golf cart) with a 10 kWh battery to cover up to 80 miles (about 120 kilometers). With a power of 15 kW (20 hp), the car is limited to 35 mph (56 km/h). That is, it is little more than in Europe we consider a light quadricycle.
In the United States, golf carts have become fashionable to do small daily errands. As with the Citroën Ami or the Fiat Topolino, they are cars that cannot circulate on a highway or highway but are allowed to go to secondary roads and are widely used by older people who do not want to go far from home.
That has promoted curious modifications such as this supposed electricity class G Class that perfectly mimics the body of the German car. Inside, the differences are more evident but has four disc brakes, assisted direction and rear camera to facilitate maneuvers.
In addition, it carries a complete multimedia environment that with a screen for each passenger in the rear seats. In front of the information is distributed in A couple of twin screens which are integrated into the same frame. Of course, although disguised, with the images we can appreciate that what will be up to this Pseudo Mercedes Mercedes Electric Class will be the sum of many hard plastics.
This imitation gives an idea that the grid market is dominated by purely practical models but that there is also a place for those who seek in them something of a fashion accessory. The mimo that Fiat has put to the design of the Topoline is a good example but also the irruption of the microlino, a reinterpretation of the BMW isetta that is sold for 19,500 euros if we talk about the light grid (it does not exceed 45 km/h) or of 22,990 euros for the heavy grid.
