The Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4 Squared, which was revealed online a little while ago, has now gone on display at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

As we’ve mentioned before, it’s powered by a V8 engine with 310kW on tap, and it rides on large 22-inch off-road tyres.

We now also know that the G500 has a 1000mm wading depth, an approach angle of 52 degrees and a departure angle of 54 degrees.

Production of the vehicle hasn’t been confirmed apparently. Mercedes-Benz says it will make a decision based on feedback, but it also says that the vehicle on the Geneva stand is  a “near-series show car”.

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
