The G650 Landaulet is a combination of the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² and the G650 getting the former’s off-road prowess including portal axles and the latter’s V12 engine. The Landaulet moniker is reserved for ultra-luxurious vehicles that have soft tops over the rear passengers’ heads.
Here is some footage of this €500 000 (roughly R7-million) vehicle that was filmed on a game farm, right here in South Africa and uploaded to Youtube yesterday. The Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will officially debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
Just a couple of the vehicle’s features include the soft top as well a the glass partition (separating the front from the rear passenger area ) that are both also electrically operated and the glass can switched from opaque to transparent and vice versa at the press of a button.
