The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a true icon among off-road vehicles, but even such legends can become a source for unexpected experiments. A grandiose rendering of a concept called the GVagen has appeared on the Internet, which turns the Gelendvagen... into a full-fledged off-road minivan.
The author of this unusual visual project is an independent designer, and the post on Instagram was shared by the founder of the TopCar tuning studio, who is well-known among fans of exclusive cars. It is from there that the image gained popularity.
The GVagen looks as if it was created for long off-road trips - with a brutal, square appearance, large wheels, widened arches and significant ground clearance. The design harmoniously combines the features of the classic G-Class and a modern expedition van.
The shape of the body hints at a spacious interior, which in reality could be equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable long stay on the road. Despite its impressive appearance, the GVagen is still only a concept in a rendering format.
There are no official plans for the implementation of this project. However, the idea looks quite attractive: at a time when the demand for campers, expedition vans and “mobile homes“ is growing, the appearance of such an unusual G-Class could interest a certain niche of customers – especially those who find the usual V-classes too boring.
GWagen, of course, is a funny name, but the likelihood of it materializing does not seem fantastic at all. There are already examples in the world of radically transforming the G-class into pickup trucks, convertibles and six-wheeled cars - so why not try to make it a minivan too?
Who knows, maybe soon one of the custom design studios or a travel enthusiast will dare to transfer this project from the digital plane to real roads.
