NestIt happens all too often that Mercedes-Benz CEO Olou Källenius himself gets behind the wheel of a new model and shows it off to fans of the brand in person. However, Olou made an exception for the new electric G model and, together with Mercedes chief engineer Fabian Schossau, drove presenter Sarah Harman in the new electric G model and answered her, as a big fan of the G model, the question of whether the electric G model is a real G model. You can see the answer for yourself and believe me, it also includes the most interesting new feature of the electric version, the ability to rotate the car 360 degrees around its axis.

Somehow I never understood the obsession with getting a Géčko for shopping in the city. I had the opportunity to ride in it several times and listen to the car's ills directly from its owner, and somehow I see no point in it other than flexing in front of people. 🤷🏻♂️
More than anything else, let's go SuperB is about flexing and lengthening the udicle..
🤣🤣🤣 so this is envy
What??? So, if someone wants to drive their family in anything safer than a Škoda, are they fooling around? Interesting... and if it's not about family, have you ever been to a mountain pass in the Alps or in Romania? If so, then honestly, you'll probably agree with me that it's a bit more fun with the 488 GTB than with the Škoda...
Like this... clearly, Géčko sport has added values, but in the environment for which it was made. That is, field and mountain roads, large ascents/descents, wading through water, crossing rocks, etc. Then its stiffness, durability and driving characteristics stand out.
In the same way, the 488 GTB is not a daily car and it has its advantages elsewhere than going shopping with it. Unfortunately, most of the Géček from Pařížská in Prague never see gravel, let alone some stones and roots on a forest path. In contrast, most 488 GTBs get a look at the circuit from time to time.
You don't care, you don't buy
don't philosophize, don't talk...
Well, Jarys is the only one here 100% I know that Géček can buy 10 of those and he definitely doesn't have a cheaper car than that Géček :)
Well, that's not entirely true. The Géčko is very specific in its impracticality for use in normal operation and in normal life. Combined with that price tag, it's really just a flex car for the average mortal and has no other added value that a car in a fifth of the price range wouldn't provide just as well or better.
Not all the things with which a person makes himself happy must give meaning to other people... but it's simply about making yourself happy and it doesn't have to seem practical, meaningful, etc...
The most important thing is to convince the wife that a man just needs to give himself pleasure... when it works, the opinions of others are irrelevant and how much money it costs is no longer important at all
I know something about that ... ;) ... I also occasionally give myself impractical pleasure
You're right. I absolutely agree.
However, as I wrote above, in this case even the owner of the Géček was not satisfied in the final, and in fact, the car for normal driving made him more nervous than happy when, for example, for the third time in one year, he had to change the front window broken by the rubble due to the terrible aerodynamics of the body during driving on the highway (and this is only one problem of the car out of many, in normal traffic).
So yeah, it looks stylish, it has a nice sound, but I wouldn't want it as a daily car and in this price tag. Anyway, if it makes someone happy - I don't understand - but I wish it very much 🍀😉👍
