Mercedes-benz G has been manufactured in Magna Steyr since its launch in 1979, and the new generation will be no exception, but the vintage will be largely made by hand. In less than forty years, more than 300,000 specimens of the grandfather of the automotive industry have been produced, while the new G, as they say in Mercedes-Benz, remains G, but it's considerably better. However, not only materials are better ones, but also workers in the Graz factory are very experienced, some of them are already from the very beginning, so they know what is expected from class G. The top of the factory is certainly a test polygon they have it on Mount Schöckl, because it is a unique polygon in the world - one test kilometer on the polygon is counted 50 kilometers on public roads. In June, in Germany, they will demand at least 107 thousand.
