Mercedes in resin

Preparing for the presentation of the 2019 G-Class SUV model at the Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz decided to impress the audience by making an extremely unexpected dedication to the film "Jurassic Park".

The company decided to turn the model GE GE 1979 into a fossil by immersing the car in a block of synthetic resin of amber color. The block weighs 44.4 tons.

"The amber cube contains the uniqueness of the G-class," says Dr. Gunnar Gütienke, head of the SUV department at Mercedes-Benz. - Our iconic SUV has evolved over nearly 40 years, but has not lost its main features and basic values. His DNA is stronger than time and any fashionable trend, which symbolizes this cube. "

The construction of the facility took 90 days, and now its height exceeds 3 meters.
