Mercedes G4. In the 30s of the last century, Mercedes also started thinking about six-wheeled cars. The main crown of development was the G4 model. This car featured an extremely complex all-wheel drive system, which is why its top speed was limited to 67 km/h. But the Merc had enormous potential - under the hood there was an 8-cylinder 5.4-liter engine. But the focus, of course, was not on speed, but on cross-country ability. And G4 was fine with it. A special role in this was played by self-locking differentials used in the rear axles. And to make them more useful, the factory instructions recommended slightly “playing” with the handbrake.

It was a rugged off-road vehicle designed for military use. The Mercedes G4 was first produced in 1934 as a staff/command car for the Wehrmacht, the German military. It was a three-axle vehicle with a 6x4 wheel drive configuration, which gave it excellent off-road capability.

It was powered by a powerful 8-cylinder engine. The G4 was powered by a Daimler-Benz M24 5.4-liter 8-cylinder engine that produced 115 horsepower. This gave the vehicle a top speed of 85 km/h (53 mph), which was impressive for an off-road vehicle in the 1930s.

It was a luxury vehicle for its time. Despite its military origins, the G4 was a luxurious vehicle for its time. It had a spacious interior with leather seats, a folding roof, and a heater. It also had a number of advanced features for its time, such as a power steering and a radio.

It was used by some of the most powerful men in the world. The G4 was used by a number of high-ranking Nazi officials, including Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, and Heinrich Himmler. It was also used by other leaders during World War II, such as Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco.

It is a rare and valuable vehicle today. Only about 57 G4s were ever produced, and only a few still exist today. These vehicles are highly sought-after by collectors and can fetch millions of dollars at auction.

The Mercedes-Benz W31 typ G4 was a German three-axle off-road vehicle first produced by Mercedes-Benz as a staff/command car for the Wehrmacht in 1934. The cars were designed as a seven-seater touring car or closed saloon and were mainly used by upper echelons of the Nazi regime in parades and inspections as they were deemed too expensive for general Army use.

Here are some additional interesting facts about the Mercedes G4:

• The G4 was the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to use a four-wheel drive system.
• The G4 was equipped with a number of safety features, such as seat belts and shatterproof glass.
• The G4 was designed to be easily convertible, so that it could be used as an open-top vehicle or a closed-top vehicle.
• The G4 was used in a number of films, including "The Dirty Dozen" and "Inglourious Basterds".
