Moncler and Mercedes have teamed as much as think about what a G-wagon would appear to be as a giant puffy jacket. It’s known as the Mondo G.
No, it’s not a lunar rover. However the styling is a bit out of this world. No, as an alternative it’s known as the Mondo G, and is made along with Mercedes-Benz and style firm Moncler.
Moncler is known for making huge shiny puffer jackets. And they also’ve given the identical remedy to the G-wagen. Outsized every little thing is the secret right here. And Mercedes has no drawback saying it’s artwork for the sake of artwork. Mercedes declare the “reimagined G-Class enters a brand new dimension the place earthly guidelines are distorted, and a brand new actuality is imagined via artwork and know-how.”
Whereas a bit complicated at first, it will definitely introduced us a little bit of nostalgia. It reminds us of the wild and funky early 2000’s idea vehicles which needed to comply with precisely zero guidelines. Outlandish, inventive, enjoyable, bizarre, and deep into the sci-fi craze of the early 2000’s. And the Mondao G is precisely all of these issues.
Nonetheless immediately recognizable as a G-wagon, this idea goes excessive. As an alternative of a roof and hatch, you may have a chrome coat and zipper. You even have chrome puffer fashion tires, possible meant to appear to be overland tires. Although in outer house they’d be over-crater tires? We digress.
Mercedes additionally proclaims that as manufacturers, they and Moncler “push the boundaries of their respective segments.” The G-class represents that effectively. It began out purely as a “appropriate software for the job” and over time remodeled into one thing totally different all collectively. A lot in the identical means, Moncler makes coats that act as a coat, and maintain you heat, however they, just like the G-wagon are actually extra of a standing image.
What we will anticipate, maybe, is a particular version model of the G-wagen to come back sooner or later, with a number of attention-grabbing inside trim appointments. A lot in the identical means we noticed particular version Maybach fashions not too way back. Will you ever see a Moncler G-wagen taking over the tough outside? Most likely not. A lot in the identical means you most likely gained’t discover a $2,500 Moncler jacket being worn by somebody mountaineering round Mount Baldy.
