LEGO launches a 2,891-piece set to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Mercedes G-Class

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the iconic Mercedes G-Class, Lego has released an impressive 2,891-piece set as part of its Technic line, which specialises in model recreations. This model, now available for 230.99 euros, offers a detailed and functional building experience, faithfully capturing the robust, boxy essence of the classic German off-roader.

Lego’s new Technic set is a faithful tribute to the Mercedes G-Class. Builders will find a flat-sided body, flared wheel arches, solid bumpers and a spare wheel mount. It also features a ladder and a roof rack, showing LEGO’s attention to detail.

Realistic features of the set

LEGO always includes some realistic feature to maximise the building experience. This time they have added mechanical functions such as an “operational” inline six-cylinder engine and a gearbox with settings for forward, neutral and reverse. It also has two locking differentials and a functional steering system. The doors, bonnet and tailgate are fully operational, allowing builders to interact with the model in a variety of ways.

Dimensions and availability

With dimensions of 43 cm long, 20 cm wide and 22 cm high, this set offers a considerably detailed replica of the Mercedes G-Class. According to Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes, the set is now available for purchase worldwide, allowing Lego and motoring enthusiasts to acquire this collectable piece.

Budget-friendly alternatives

For those on a tighter budget, Lego also offers a Speed Champions kit that includes a G63 and an SL63, made up of 808 pieces and priced at 44.99 euros. This set, which is more suitable for children, features a G63 that measures just 18 cm long, providing an accessible and fun option for young builders.
