Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept Car

Mercedes-Benz will reveal the Ener-G-Force concept vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
It's an imposing seven-seater dressed in highway-patrol vehicle guise, and it also provides the centerpiece for the German carmaker's entry into Los Angeles Design Challenge.
Mercedes-Benz officials won't be drawn out on specifics just yet, but highly placed sources claim the Ener-G-Force is the forerunner to a three-vehicle lineup of Land Rover-rivaling off-roaders set to join the German carmaker's portfolio in the future. They will be based around existing platforms and driveline combinations.
Intriguingly, this concept previews a long-awaited replacement for the G-class in production since 1979.
