All-electric G580's party trick much easier on the eye than that of Australian Olympic flop.The 2024 Paris Olympics will always be remembered for the glorious failure of Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn. The spectacular party trick on offer in the new Mercedes-Benz G580 is a painful reminder for the disgraced Aussie that even a car can be more gracious than her on the dancefloor.
Mercedes-Benz South Africa on Tuesday gave the local media a glimpse of the first-ever all-electric G-Wagon. And this includes the unique feature of the SUV being able to turn around 360 degrees in one spot.“Its a nifty little party trick, but a very functional feature,” says Clinton Weston, leading instructor AMG Driving Experience.
“When you fins yourself in a very tight situation in rough conditions, this feature can help you find another way out. It’s incredible how the car can achieve this through brake pressure.”Weston explains that the procedure is as easy as pie and requires only the activation of the “G-turn” button on the steering wheel, holding down the paddle shifters on the steering wheel and applying pressure on the accelerator.in the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600.
