Lego unveils highly detailed Mercedes G‑Class technic set

Danish building toy manufacturer Lego is not slowing down and constantly surprises car enthusiasts with new offerings. Recently, we were introduced to the McLaren P1. Now, something entirely different joins the collection.

Many fans have been eagerly awaiting the iconic Mercedes G-Class. Following the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler, this is another off-road offering in the Lego range. The G-Class, affectionately called the "G-Wagen," represents the Technic series. The set, numbered 42177, consists of 2,891 pieces and impresses with its attention to detail.

It features a working steering wheel and suspension with travel worthy of a real off-roader, two differential locks, a functional gearbox, and the moving pistons of a six-cylinder engine.

The set is not cheap, but there are more expensive ones. In the Lego store, it is priced at approximately £215. It's a fair price for hours of fun and adding to a miniature car collection. Well, maybe not entirely miniature, as the Lego G-Wagen is quite large. It measures 23 cm in height, 43 cm in length, and 20 cm in width.
