The material of the new premium SUV body was larch
On the YouTube channel «Garage 54» A video has appeared of converting a Mercedes-Benz G-Class with a V8 engine into the same car, but with a wooden body. The project required about 25 square meters of larch plank.
It is not reported how long it took to create the wooden “Gelika”, but the body was assembled in full size. Many small details such as moldings and characteristic turn signals have been reproduced. Naturally, the signature star for the radiator grille was cut out of wood.
What units are under the hood – unknown, but the car drives on its own, but they did not convert the interior into a wooden one.
