In July 2024, Lego released the exquisite 3 893-piece McLaren P1-inspired Technic kit. However, Lego isn’t stopping introducing meticulously detailed sets, replete with working functions, inspired by iconic vehicles to its Technic catalogue. Indeed, Lego has now revealed a brand-new model celebrating 45 years of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Designed for Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts aged 18 and up, this box-fresh Lego Technic set comprises 2 891 pieces, each of which are assembled to create an authentic recreation of the G 500 Professional Line. Adding to the model’s authenticity, just like the recently-released, McLaren P1 model, the G 500 replica features a variety of working functions. This includes steering, a gearbox with three settings (drive, neutral and reverse), a duo of differential locks, raised suspension, and a Lego-reimagined six-cylinder engine, the latter of which is revealed when lifting up the bonnet. The doors and tailgate can also be opened to provide you with a glance of the detailed interior.
