Mercedes-Benz - Stronger Than Time (2018) 2:45 (Germany)

A long, long time ago, nature found a way to preserve DNA. Around 40 million years later, some engineers built a car as never before. A car with a strong DNA that lives on from generation to generation.
What follows is some seriously impressive running footage to introduce the new G-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Even more impressive though, is a 44 tonne amber-like block installation with an original 1979 G-Class inside. This exhibit was shipped from hamburg to Detroit to be shown at the North American International Auto Show to celebrate that these first Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars are still on the road today. I'm more impressed by the art installation than I am the running footage. Wish I could have seen it up close.
