Stuttgart. Since 1979 the #gclass has thrilled its fans with its outstanding driving characteristics and impressive off-road capabilities. Even 40 years later, this iconic off-roader from #MercedesBenz can do more than other vehicles. The #gclass has now demonstrated this yet again,with a stunt never before performed. On the 101-metre high wall of the Punta Negra dam in #argentina, the new G 350 d (combined fuel consumption: 9.8 - 9.6 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 259 - 252 g/km)[1] shows how it defies gravity. How the 2,451 kg #gclass moves along the dam wall can be seen on YouTube from March 2, 2019.

"Over 40 years the #gclass has been continuously developed further, while retaining its character and unmistakable key attributes. Its DNA is stronger than trends, defying both the passage of time and even gravity. We have dramatically demonstrated this with the drive, where the #gclass moves along a dam wall above the abyss," says Dr. Gunnar Güthenke, Head of the Off-Road Product Group at #MercedesBenz.

In addition to the main film of the stunt, photos showing the making-of this campaign can be seen on Mercedes-Benz YouTube from 8 March 2019. They document the background and stages of the stunt, and show that it is not a computer simulation, but happened for real. Interested parties and fans of the #gclass can view four short videos on Instagram Stories: "Arrival", "Construction", "Stunt" and "Interviews" record the different stages in the stunt.

With the "Stronger than Gravity" campaign, #MercedesBenz immerses customers and fans in an extreme environment for the iconic off-roader, demonstrating why the #gclass has been fascinating people throughout the world for 40 years. The aim of the campaign is to sharpen the profile of the #gclass among the key target groups: powerful, self-assured and superior.
