Mercedes-AMG GT4 EV Spotted as Porsche Taycan Challenger

The Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4Matic+ was unveiled in February 2022 as one of the fastest cars produced by the German automaker. However, even in its most powerful form, it falls short compared to the Porsche Taycan. It appears that Mercedes-AMG is now developing a new and more extreme electric sedan to rival the Taycan. According to initial reports, it will not be called the EQE and will instead be a completely new model.

The spy photos below show what is believed to be the Mercedes-AMG GT4 EV. The final name of the production vehicle is not yet confirmed, but the project is currently referred to as C295 internally. The test prototype still retains the EQE body, but the final design is expected to be significantly different.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class Receives Camper Conversion with Off-Road Enhancements

The German company Van Sports has created a customized version of the V 250d 4Matic called the Geotrek Edition. This modified vehicle is designed to be a small camper van for traveling across Europe.

To create the Geotrek, Van Sports started with a V 250d 4Matic van that is powered by a diesel engine and has all-wheel drive. They then made several upgrades, including a lifted suspension that provides an extra 2.047 inches (52 millimeters) of ground clearance. The vehicle is also equipped with 235/55 R18 General Grabber all-terrain tires that offer better grip when driving off-road. These tires are fitted on slotted wheels with a matte bronze finish.
