Mercedes Benz G5
El Mercedes Benz G5 fue
introducido antes que el enorme G4 de 6 ruedas y disponía de una distancia
entre ejes mucho más pequeño. Resultó ser un coche muy personalizable, cualidad
muy rara en un coche que estuvo en producción entre 1937 y 1941. Entre estas podemos
destacar que tenía dirección y tracción a las cuatro ruedas. El vehículo tenía
espacio para transportar 4 o 5 pasajeros y fueron construidos con diversos
estilos de carrocería en función de las especificaciones del
comprador.
El G5 disfrutó de
una buena popularidad recibiendo diversos sobrenombres dependiendo de las
misiones a las que se destinó. De este modo podíamos encontrar el Bergwacht
tip (para los equipos de rescate de montaña), Kolonial (coche
colonial) y Jagdwagen (vehículo para la caza). Se fabricaron varias versiones
militarizadas que disponían de una carrocería reforzada con puertas de acero
desmontables. En total se fabricaron 378 unidades.
