What you see here is an ageing Austrian behemoth. And Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ah, that joke will never get old. Of course, some of you are likely thinking, But the Gelandewagen is German, isn"t it?" Well, not really the G-wagen has always been built in Graz, Austria. And this particular one has had even more Austrian involvement from Mr Muscle himself, and a battery company from his homeland by the name of Kreisel.With more than 480bhp on tap, the electrified G can sprint from 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds. And that"s pretty brisk for something with such a heavy, blocky body. Kreisel says the E-G-wagen (our name, not theirs) can do more than 180 miles on a single charge presumably, if you don"t do too many 0-62mph runs and can be recharged to 80 per cent in 25 minutes, if you have access to a 150kW mains supply. And it seems no less capable off-road than the original, either, driving up a ski slope in Kitzb hel to meet Mr Schwarzenegger at the top. Want one?
