Delta's Mercedes-Benz G Class "Safari"

The Mercedes-Benz G Class is one of the most modified models in the 4x4 world, but it is clear that you can always keep improving the formula. That's what Delta 4x4 seems to have thought, a German company that we've already seen not only improve models like the G Class G itself or the Suzuki Jimny, but also show a 'Safari' version of the latest Porsche 911 4S.

Now, as in the previous cases, he decided to give additional vitamins to the last Mercedes-Benz G Class to convert it into a reinforced 4x4 monster with a desire to even go to clay.

In fact, just take a look at the screenshots to see that this G Class has grown remarkably over its original version, thanks to the extra 50 mm in height obtained with a lift kit and a new Bilstein suspension that now leave a relative headroom. to the ground up to 290 mm. This growth is added to new wheel arches that are 80 mm wider to leave room for larger all-terrain tires at the customer's choice.

The possibilities start with tires measuring 285/60 in the front and 305/60 in the rear with 18-inch wheels, although 20-inch wheels can also be installed together with tires of 285/60 in the front and 305/55 in the rear, and even 23 inches measuring 305/35 and 305/40 respectively. These new 'shoes' and their higher posture allow you to considerably improve the entry and exit angles to around 35 degrees.

However, the all-terrain improvements on this model go beyond mechanics, as the Delta 4x4 also allows you to add a roof rack and a steel bumper bar to protect the front. A set of the most serious to be able to squeeze all the off-road DNA that hides inside a G Class that after so many decades still wants to move forward.
