A jaw-dropping video featuring four G-Class electric vehicles flaunting their mesmerising 360-degree synchronised turns on the iconic Las Vegas strip has left X users spellbound.

What’s truly remarkable is that these vehicles achieve these mind-bending turns without even turning their wheels. Thanks to electric motors powering each wheel individually, the G-Class effortlessly rotates in a perfect circle, showcasing its cutting-edge capabilities. The captivating demonstration unfolded at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas this week.

While the exact model that pulled off this exhilarating stunt isn’t available for purchase yet, Mercedes is diligently working to bring it to the market soon. Although pricing details are still under wraps, anticipation is building for the electric G-Class EQG, expected to hit the market with a starting price tag of £100,000.

However, there’s a potential damper for UK enthusiasts eager to own one, as electric vehicles might face a price hike of £3,400 this year due to post-Brexit trade rules. Tariffs of 10% could be levied on electric car exports between the UK and the EU if at least 45% of their value doesn’t originate from either region.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) is urging the UK and the EU to consider delaying the implementation of these tariffs. The call is rooted in the fact that battery production in Europe hasn’t expanded as swiftly as anticipated, posing challenges for manufacturers to meet the specified threshold.

With nearly half (49%) of all pure battery electric vehicles purchased by UK buyers coming from the EU, the impact of these tariffs could be significant. A government spokesperson emphasised in October, “We need a joint UK-EU solution to avoid consumers facing tariffs on electric vehicles from 2024, which do not apply to petrol and diesel cars.”
