That car looks like it is ready to pick a fight.
If you say it runs on water, you mean like a steam engine?
Or is that old urban legend true, the one about efficient tehcnology finally found to split hydrgen from oxygen?

Alex, On the water issue - From the article in Gizmag :
"the company's North American R&D team hasn't totally abandoned the past in looking to the future however, conceiving a rugged, fuel-cell driven concept based on the G-Class that would produce its own hydrogen from water on the fly." and "The Ener-G-Force design employs four wheel-hub motors driven by fuel cells, but instead of filling up at the pump, a “hydro-tech converter” would generate fuel using recycled water stored in tanks on the roof. The energy generated by this system would be stored in "drawers" accessed through the side skirts which could alternatively house hot-swappable battery packs."
Its also got an electronic suspension system and an electric drvetrain

Cedric, Certain elements of the g-class (Gelanderwagon ?) was used in this design but I'm also not a the biggest fan of MB. Check the youtube vid posted by dieselfan - G-Wagon se gat -
