Mercedes’ new fashionable puffer jacket vehicle ‘can drive on the moon’

MERCEDES has collaborated with luxury fashion company Moncler to create a concept vehicle inspired by zero gravity.

The partnership, named Project Mondo G, was initially unveiled in February at The Art of Genius show during London Fashion Week in the UK.

Project Mondo G’s design fuses Mercedes-AMG’s G Wagon and Moncler’s puffer jacket, according to the manufacturer.

Mercedes notes that its off-road G Wagon’s angular design and the puffer’s soft quilted textile pattern bring out the vehicle’s proportions.

Its massive tires bounce in zero gravity atmosphere, while the gold tint in the SUV’s windows protects passengers from intense UV rays.

This concept vehicle’s rear features a zipper lock that results in astronauts bouncing out onto the moon when opened.

The zipper feature stems from the astronaut’s suits being too large to fit in a standard SUV passenger seat comfortably.

Britta Seeger, Mercedes’ head of marketing and sales, said: “We are very excited about collaborating with Moncler to create another ‘X-factor brand moment.’

“At Mercedes-Benz, we are committed to engage in culture and society.

“Our co-creation with Moncler offers an unexpected experience of both brands.

“This debut collaboration with Moncler opens new horizons and a potential of opportunities for more news to come soon.”

But footage of the vehicle recently shared on social media revealed public criticisms toward the concept.

One Instagram user commented: “Lmao, the animation [from Mercedes] showed the car being dropped with a parachute.

“The moon has no atmosphere for a parachute to work.”

Another Instagram account wrote: “Looks like someone made this in their backyard.”
