MOTORING NEWS - A car enthusiast from the Russian city of Novosibirsk teamed up with a local ice sculptor to create a unique Mercedes G-Class SUV using blocks of ice mounted on a metal chassis and powered by an old engine.
Vladislav Barashenkov of Garage 54, which is popular on YouTube for featuring special collections of cars, recently showed this outrageously cool car.
The city of Novosibirsk being in central Russia, Barashenkov decided to take advantage of the winter ice and create his own unique version of this off-roader.
He started working on the car at the end of December last year and finished it late in January.
Barashenkov wanted it to be more than just a cool-looking ice sculpture, so he had the sculptor create the body out of ice, which he then mounted on the chassis of an old UAZ 469 military utility vehicle with standard car parts.
That made the ice SUV driveable, although riding in it would not be as smooth as a real G-Class.
