R CLASS

In the first months of 2003, following the success of the Vision GST presented in Detroit the year before, Mercedes ordered the STELLA Vision GST second series.
Having already started the new production plant in Albama, Mercedes aimed to show the evolution of the Grand Sport Tourer, which would then be called R Class.

Given their previous experience, STOLA in agreement with Mercedes delivered the Show Car at the end of October 2003 to Sindelfingen, and in January 2004 it was presented at the Detroit show complete with photographs taken more in advance than usual ...

For the record, in 2006 the production of the R Class started in the brand new American factory in Vance and was also the last show car created for Mercedes that was followed by the Stola family.
