Mercedes-Benz is once again emphasising its role as a trend-setter among premium-class automotive brands with the Vision GST - a design study for a radically new vehicle concept closely focused on the needs and wishes of people of today.The letters GST stand for "Grand Sports Tourer" - an interesting vehicle category which combines features of a number of established automotive concepts to create a new and distinctive format. Vision GST is a touring saloon, estate, people carrier and sport utility vehicle (SUV) rolled into one. Above all, the Mercedes study is a vehicle which lends unprecedented excitement and new meaning to the concept of long-distance driving pleasure.

"This concept vehicle is a response to the frequent calls from our customers for a vehicle for all occasions which is superbly styled, exciting to drive and engineered to the highest standards - a car which offers plenty of room for family and leisure outings, for touring and for professional use but at the same time combines this with superb handling and performance. Mercedes-Benz has defined a new market segment with the Vision GST - a segment with huge potential for the future," comments Professor Jürgen Hubbert, the Member of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG responsible for Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars and smart.
