One of the most incredible opportunities of my UA-cam career to date; joining the launch of the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet; an exceptionally special vehicle that will be limited to just 99 units, in the most unbelievable location as we go on safari in South Africa!
Probably, one of the best vlogs to come out from the Shmee stable. That background music did the trick this time around! Such a beautiful country, South Africa.
It amazes me the places you get to go, and the things you get to be involved in. Its inspiring to say the least! Keep doing what you are doing, this is why you are my favorite UA-camr! Stay humble.
statesidesupercars I think they took inspiration from the Evoke convertible. I would not mind a hard top version though in a different colour just for the interior that Maybac make
Rafiul Haque Inspiration from thee Evoke convertible? Have you ever seen a 2 door convertible G wagon before?(made from 1996-2012) they don't make them any more. Basically the convertible top from that G is put on this 4 door G.
Kevin Koeberling if it ain't broke don't fix it. thats whats kept the gwagon alive. I understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't buy one of these myself. because at three-quarters of the price you can get a Ford Raptor or a Ram Power Wagon. that's just as off-road capable as this.
I guess the tables have turned now, it was all fun and games when your parents killed us before 1994...The only thing left for us to do now is to claim back our land.
HOME SWEET HOME - Tim chilling with the homies! Even better nice toy for the weather, a shame these will be museum pieces. At least the demonstration of the G wagon family in its preferred environment and not in and around high-end boutiques is refreshing.
SaLAD yes of course :D tbh if I'd be fucking rich I'd buy this thing and a nice home in South Africa so ny chauffeur can drive me around from the grocery store to the wilderness :D and I'd always look like a stupid king lol
I find this the best video of you ever. Talking, environment, filming the car itself, it has all its place. The balance between these 3 is delicate, but now you it right in this video... Keep up good work like this!!
Qblivion EU It's about the difficulty of upgrading a car rather than the number. A Veyron is hard to upgrade because of the engineering that went into it. This might not have a brabus edition because of the rarity but not because it's hard to do
Yes, it was a heck of a journey; three plane flights from Lyon to London, then to Johannesburg and then to Madikwe. I think not many realise how much goes into creating all of this video content.
No, all press launch content is shot under embargo and released at the time allowed by the manufacturer. This is always the case with launch style events like this.
Iv been to Africa many times and I'm going back in May for three months. Africa is such an amazing place. Particularly for nature lovers such as myself. What reserve were you in?
Tinashe Gamanya Iv heard of Madikwe. Its supposed to be a great place however I usually prefer to volunteer rather than just go on a regular safari. Mainly because I cant afford to go on a safari as they cost a fortune, and volunteering is allot cheeper, you stay for longer and you actually play a part in maintaining the reserve.
South africa is a lot lower than the equator. The skin colour isn't as dark there as in central Africa. But even then, a lot of people there came from foreign countries. And even then, all those people probably were european custommers who bought a lot of maybach's in the past, and got the opportunity for the safari.
idc that bmw owns rolls royce or volkswagon that owns bentley but this G650 Landaulet! Holy! Of all german automobiles. Only Mercedes Benz can do this! The Best or Nothing!!!!
I have to say that this is one of the most impressive vehicles I’ve ever seen. Wow! My wife would be permanent designated driver...that rear is so luxurious. This car is so bad it’s sinful! 😈
in support of some other comments made and to echo them i think its the best vid yet and will be hard to match let alone beat love the way its been edited🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒👍👍👍🖒👏
That is quiet the experience and congrats for it. It looks like an awesome Maybach but I still prefer the 6x6 or the 4x4 Squared. That bluish green looks gorgeous.
One of the most incredible opportunities of my UA-cam career to date; joining the launch of the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet; an exceptionally special vehicle that will be limited to just 99 units, in the most unbelievable location as we go on safari in South Africa!
Shmee150 Really wanted to meet you.
Good job.Well edited video :)
Shmee150 lol he flew all the way to Africa for a car 😑😑
+Kweku Nhyira Twum-Barimah-Adu I fly around the world regularly to attend press launches to shoot this video content for UA-cam.
i think mercedes sponserd you for the trip👍💙
As a South Africa I feel proud to have had such a person in our awesome country
i really enjoyed this style of video by you tim.. more natural and different to what you normally shoot :)
Trust me I enjoyed filming it, spectacular experience. Thanks for the kind words
ah, its not a problem :)
side note (loved the music, please more music in your videos) haha
Everything seemed better, it was a relaxing video. Really enjoyed it! (straight to the favourite folder)
Notavailable9ag There is no team for editing on trips like these, Team only joins in on trips like Fuel Faction or Gumball :D
This has to be one of the best videos you have ever made! Music, nice scenery and cars in one package!
New Dubai desert toy :D
youngprankster94 better until you have to send it to the mechanics every month
youngprankster94 it is so much more unique in every way possible. More luxurious than the autobiography.
Can see this in gold wrap in Dubai soon
This car is WAY more luxurious than my room...
Wrap it gold and you're gucci lol
Probably, one of the best vlogs to come out from the Shmee stable.
That background music did the trick this time around!
Such a beautiful country, South Africa.
Sheiks are goin crazy for these cars😂😂😂
Dutchgames S ikr those guys fucking love their G's
Dutchgames S yes just 99 to be made
Dutchgames S They made these just for them.
JIHADI PIKACHU and yet you live in a shithole and they are having the time of their life :)
Seized Cheese Thanks to white people :)
It amazes me the places you get to go, and the things you get to be involved in. Its inspiring to say the least!
Keep doing what you are doing, this is why you are my favorite UA-camr!
Stay humble.
this is the best car i have ever seen
urban kranjec also one of the most ugliest
***** I know more about cars than you would think.
The regular sedan/ Pullman Maybach is better
Tim, you promised good content and you have provided excellent new stuff! Yes, that's pretty cool! Thanks!
Thank you!
Looks like the Renault that May/Hammond/Clarkson built.
Dave Mckeague 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤤
This one shouldn't set fire to an automated car wash though
sucramdi I doubt this one would even fit into an automated car wash
lol. nice reminded me the good old day.
the avantime?
Holy sh*t, it looks hideous! I like the giraffe though :P
statesidesupercars I think they took inspiration from the Evoke convertible. I would not mind a hard top version though in a different colour just for the interior that Maybac make
statesidesupercars I really like it. But it's quite a controversial design. So you hate it or love it.
they needed no inspiration, the landaulet concept is much older than the evoke ;)
Rafiul Haque Inspiration from thee Evoke convertible? Have you ever seen a 2 door convertible G wagon before?(made from 1996-2012) they don't make them any more. Basically the convertible top from that G is put on this 4 door G.
Gc Cg They still make them? It's still on the Mercedes-Benz website and saw one that is more recent than 2012.
Just when I thought the G wagon couldn't get more ridiculous.....
They didn't want to disappoint!
Eric Von It's soo ugly... Why they don't stop production of this old car???
Kevin Koeberling cause people buying them. don't blame Mercedes. as long as the g wagons are making a profit Mercedes will keep making them.
another useless commentor This is... I have no words for this!
It's like paying for a custom built 40 years old car... Rediculous!
Kevin Koeberling if it ain't broke don't fix it. thats whats kept the gwagon alive. I understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't buy one of these myself. because at three-quarters of the price you can get a Ford Raptor or a Ram Power Wagon. that's just as off-road capable as this.
this is my favorite car off all times
I'm in South Africa man. Hope you enjoy it!
Amazing again Tim Mercedes Maybach G650 Landaulet, luxury and for Safari utterly, utterly awesome Shmee, thanks for sharing 😊
Next time you in South Africa please come to Cape Town and do one of your car previews around Cape Peninsula, roads and the views are to die for!
Nkei 7784 noooo sandton square
I guess the tables have turned now, it was all fun and games when your parents killed us before 1994...The only thing left for us to do now is to claim back our land.
I'm totally speechless,the MERCEDES-MAYBACH G650 is mind blowing,astonishing vehicle,love it.MERCEDES-BENZ THE BEST OR NOTHING
this would be an amazing addition to your garage
Yolo Yolo he doesn't have 650,000 pounds
HOME SWEET HOME - Tim chilling with the homies! Even better nice toy for the weather, a shame these will be museum pieces. At least the demonstration of the G wagon family in its preferred environment and not in and around high-end boutiques is refreshing.
It doesn't come with a built in shower and movie projector? 0/10
Wait wait, I just haven't shown you those yet! :D
Shmee150 😂
for the price of $420,000 ikr
Wenn die Götter Dich
lieben, dann hast Du einen
reichen Papa und so
ein tolles Fahrzeug !!!!
«Mercedes Maybach G 650»
Klingt fast wie ein Gedicht ...
Any other south Africans?

Many... Jozi
polokwane 👽
I'm in love with the S600 Maybach and also the G wagon. This is the perfect car for me
i am sure most of them going to the uae dubai ..
This video is a proof that every man is a kid when given the right toys.
I have been subscribed for a while, and this is probably one of your best videos to date! Awesome job!
Mercedes never fails to impress
FF replacement maybe for the lolololololollolss
Sgd On cars if he did that would be sick
SaLAD this car is sooooo useless :D especially when you don't have a chauffeur but it would be a perfect gumbal car :D
danI43541 uniqueness is the main reason
SaLAD yes of course :D tbh if I'd be fucking rich I'd buy this thing and a nice home in South Africa so ny chauffeur can drive me around from the grocery store to the wilderness :D and I'd always look like a stupid king lol
Sgd On cars He can't afford it
I find this the best video of you ever. Talking, environment, filming the car itself, it has all its place. The balance between these 3 is delicate, but now you it right in this video... Keep up good work like this!!
2:59
Dark Green?
Looks more like dark Blue or something like that :D
It's called Mystic Blue, but give it some yellow sunset and put it in the game reserve and trust me it looks green!
Thank you for the Information :)
At 7:35 you can see that it is green :)
wow..the color looks pretty cool
Thanks +halldorarni22
WOW thank you Tim for taking us along with you on that amazing adventure. Your so fortunate to do the things you do.
I hope the Brabus version will come
Rohan Rishi-Raj highly doubt it unless Brabus does a conversion on one of the 99. It would kinda ruin it though being a maybach
If Mansory can do a Veyron, then Brabus can definitely do one of these....
michaelgking87 there were much more veyrons than these
Qblivion EU
It's about the difficulty of upgrading a car rather than the number. A Veyron is hard to upgrade because of the engineering that went into it. This might not have a brabus edition because of the rarity but not because it's hard to do

Exactly!
that has got to be the best video ever!!! the safari plus the Maybach just amazing! love the sceneries, music! this is my all time favorite! :)
I swear he was in the alps yesterday with that porsche
Tom Ormerod 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it was a heck of a journey; three plane flights from Lyon to London, then to Johannesburg and then to Madikwe. I think not many realise how much goes into creating all of this video content.
Tom Ormerod he drove across Europe down to Africa the night before 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are the one to find good roads for G650 LANDAULET
You certainly were a better animal and car video than the top gear crew!!!!!
Omg that car is so beautiful I think I'm in love!
I'm for South Africa
Super, super cool! A great way to say goodbye to the G!!
you're much better than the Top Gear film crew at animals...
Really glad you visited us Africans!!! Been loyal to your channel and you've given me a greater reason to stay true!
5:03 he says good morning, you say im good 😂
this is one if the best looking cars I've ever seen
Were you actually on safari today? In that case - really fast editing!
No, all press launch content is shot under embargo and released at the time allowed by the manufacturer. This is always the case with launch style events like this.
Shmee150 Aha I see ;-) I thought it was a bit weird for you to be in Africa the same day as in the alps...
Well I was, I travelled on an overnight flight to get there.
Shmee150 Wow! That's amazing!
I agree with F1JunGT! Must be hard work...
Haven't heard about this model, Shmee you are world's most exclusive!
It has don't-seenthroughglass
Daan Wesselink HAHAHAHA
We need that feature for UA-cam
Daan Wesselink so dry
You lucky little thing. I love all G Wagens, especially the G650
It would have looked even better if it had 6 wheels.
Uzzy UzzUzz hell yes we the real mvp
Looks like a g wagon, a jeep, and a maybach had a baby and it's amazing!
Damn, looks like a great car 😎
snowcat gtfo douche
Incredibly luxurious car, but that's not surprising because she's still a Maybach. And I loved the safari parts of this video, nice job!
Iv been to Africa many times and I'm going back in May for three months. Africa is such an amazing place. Particularly for nature lovers such as myself. What reserve were you in?
W-James madikwe, search it up. My spelling might be wrong though.
Tinashe Gamanya Iv heard of Madikwe. Its supposed to be a great place however I usually prefer to volunteer rather than just go on a regular safari. Mainly because I cant afford to go on a safari as they cost a fortune, and volunteering is allot cheeper, you stay for longer and you actually play a part in maintaining the reserve.
One of shmees best videos
I thought that was scares in the thumbnail
The g wagon has to have the most satisfying door close feel and sound ever
Who did spot the hummingbird at 3:20?
One of the most humble UA-camr who doesn't fail to impress and works really hard to bring us such amazing content. Thank you, Tim.
For one moment I thought he was David Attenborough
Thomas Jones haha 😂 nice with some variation
that truck is super cool, hardcore off road but super comfortable and luxurious.
I`ve always been a supporter of everything Gwagen,AMG63 and 65. But this...?
Mecedes finally lost the plot
John it looks insane, and to have such a contrasting luxurious interior in comparison with the beefy exterior just makes this car wonderfully exciting
John I think the exact opposite
John Yeah me too lol
Sufyan yeah but don't call it a maybach
jax ? Have you seen the interior??? It's CERTAINLY a maybach
Can't wait for the 6x6 Landaulet.
The V12 sounded kind of like a lion.
17 L /100 km
More like 20L/100 Km xD
Truly amazing. I just learned of the G650 Landaulet's existence yesterday in Cnet.
Hmmm, I didn't spot any people-of-colour.
South africa is a lot lower than the equator. The skin colour isn't as dark there as in central Africa. But even then, a lot of people there came from foreign countries. And even then, all those people probably were european custommers who bought a lot of maybach's in the past, and got the opportunity for the safari.
Anibal No racist stuff please. Everyone had his/her opinion, but that doesn't mean you have to throw hate out. Thanks.
That car is just soooooo ugh beautiful!
Ff replacement?
Now this is what I call, Paradise.
I sell my house and get one of these things O_O
totally rational thinking. you can live in that truck
Welcome to South Africa Shmee.....Love what you do.
Ridiculous. I love it. My neighbour has a diesel G350 convertible with a manual. Super cool truck, goes anywhere you want it to go.
Tough gig Tim! Bonkers - but kinda glad that a Company like Mercedes are still prepared to make something like that in this day and age....
I really love when you have cool video footage with a chill soundtrack going... really professional feeling
one of the best shmee videos! thanks shmee for the video!
Woah... that Video was Amaaaaaazing... omfg good Music in the background
very nice i love it
this is my dream car
Such a beautiful green color..
I love that this car is used the way it's supposed to.
Lions are the best of the big cats, beautiful animals!
idc that bmw owns rolls royce or volkswagon that owns bentley but this G650 Landaulet! Holy! Of all german automobiles. Only Mercedes Benz can do this! The Best or Nothing!!!!
Think that's the most insane car I've ever seen
One of the best videos you have ever made, I really enjoyed it!
This is one of the best videos that you have ever made
I have to say that this is one of the most impressive vehicles I’ve ever seen. Wow! My wife would be permanent designated driver...that rear is so luxurious. This car is so bad it’s sinful! 😈
might be my favorite mercedes and my favorite shmee video!
Thumbs up for the dung beetle. Best looking mode of transportation on this video:)
i'm your fan In South Africa, I like it you're here
Prob one of the top 5 best vids by you Tim.
Gotta give props to the Merc Launch team, making it on the Safari was an amazing idea. Probably one of the greatest launches in years
For sure, the most fabulous for me without doubt
Okay whatever that truck is awesome.
What an amazing beast , it is awesome!
Why the hate for this incredible machine ??!!!! i don't get it with these comments man, the car is absolutely perfect.
very nice G 650 Landaulet very nice
in support of some other comments made and to echo them i think its the best vid yet and will be hard to match let alone beat love the way its been edited🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒👍👍👍🖒👏
One of your best video, my two hobbies, nature and car
That is quiet the experience and congrats for it. It looks like an awesome Maybach but I still prefer the 6x6 or the 4x4 Squared. That bluish green looks gorgeous.
Great quality video Shmee! Well done with the music, and very nice to see something different than usual (even though a big fan!) :-)
Honestly one of my favorite videos u have ever made
this is by far the best video i've watched from you
Mercedes is doing some incredible cars...
