Mercedes-Benz has bought into the kookiness of CES by using the Las Vegas convention as the location to show off their upcoming electric G-Class concept. The EQG as its known (or electric G-Wagen) is said to offer a range of over 400 miles alongside 200kW rapid charging, but the really eye-catching part of the cars comes in the form of its "tank-turning" feature.

This feature enables the car to turn 360-degrees while remaining on a singular spot, and to show off the feature to the public, Mercedes-Benz brought several EQGs to CES to have them all spinning on the spot on the strip. Needless to say, if you've never seen a G-Wagen spinning around like a Beyblade, you can watch the video from Metro UK below to get a glimpse of just that.

The EQG is set to make its debut this year, meaning you may even see somebody spinning around on the driveway before the end of the year.
