The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is perfect for escaping dinosaurs... and probably other stuff too

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a stylish, executive SUV with plenty of standard equipment.

IF I HAD the money I’d buy…

A car to help me escape the dinosaurs, save the world and get the girl/guy of my dreams. A car with outstanding off-road capabilities that can cope with the Jurassic terrain of the lush jungle of Isla Nublar. I’d buy a Mercedes-Benz GLE.

Why a Mercedes-Benz GLE?

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a luxurious way to escape any attack by a monstrous Indominus Rex dino and thanks to its sleek coupe shape, you will be well protected from any pterosaurs attacks as they won’t be able to get a good grip.

With its thermatic automatic climate control you and your occupants will be kept super cool even under the most stressful of dino encounters.

If you do find yourself in a situation where an angry escaped ferocious hybrid dino is in pursuit, you can rest assured that the Mercedes-Benz GLE is the safest place you can be thanks to its Pre-Safe system of passive and active features that help to identify critical handling situations in advance and initiate preventive measures for occupant protection in the event of an impending accident.

But sure, look, Chris Pratt will be along shortly to guide you to safety, although you could just turn on the sat-nav and make your way to the resort yourself.

What’s special about this particular one?

This particular model is presented in Obsidian Black Metallic and rolls on 20-inch alloys. It has a full cream leather interior with Calyptus wood running through the dashboard and doors – this will help it blend in with its Jurassic surroundings.

It make your time in the GLE even more enjoyable, this model comes with ambient lighting, heated seats, Bluetooth and a reversing camera.

It has a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine producing 258hp and a massive 620Nm of torque making for super speedy getaways. It goes on to a dino-beating top speed of 226km/h.

Top help get to grips with the off-road terrain it comes with 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive and has ABS, ESP and a 4ETS Electronic Traction System.

Who else drives one?

The most famous driver of a Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is Claire Dearing - Jurassic World Operations Director - who tears across  Isla Nublar in the luxury car trying to save the day.

    I’d have hit the other guy myself in the same position. Tyson showed remarkable restraint to ignore their behaviour for as long as he did.

Maybe you should just say drunk people can’t behave themselves on the football articles or ‘some football cant…..’ Instead of including all of us because a lot of football fans generally can it’s normally the drunk ones like this American tool on the plane

    Do we take it from the comments here that it’s quite okay for all of us to slap/punch anyone who is annoying us? Mike Tyson is much a much bigger stronger man than the fellow he hit. MT was in no danger from him whereas he drew blood when he hit the irritating passenger.
    This was an incident which could have had serious consequences for all on board had it gotten out of hand.
