Mercedes and Andy Lilienthal are a wife and husband team who are competing in the 2024 Alcan 5000 Rally driving the new INEOS Grenadier. They will tackle a ten-day, 5,000 miles journey of blisteringly cold temps, navigating their way through treacherous conditions, abundantly large wildlife, and fighting off sleep deprivation. Their INEOS Grenadier is from INEOS Automotive, a new automaker. This 4×4 workhorse is a powerhouse of new, innovation. It’s a recently developed vehicle designed to fulfill a marketplace gap after Jaguar Land Rover (now JLR) stopped production on its famed boxy Defender in 2016 and went after the luxury and technology segment.
