Now this is a 4WD...or should I say 6WD
« on: May 27, 2014, 08:41:50 PM »
For any of you that saw Top Gear recently, Mercedes have developed, I believe initially for the Australian army, a 6WD car, that they are going to now mass produce.

6WD, 3800 kg, 6 metres long, 5 Diff Locks, 37 inch wheels, full leather interior, de-flate/inflate tyre controls from inside (in 1 minute),nearly 1/2 metre ground clearance, full leather interior, $500,000 price tag.

Now thats what I would call doing the Cape trip in comfort. And stand out from the crowd.  ;D ;D ;D

Not a fan of how the stuff is placed on the underside, way too many exposed hoses there for my liking.

Speewa,
I'm pretty sure you'd be able to put rear drawers and a drop fridge slide in it
