I gave that a good rating simply because it's batcrap crazy...and I applaud that! Yeah, I am not sure about the elongated bonnet, but go for it! That thing bouncing over the dunes in Dubai alongside the Merc 6x6, will just look epic fun.

Kudos, I say!

Probably out to compete with the 6x6 G-Wagon.



Which means I'll no doubt see a few in Dubai at some point.

Will believe it when I see it, that is actual engineering, not retrimming, fitting body kits, badges and perhaps the odd remap.

might just be me but the press release doesn't make sense and maybe I am being a pedant but if you are proposing selling expensive, bespoke vehicles to wealthy folk, not talking bks is a bit of a pre requisite.

"built to tame the hardiest terrain"

How can terrain be hardy ? definition is "Able to withstand difficult or adverse conditions", terrain is the difficult or adverse conditions, terrain doesn't survive itself, to be "Hardy" something has to be alive, i.e. "Hardy Perennial" or "The Hardy Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes"

Are the rear axles not a bit too close together?

Is it just me or is there a lot more rubbish like this about recently? By which I mean self indulgent penis extensions for the likes of that Dan Bilzerian and the super rich. I hope its a monumental flop.

Sign of the times I suppose.

This, x 1million. It appears the chelsea chavs have finally moved onto the poor Defender just as its nearing its death knell.

I wonder how much testing companies like Kahn do when they modify vehicles.
I think they test the design ideas on 4 year old boys.

To be fair, terrain doesn't come much tougher to navigate.

After my experiences with Kahn I wouldn't be touching this with a barge pole.

The proportions are so ridiculous that it looks like an early April Fool Day's fail.

Mercedes 6x6 was far better resolved than this "effort".

Looks a bit familiar to me...but only in the sense that it should have tracks on the rear rather than those wheels.

About a year to late. It is as though they saw the Singh's down the road who bought a Mercedes 6x6 to Chav it up in Bradistan.
But they couldn't afford a Range Rover...

Take it you are referring to the rearmost axle looking like it has no diff. Look again, as I think you can just make it out below the crossmember but am happy to be corrected.
