Default Mercedes Brabus 6x6




Yahoo!

$500,000 price tag

portal'd 6x6..

German independent tuning shop Brabus is no stranger to whipping speedy Mercedes into animalistic missiles, but tweaking a six-wheeler? Well, that's a new venture. Weighing around four tons, the Brabus B63S 700 6x6 as it's known, needs all the propulsion it can muster; 0-62 mph, despite its barbaric 5.5-liter V-8, takes just over seven seconds.

While Mercedes' 6x6 boasts 544-hp and 561 lb.-ft. of torque, the Brabus thumps 700 ponies and a whopping 708 lb.-ft. of torque, thanks to a pair of new turbochargers. The preordained 100 mph limit arrives because of instability due to its 37-inch tires.

What does it do? I mean does it have a purpose? It just looks like a big useless truck to me

gives nba players something to throw money at...

i think stangkilla posted a vid a couple months back of it being driven in the desert and stuff.

i actually like it. way douchy and way above what i would ever pay (or ever afford), but a portal'd 6x6 'passenger' truck? thats pretty cool in my eyes.

I disagree. It's a pretty marvelously engineered proof of concept, quite functional and capable. Overpriced? Sure. Useless? Not at all.

x2 definitely badass, $500,000 is a way more useable vehicle than all these crappy supercars that you cant really drive them like they need to be, so when is Axial gonna build a scaler off of this, lol
