Eye Candy with eye watering pricetag

Recent posting on the South African Benz mbsa4x4.co.za web, shows a special vehicle spotted in Windhoek Namibia.

Apparently destined to be displayed in Du Bai in the near future. Portal axles, adjustable shocks, tire inflation/deflation on the go. reputed to have an eye watering price tag around $1m.

Enjoy!

Re: Eye Candy with eye watering pricetag

I am from Namibia......I think the double axel would have a bit of trouble in the desert sand, not to mention the extra weight. But it sure is sexy!

Re: Eye Candy with eye watering pricetag

Why?  The weight is spread over 50% more surface area.  Going forwards or backwards, the extra set of tires follows in the tracks left by the normal set of tires, and thus does not increase drag significantly.
