These are all words that describe this vehicle absolutely perfectly. I'm going to go with, Absolutely Crazy.
A year or so ago, Mercedes-Benz went a Absolutely Crazy and made that 6-wheeler G-Wagon. Now they have sadly stopped producing it after a limited run. But fear not. If you thought you would missed out on the SUV-With-3-Axles marketplace, Kahn Design have plugged the gap. Just for you.
This is the Flying Huntsman and yes, you guessed it, Absolutely Crazy. Powered by a 6.2 Chevrolet sourced V8 engine (or a Ford V8, if you prefer, but I'm not sure why you would) and based upon a stretched Land-Rover Defender, it marks a new venture for the Yorkshire based tuning company. So much has changed under the skin, this is almost an original model in it's own right. Think of them in the same way RUF are to Porsche, but not.
Oh yes, and 6 wheels. You cannot miss it, can you? If road presence is your thing, this is your next car. Truck. Vehicle. Either way, seems odd to call it a car. A bit too extraterrestrial for that term perhaps.
Let's just get this straight. 6-wheel drive, 430bhp and a crazy 1200mm length. It shouldn't be possible, it certainly shouldn't exist, yet happily, it does. The price? Well, expect that to be well over £150,000. Forget those 'Limited Edition' Land-Rover Defenders the official company is doing before it halts production, this is the real send off!
