No doubt it's a lovely piece of kit, but there can't be that much of a demand fot them,surely? Is this a new product?

V8, six wheel drive on portal axles ...... Not a new idea though cuz the Australian Army has them

What I meant was - is the vehicle new to the market? It looks like its based on the old G-wagen? How old is the video?

Steyr are whores, they will make anything if your pockets are deep enough :mrgreen:

I it me or does the brace from the swivel down to the bottom ball joint look rather exposed for what it is?

As stated its an AMG product based on military G chassis. I'd love that, but now my G is a runner at last would happily settle for an extra axle and/or the AMG engine in mine.

i see letech have a hand in that 6x6 dont know much/anything about them other that they make portal axels...im wondering who did the running gear :? ...oberangner in austria developed the running gear for the 6x6 sprinter...or perhaps its a combo of letech...G & unimog parts ..or did styer do the whole shooting match? ...hard to tell no doubt even harder gettinging much info from daimler/merc...they seem to have been made in short numbers for wealthy arabs,ahhh well

Well, we'll, I didn't know that. Haven't seen one for ages. Like Xriss says, looks like an expensive toy for the Arabs to play with.
