GXV Unimog: The last stand

The favorite truck of the world’s armies is the Mercedes-Benz Unimog. And the toughest Unimog of all is the U500 series. But you’ll have to be quick if you want to buy a U500-based 'extreme RV' in the USA.

Asides

  • Drive it like you stole it: eyepopping video of the Russian Kamaz 4x4 truck in action at an exhibition.
  • Nike's eight-wheeled 'Ill Mobile', an amphibious armor-plated war-truck from 1959 transformed into an extreme sport HQ.
  • The very strange Toyota RV-2 camperwagon concept. Funnily enough, it never got made. [Thanks, Tim.]
  • Steam-powered VW Transporter. "It has great acceleration and is deadly quiet. I heard it has the engine from a Stanley Steamer and can do 120km/h!"
  • Lateral thinking from designer Dominic Wilcox: anti-theft rust and scratch decals designed to make your new vehicle or bike look shabby.
