I had one of these chairs years ago.
If it looks stupid, it is because it was stupid.

The vehicles are made by UNICAT, a company based in Europe that now also has an American branch.
The particular model shown in the photographs is designated as the "EX63-HDM / MAN TGA 6x6". The series of photographs included in the email can be viewed on the UNICAT website, along with many other photographs. This model has a roof that lowers snugly over the windows when travelling thus explaining the apparent mystery of the disappearing windows.

Cool.
Road yacht.
You’re right
assuming one can afford the diesel fuel to run it
It won’t be a matter of money, just shooting the radioactive zombies.
heh... A buddy of mine has a UniMOG. The thing is tough. In a whole different universe of tough.
Sorry, but ... Ick. I can see how going off-road might cause them to make those sorts of design choices, but for some reason I can’t get past the image of Cool Hand Luke spending his days in the “hot box.”
The Mog has got to be one of the coolest vehicles ever. There are a couple in my area and I love seeing one head on
and envying the vertically offset axles.
I think it’s cool. It looks like you could break through a brick wall, and then go inside for tea.
Trailer Trash ; )
If you can afford the million dollar price tag (841,348 euros), I’m guessing fuel costs don’t much matter to you.
“Hey, you can’t park that here!”
“Wanna bet?”
What you don't realize is how miniaturized the components in the photos are. I have a truck with a 14 foot box -- that isn't very long. It is fairly high -- and they make good use of the vertical space with the multi-levels. But look how short the part of the box in front of the real wheels is, which forms the lower level. I do like the KTM on the rear elevator platform.
It looks like an UNIMOG and garbage truck fornicated in an IKEA store.

Hard to imagine a bigger waste of money.
I’ve thought a duece & a half with a low profile 5th wheel travel trailer sans axels mounted as a camper...
Think it could be done for $15K to $20 nice enough instead of $800K...
Indeed. A relative bought me one for a gift a few years back. Pity it got broke before I had much of a chance to use it ;-)
