An Emirati sheikh has built an incredible ten-wheeled vehicle made from a combination of a military truck and a Jeep in the UAE.
Dubbed 'Dhabiyan', the motor is a hybrid of an Oshkosh M1075 military truck and a Jeep Wrangler.
The vehicle is 35ft long, 8ft wide and has a height of 10ft, and weighs an incredible 24 tonnes.
It features a huge 15.2-litre six-cylinder 600hp Caterpillar engine, which originally powered the military truck it was created from.
Hamad bin Hamdan is known as the Rainbow Sheikh after he had Mercedes-Benz build him an S-class car in every colour of the rainbow, from the upholstery to the wheels.
Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan is a member of the ruling family in Abu Dhabi.

The Marauder from SA is plenty for me.
I doubt I could squeeze into the cab.
It’s a great town car.
A bit out of my price range.

I would rather have the original military truck (with UTVs and bikes in the back).

This is exactly what Scott Pruitt should've spent EPA funds on instead of football games when he was running the show.
The EPA needs this! A custom "coal-rolling" version!

Eight air horns would deafen any protestors.
Pretty usless configuration though.
