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.

From one of the pictures, it looks like he has the hard top, also.
I think it’s way cool. Maybe the vehicle will get a cameo in the next Mad Max movie.
Idiocy.
