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.

M1075, the PLS (palette loading system). Pretty awesome vehicle. 10 wheels, all powered. Turning radius not bad because the front 4 wheels and the rearmost pair all turn.

This dude has moved he cab to the back end.

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.
