When I first saw a real car, I was really fascinated by its appearance. Seriously, if you can drive such a cool six-wheeled car in the street, you will never lose your head. In fact, this six-wheeled pickup truck is manufactured on the same platform as Wuling Hong Guang MINI. The new car still adopts a single motor layout, which only drives the middle wheel set among the six wheels, and the other four wheels only follow. Wuling did this just to attract more attention at the auto show. Today, I will tell you about a real six-wheeled vehicle.
Mercedes AMG G? 63? 6×6
Wuling probably just thinks people need some interesting cars, but Mercedes-Benz doesn't think so. What AMG does it produce? g？ 63? 6×6 is a serious hard-core off-road, and it may be the most famous six-wheeled off-road vehicle in the world. This car can be said to be the largest, most luxurious and most legal off-road vehicle ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. Of course, no one can shake Unimok's position, but after all, Unimok belongs to an off-road RV.
The 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine has a maximum power of 544 HP and a maximum torque of 758 Nm. Although the data is not particularly eye-catching, it was announced to stop production after selling about 100 vehicles. This makes this car a limited existence, and most of the existing vehicles are in Dubai in the Middle East and North America. If you meet one on your way to China, it must be a high-end player.
Mercedes G4? 6×4
Is there more six-wheel Mercedes than AMG? g？ 63? 6×6, and a G4? 6×4。 This is an off-road luxury car specially produced for Nazi senior officials in the 1930s. Mainly used for review and military parade. It has a famous owner-Adolf Hitler.
1934G4？ 6×4 was officially put into production, and 1939 was discontinued. In the meantime, G4? 57 vehicles are made by 6×4 * *. The initial power is a 5.0-liter inline 8-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 100 horsepower. After 1937, it was replaced by a 5.4-liter inline 8-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 1 15 horsepower. The curb weight of the vehicle was 3500 kg, and the top speed was 67 km/h. Due to its heavy weight, high manufacturing cost and slow speed, the Germans at that time lost interest in it, and finally only 1 1 vehicle was delivered to the Germans. Other vehicles were changed to government vehicles. Hitler liked G4 very much? 6×4, so it is often used as a review car to visit and inspect.
Land Rover Defender Flying Hunter 6×6
As a competitor of Mercedes-Benz G, how can Land Rover Defenders stop there? Land Rover Defender, a high-end hard-core off-road vehicle of Mercedes-Benz G class, also has a 6×6 version, but it is not the original. This car comes from Kahn, a famous British refitter. In design, there are two versions of SUV and pickup truck.
Both versions are equipped with the universal LS3? 6.2-liter V8 engine with a maximum horsepower of 430 horsepower, but after Kahn? After the design adjustment, the maximum horsepower of 500 horses broke out. Compared with Mercedes-Benz AMG? g？ 63? In terms of 6×6, Land Rover Defender's 6×6 is even rare, and it can even be said that it is the only six-wheel version in the world. Kahn? Design and name this 6×6 land? Wanderer? Defender? Flying? Huntsman 20 15 Geneva Motor Show debut.
Ford raptor F 150? 6×6
Hennessy? Raptors (Hennessy Raptor) 6X6? This car is also made by a modification manufacturer, namely Hennessy, which is dedicated to pickup trucks and off-road modifications. This time their modified car is Ford's super pickup F- 150 Raptor. This pickup truck that is strong enough doesn't seem to satisfy the appetite of Hennessy engineers, so the new Ford F-17 Raptor has become their transformation object.
This 6X6 Raptor has a maximum power of 600 HP, and it is equipped with 3.5L? V6 twin-turbo engine with six 20-inch off-road tires. The rear two wheels are also designed, with a rear differential lock and an upgraded suspension design. The starting price is five times that of the ordinary F- 150 Raptor in the American market, but unlike other modified cars, it has become the official model launched by Hennessy manufacturers and can accept orders for mass production.
Tyrael. P34 six-wheel F 1 racing car
After the introduction of the six-wheeled off-road vehicle, it is time to introduce the six-wheeled super sports car. Tyrael. P34 is the world's first six-wheel F 1 racing car. Its shape adopts four smaller front wheels and a pair of ordinary rear wheels. However, this car was only in the racing career of F 1 for two years, and it was forced to be banned because of the revision of the rules of F 1. P34 also won the first and only championship in Athens at 1976.
The linear speed of P34 is really fast, but the aerodynamic performance is really unsatisfactory. Secondly, the diameter of the front wheel is only 62.5% of that of the rear wheel, and the speed of the front wheel is 1.6 times that of the rear wheel, which brings serious tire wear problems. Another early problem was that when driving the P34 with four front wheels, the driver found it difficult to choose the correct route in the corner. These defects and the modification of the rules eventually led P34 to bid farewell to F 1 stadium.
Super sports car Covini. C6W
Influenced by Tyrrell above? Inspired by P34, the Italians also introduced a six-wheeled sports car Covini? C6W. The car was jointly developed by Bosch of Germany and Momo of Italy. The materials of the whole vehicle are mainly carbon fiber and glass fiber. Of course, these characteristics can't hide the light of its six wheels.
Covini? The power of C6W comes from Audi's V8 naturally aspirated engine, with the maximum power of 380 HP and the maximum speed of 300 km/h. After the steering wheel is increased from two tires to four tires, the cornering stability will be better, because the ground grip area and braking system are increased, the braking ability will be enhanced and the dynamic safety will be better than that of ordinary sports cars. Unfortunately, it hasn't really been mass-produced.
There are also many concept cars and movie prop cars that have been designed with six wheels. Although there was no mass production in the end, it can be found that people's exploration of six-wheeled vehicles has never stopped. Under the increasingly stringent emission standards, it seems that the best solution for 6×6 is electrification. What MINI did Wuling bring this time? EV six-wheel special edition may not be what we need at the moment, but more importantly, it will give a direction to the future.
Which 6×6 do you think is the most handsome?
