Dubbed the Mercedes-Benz Hexawheel Concept, this vehicle is an extreme three seater off roader designed for the people who love adventure and often go on exploring extremely difficult terrains. The design of the hexawheel is inspired by the jointed structure of insects, and the vehicle is capable to ward off every obstacle with its flexible frame, united with a six-wheel layout and an all-wheel-drive system.


The structuring of the three-seat SUV has two degrees of motion and works with a hydraulic system with a diesel engine and a flexible system of hydraulic power transmission.
