A rolling yacht with an above-average number of wheels.
The reason is unclear (it probably has something to do with the more-is-better syndrome), but in recent years, a slew of cars have been released where four wheels weren't enough. The sudden origins of this trend are unknown, but suddenly Mercedes-Benz ventured into building a six-wheeler. The G 63 6x6 is designed to be the best off-roader in the world, yet they're still most often seen driving around in cities. A recipe that another car has identified with for years: the Range Rover.
If you were to cross a G 63 6x6 and a Range Rover, you'd get the latest creation from T. Fotiadis Design. And predictably, their creation, called the SLT, doesn't exactly seem ready for the dunes. Fortunately, that's not the underlying idea of the Berlin-based company; their philosophy describes the ideal car for a yacht owner when traveling on the roads.

The result is, as expected, unusual. Large rims that resemble foxes (or are), lowered springs with thicker bumpers that give the car a completely different look, and of course, an additional rear axle. The Range is now also a pickup truck, or if you're feeling creative, a large sedan. Honestly, there's a hint of yachting in there. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the interior, where you'd expect a yacht company to excel.
Nothing is known about the price either. But a yacht company that makes a car this bespoke isn't exactly a recipe for bargains. If you're interested, you'll own a unique piece of car. As is well known, unique doesn't equate to beautiful or good. Currently, only a few renderings are available; the real deal will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
