KTW Tuning Mercedes-Benz Viano Van

The German tuner has released a performance package for the Viano 3.0 CDI model, which in factory trim, hides a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel with 221hp (224PS) and 440Nm (325 lb-ft) under its hood.

The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 Pickup

Keeping that in mind, it is only natural that the G 63 AMG 6x6 is defined by excess.

Take its footprint for instance: it is 5.87 meters (231 inches) long, 2.1 meters (82.7 inches) wide and 2.3 meters tall (90.6 inches), it weighs 3.85 tons and has a ground clearance of 460 mm (18.1 inches), more than double than the standard G 63 AMG, which sits “only” 210 mm (8.3 inches) above the ground.

Needless to say, the G 63 AMG 6x6 is a machine designed to go anywhere.

Mercedes didn’t offer pricing details, saying it will decide to build the G 63 AMG 6x6 depending on the response to the near-series show vehicle.

Ooops: Brazilian Derailment Cleanup Leads to…Bigger Derailment Accident

The cleanup crew, purportedly from Brazil, was trying to remove a group of derailed train wagons using another locomotive and a cable.

Putting aside the fact that the men weren’t following safety procedures (look at how close they were standing to the wagon and the cable, which could have snapped at any time), as the wagon was pulled, it dug into the ground making it nigh impossible to move, and well, it happened…
