A Bulgarian tuner named Vromos has just built a wild, six-wheeled version of the last-generation Toyota Hilux.

Vromos started with a stock double cab Hilux and added a few extra feet to the frame, an extra axle, and custom-built cargo bed. Not content with merely stretching the truck, the company also gave it a generous lift kit, a snorkel, huge fender flares, as well as all-terrain tires. A winch and beefy skid plates help enhance the truck’s off-road prowess.

While the exterior and the mechanical components are all business, the cabin was built with an unabashed focus on luxury. Another Bulgarian firm called Overdrive has masked the Hilux’s utilitarian roots by fitting wall-to-wall leather upholstery, Alcantara accents, and front seats out borrowed from the Land Cruiser.

While Vromos hasn’t published technical specifications, the fact that the truck is equipped with an automatic transmission suggest it’s powered by a 3.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that makes 171 horsepower at 3,600 rpm and 265 lb-ft. of torque from 1,400 to 3,200 rpm. The less powerful 2.4-liter oil-burner that the Euro-spec Hilux is offered with is exclusively offered with a manual transmission.

Vromos hasn’t revealed whether the six-wheeled Hilux is a preview of a limited-edition model or simply a one-off. Regardless, it’s unlikely to ever touch down in the United States.

A new report coming out of Germany finds the on-again, off-again successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR (pictured) has been given the green light for production once and for all.

The yet-unnamed model will feature a strikingly aerodynamic interpretation of the current Mercedes-Benz design language. It will be markedly bigger than the 911-fighting AMG GT, but it will be built largely out of lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber in order to keep weight in check.

While the SLR used a front-mid-mounted V8 engine, German magazine Auto Bild speculates its successor will be powered by a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain made up of a rear-mid-mounted supercharged V8 mill and two electric motors mounted over the front axle. The three power sources will send over 1,000 horsepower to all four wheels via an automatic transmission. Alternatively, the car will be capable of traveling on electricity alone for short distances.

If the rumor turns out to be true, Mercedes-AMG’s first gas-electric supercar will go on sale in 2018 with a base price of over €1 million. Production will be strictly limited to anywhere between 500 and 750 examples worldwide, meaning the model — which is expected to land as a coupe — will play in the same league as the sold out Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, and Ferrari LaFerrari.
