Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon LAPV 6.X Concept

Think that Mercedes-Benz G-Class you take the kids to soccer practice in is hard-core? Well, it is, but it looks like any other family hauler next to the version you see here.

Unveiled by Mercedes at the Eurosatory defense exposition in France, the G-Wagon LAPV 6.X Concept is the latest armored military version of the legendary sport-ute. Its common-rail diesel engine can propel it, along with all the armor plating and 2,866 lbs of cargo, up to a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour. It's also got an adjustable suspension with 18 inches of ground clearance and enough attitude to make your enemies surrender without firing a single shot.
