\nLooking at luxury sedans like the S-Class<\/a> and drop-tops like SLK<\/a>, it’d be all to easy to forget that Mercedes-Benz<\/a> has a rich background in off-roaders. But the Three-Pointed Star is also the maker of such rockcrawlers as the legendary Geländewagen<\/a> and the Unimog. And that’s the expertise that Iranian designer Siyamak Rouhi Dehkordi has tapped into with his Hexawheel concept.<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from the articulated frames of insects, the Hexawheel employs six driven wheels on an articulated chassis with a flexible drivetrain. Measuring nearly 16 feet long with a foot and a half of ground clearance, the go-anywhere Hexawheel is designed to climb over tall vertical surfaces. The Persian mechanical engineer was also responsible for the F1-inspired Ferrari Zobin concept we featured earlier<\/a>, and you can check out his latest vision in the high-resolution image gallery below.<\/p>\n
