Van Life Builds has built just that for their latest project. This miniature home on wheels had to make some sacrifices to fit in such a large bathroom, including fitting a double bed right behind the cab that doubles as a lounge area.
One Mercedes-Benz G-Class owner spent $146,000 USD transforming his off-road machine into a snow track-equipped vehicle worthy of a Swiss Alps adventure. To make it happen, he partnered with Delta 4×4 to add a set of Mattracks in place of each wheel that mount onto the hub, while the linkage to the buckets boasts an articulated mechanism enabling the tracks to move.
It’s official, the Mercedes-AMG ONE is now the fastest production vehicle to lap Nurburgring Nordschleife with a time of 6:35.183 beating out the previous record holder, a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey (6:43.300).

Limited to 10-units worldwide, the BRABUS P 900 Rocket Edition turns the Mercedes-AMG G63 into a 900 hp and 77b lb-ft of torque pickup truck, powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Even though it weighs in at 5,997-pounds, it can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 3.7-seconds, while topping out at an electronically limited 174 mph.
Similar to the Hyundai Prophecy Concept, the Mercedes-Benz F200 concept car from 1996 also has joystick controls instead of a normal steering wheel. This just proves that the latter was far ahead of its time, especially after making its public debut at the 1999 Paris Motor Show. Nicknamed ‘Imagination’, the body itself was based partially on the S-Class of that time, while also previewing the CL-Class coupe that debuted in 1999.

Mercedes-Benz has an electrified vision for the future, and it includes their all-new VISION EQXX. Aside from achieving a 621-mile range on a single charge, it has a very impressive energy consumption of less than 10 kWh per 100 kilometers, or roughly 6 miles per kWh. The company redefined the automotive engineering rule book by building a software-driven electric car that re-imagines the road trip for the electric era.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz Atego general purpose rigid truck, the SOD RISE 4×2-950 motorhome might be the first one with a rooftop terrace, or at least straight from the factory. Unfortunately, it will set you back at least $700,000 USD from Stone Offroad Design for the most basic model. This one has a fully decked out interior, complete with marbled porcelain stoneware.
In case of zombie apocalypse or just to go off-road in pure luxury, Classic Youngtimers Agency’s Mercedes-Benz X 350d 6-Wheeler “Black Edition” pickup truck is the vehicle to choose.
