Mercedes-Benz Hexawheel Concept by Simayak Rouhi Dahkordi

Mercedes-Benz isn't all about convertibles and luxury sedans, you know. Even beyond the crossovers and SUVs that shuttle our rich kids from school to soccer practice, the German automaker has a rich background in off-road vehicles. And while not officially sanctioned by the factory, this is a vision of what the next could look like.

Rendered by Iranian engineer Simayak Rouhi Dahkordi, the Hexawheel concept draws its inspiration from the articulated bodies insects in a six-wheel-drive chassis envisioned to scale tall vertical surfaces and proceed unimpeded by large rocks. The three-across seating may not fit all the kids, but it's sure to get its occupants wherever they're going with little trouble.
