So Mercedes is billing this as the most badass camper ever built. We like to think of it politely as an RV on steroids. What you’re looking at is the Mercedes-Benz Unimog Project. I know, I know, why can’t you ever get these sorts of projects assigned to you at your job? Bran Ferran, chief designer and engineer responsible for this creation, modeled it to be a bit more kid friendly after his daughter was born. The goal was simple. They wanted to build a large scale global expedition system for exploration over land, scientific research, and of course still photography. To that end, the drivers cab is outfitted with more knobs, buttons and switches then the Apollo 13. That’s badass enough in and of itself. The six cylinder turbo diesel, which Mercedes is known for with its cars, only furthers the narrative. The inside cabin looks much like something you would expect to see on the NASA spaceship, with an electronics bank filling one wall of the cabin. Yet, you won’t feel a thing in this massive beast thanks to the Kevlar tires and suspension capable of tackling 45° slopes. It’s perhaps the best way to drive in style while exploring the world around you. It doesn’t get much more badass than that! .
