Formula One
stars don't often do things by half and Lewis Hamilton is contemplating
celebrating his latest win by splashing out on a new set of wheels -
six of them to be precise.
Hamilton
romped to his seventh win of the season at Monza in the Italian Grand
Prix on Sunday and the very next day the reigning champion was pictured
alongside a Mercedes G63 AMG.
The
six-wheeler off-road pick-up truck, which has a military version
currently in use by the Australian army, will set you back an
eye-watering £370,000.
So...
Thinking about getting this bad boy. What do you think? #6x6benz
#mercedesbenz' the Mercedes driver wrote on Instagram as he was snapped
hanging out of the front door of the monstrous truck.
The G63 AMG, the 'lunatic monster utility vehicle' as it is described in an Autocar review,
is the second-most expensive Mercedes available to purchase and the
largest road legal SUV in the manufacturer's range of vehicles.
The
immense double-cab pick-up, which features 37-inch wheels as standard,
stands at over two metres in height, nearly six metres in length and is
powered by a ferocious twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine.
Due
to its sheer size, 3775kg kerb weight, the truck only reaches speeds of
around 100mph - a fair bit less that the 200mph Hamilton is used to,
but it can accelerate to 60mph in less than six seconds thanks to its
536bhp.
