Americans are a very difficult people, and they have always tried to outperform at least some other countries. So it happened this time. They set a new record in car sizes. Some are chasing after the ecological improvement, others are constantly discovering new technologies, and America decided to take all the size and created the largest jeep.
The public was presented with an SUV that does not have any competitors in its dimensions. This event took place in Chicago, in one of the showrooms the company Alton Truck showed the audience its creation. In comparison with this car, even the largest SUV Hummer H1 seemed to the surrounding small. In order to reproduce this work, Ford F-650 was used as a basis, it is worth noting that the weight of this car reaches 12 tons, which in itself is quite a lot. For the convenience of landing passengers were made 7 doors, and the number of seats is provided for 8 people, of course, if you try hard, then in such a huge machine you can put twice as many people. However, this largest jeep in the world could not fully justify its abilities. In the hope of seeing something new and powerful under the hood, many were disappointed. There was a conventional six-cylinder engine that runs on a diesel engine and has a power of 230 horsepower, the five-speed automatic transmission system has long been adopted all over the world. But that's not all, with a cost of 200,000 dollars, this best jeep develops speeds of up to 120 km / h. Of course, I would like to see more from such a giant.
If to take in comparison, then Ford Excursion is not so bad. He, of course, did not deserve the title of the largest jeep, but unlike our novelties has more obvious advantages. It should be noted that it was produced both as a diesel and as a petrol variant. In the second case, its power was 314 hp, and the speed was 154 km / h. With such force, the truth and fuel consumption is rather big, for example, when traveling in the city it will take up to 30 liters of gasoline per 100 km. Also it is one of the biggest of its kind. True in Russia it is very difficult to find, and the release of this type of car stopped in 2005. Also expected and the arrival of new Knight XV, which were created in Canada and have a length of 6 meters. Of course, the cost of such a car is quite large and exceeds the novelty by 3 times. However, it is equipped with armored glass, which speaks of its purpose and use for specific purposes, and the armor is 6 cm.
Creating the largest jeep, the company Alton Truck and its manufacturers did not even think that someone can beat them. Although there is still a larger model of the machine, it is true that it was created for an individual customer, who is none other than an Arab sheikh. The creation of this car can not have analogues, so it is one of a kind. Machine height of more than 6 meters is for personal use sheikh. It is worth noting that with such huge dimensions the movement is not difficult and it is possible to get into the car quite simply, the height for landing is not so great, that's why passengers easily get inside.
To judge which car is the largest in the world, you can by different criteria, and for each there is its own unique brand of cars.
