Did they use Lego briks to build it?

All-new Munro Mk_1 set to electrify off-roading

Scotland's first volume produced car in 40 years promises unmatched 4x4 ability - without an engine

www.pistonheads.com

if it werent for the military connotations with that look i wouldnt mind it that much
not flash enough for the chelsea and kensington set either
50k + VAT
hard to begrudge an electric non-corporate vehicle like this
just wish it didnt look quite so army

 

[nick]

Dunno if they built it out of lego - Burt certainly the draughtsperson was in love with their set-square

Find it hard to believe that front is pedestrian friendly : never mind harmlessly throwing them over the bonnet, it would just turn the average child into jam


ETA - wrote the above before reading the link from Ska Invita. I am not related to "rumble of Thunder" on piston heads, who also went with the jam analogy

Unlike most of the stuff on here I quite like that as an EV.

It’s fucking horrific and should be illegal to drive on a public road.

 

[kabbes]

Gotta say, I don’t understand how it can meet safety standards

 

[platinumsage]

Probably aren’t many child pedestrians jumping in front of 4x4s on grouse moors. In fact I expect the off-road child death rate to be far lower per vehicle kilometre than that of quad bikes or various other bits of farm machinery.

Obviously if people buys these to speed around the street of Edinburgh or whatever that might be a different matter.

 

[Spymaster]

Gotta say, I don’t understand how it can meet safety standards

Which ones?

 

[kabbes]

Which ones?

Well, the ones I assumed existed in my head. I just assumed that there were rules these days that you aren’t allowed to build cars that batter pedestrians’ brains at the slightest contact?

Low volume manufacturers, which the creators of this Minecraft Monstrosity will almost certainly be, are exempted from some regulations.

Cool. They should weld some sharp spikes on the front as well then

Which at least has a nod to safety with a springy bumper-effort thing.

Don't forget chariot type spikes as fitted to the wheels of some low riders

I am genuinely mystified why people want to buy that. For a LOT of money.

They’re very good for off-road, and very comfortable. But hugely expensive as you say.

Yeah, that’s some seriously challenging terrain in that photo all right.

I bet they go straight from there to Everest base camp.

No, look at it. It would be utterly terrible off road and is never going anywhere near mud in its entire life.

Everyone needs a twin turbo V8 for off-roading

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

I do have a soft spot for the G Wagon, especially the supped up Brabus ones, in an urban setting they look proper 28 Days Later.

Though if I was in the market for a six figure SUV an RSQ8 or Urus would be gracing my driveway.

 

[hash tag]

It does look better in the photo than in the flesh. It has 4 exhausts, 2 each side.....the colour in the flesh is very very dull

Also need low profile road tyres and side exit exhausts reducing the ground clearance.

The G-Wagen is amazing off road though that one needs different tyres.



The V8s are discontinued in 2023.

I would def pootle around in something like that after an apocalypse.

This whole idea of a 'luxury' off roader that weighs 3 tons is a fundamentally shit one. Nothing that heavy will get up a muddy or icy incline beyond a certain angle with only four tyres for traction; no matter how many computers it has to make sure the idiot at the wheel doesn't have to decide what gear to use or how much power or whatever.
