European Design House Creates Vicious X-Class 6×6 Concept

Luxurious brute includes a power bulge, wide fenders and a full carbon fiber body.

Six-wheeled Benzes are nothing new. Brabus gave us one from a G-Wagen, after all. Truck beds are also nothing new to Mercedes, as the Unimog sometimes has one, Brabus added one to another six-wheel G-Wagen, and the new X-Class has one by default.

However, there hasn’t been a six-wheel X-Class thus far. That could change in the future, though. According to Motor1, a new design sub-imprint wants to bring a monstrous example to life.

Polish design house Carlex Design recently launched a truck design-exclusive sub-imprint named Pickup Design. The name may be too on the nose, but its first design concept will push it back into your brain: the Exy Monster X Concept.

Per Motor1, the Exy Monster X Concept transforms the X-Class into a six-wheel terror made of carbon fiber body panels. The truck’s aggressive body work includes wide fenders, a big power bulge on the hood, an LED light bar, and a full set of black wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires.

To give some contrast to the already intense design, Pickup Design gave the bed a huge splash of yellow “protective, structural paint.” The yellow color can also be found with the seats inside the cab, and the yellow hooks on the bumper- and bed-mounted winches.

There’s no word on power for this monster X-Class, nor any clue if the three-axle setup includes a full 6×6 mode. Based on the rolling stock and its lowered suspension, the Exy Monster X Concept isn’t likely to see the dirt, though. Of course, this is one Monster we’d love to see in our garage.
