Mercedes unveiled the G-Wagon Light Armoured Patrol Vehicle 6.X CONCEPT at the recent EUROSATORY 2010 event. The new military vehicle comes with greater agility, higher protection, and a greater payload capacity. The new LAP 6.X Concept runs on a common rail diesel engine and, with a 1.3 tonnes of cargo, it can hit a top speed of 150 km/h. The vehicle’s modular armor plate system allows damaged plates to be removed quickly and be replaced with new or extra plates, and includes a mine deflector plate on the vehicles floor. The concept includes protection from land mines that can be added at the LAPV’s floor and features variable air shock absorbers that can be adjusted on the fly to provide up to 450mm of clearance. It also includes hydraulic brakes with ventilated discs, EADS integrated communication system for UHF or VHF bands including a mobile Tetrapol base station for radio coverage out of a range of other networks, and more.

However, this car look so aggressive with its styling and I bet those tyres would perform incredibly!
 Well, I don’t think so. Mercedes makes a good sportscar and I don’t think that this truck is cheaper in material. I still believe that its reliable just for its brand.
 For a military vehicle, I don’t think that the slight touched of orange is good. Hmm. Comparing this truck in a Mauder, I think the latter seems better due to its multi-functionality. I want to see a improved version of this truck.
 Well, I ff I could remember this is not the first time that Mercedes come up with this type. However, I’m not impressed with this truck and debate wouldn’t help at all.
 hmm. They are making trucks because of cost cutting? Well, its kind of confusing but I really don’t know on how reliable is the Mercedes trucks. I think it would be better if they focus in making an elegant sportscar.
 Maybe, they’re trying to use other materials for the tires. Cost cutting or innovation? What’s your opinion? To me, it looks awkward but other said it was perfect. Oh well, we have different opinions and I will consider it as a good debate.
 Amazing! I think Mercedes truck has no match on Jeep production! I bet this truck is perfect if you want to experience off-road adventure! I have to say that it is not a waste of money after all.
 @ayito: are you sure you want to buy one? total waste of money. Let’s just classify this as one of the pointless and useless truck that has been made!
