Apocalypse Preparation, Part Deux: Mega Track on the attack
Click above for a gallery of the Mega Track.
We stand corrected. There's one more vehicle we want in our underground bunker when the Rapture hits: the Mega Track. Built in 1995 by the French Axiam Group, it's the answer to a question that only a few of us were daft enough to ask. With a Mercedes-sourced 394-hp V12 mounted amidships sending power to all four wheels, the Mega Track had the ability to ford streams by day and hit up Monte Carlo at night. The stock ride height was set at eight-inches, but flick a switch and the Mega Track would rise to 13 inches, ensuring that no curb, planter or small shrub could stand in its way. Unfortunately, only five were made, so finding one could be tricky. We're searching Craigslist now and hope to be Mega-equipped before things get really messy.

that is pretty cool!
I wish they made more, esp. a rally version.
Good luck finding one, as the end of the world could be coming in the next couple hours :-)

Or just get a Baja Truck. Less complicated, probably faster, and spare parts everywhere.

What I'm afraid of is: Subaru's new coupe will look like this.

Deuxième partie, you mean.
If you're going to pull out some of your high school French, at least do it properly.

don't take it too seriously, i think it was a take on the second hotshots movie; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107144/

Pardon me, then. =P I'm too young to have even heard of that movie.

Even for 1995, that's a *really* ugly interior.

that is the coolest car i never heard of. thanks for finding it. wonder how expensive it would be to put the same type of ride heightening/lowering suspension on an sti or evo to make a car with a similar set-up.

the audi allroad offered an adjustable suspension, increasing height for... offroad, while reducing height (specs not remembered) during nice speedy pavement runs

so it wasn't THAT adjustable
but it has low range?

That's standard on most high end Citroen (top half of existing models) for the past 30 years or so...
Check Jay Leno's garage. Watch the SM video (SM as in Maserati not...).

no one is too young to have heard of hot shots

Or...you could resurrect an old Subaru XT Turbo. Which did the same stuff albeit with a smidge less power.

Any pics of Mega Track when it's not in Attack Mode?

I never wanted a car that much.
All that I have to do is to put a H6 turbo in my 2.5RS coupe, a wide body kit and lift the suspension :-D

That is quite possibly the most ridiculous car I have ever laid eyes on!
I LOVE IT! I want one! :-)
