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.

Umm Most fun car ever??
CarbonBlack @ May 2nd 2008 5:25PM
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.
Will @ May 2nd 2008 5:34PM
It's a Lamborghini Outback!
LeRobert @ May 2nd 2008 5:36PM
Deuxième partie, you mean.
If you're going to pull out some of your high school French, at least do it properly.
joe @ May 2nd 2008 5:41PM
don't take it too seriously, i think it was a take on the second hotshots movie; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107144/
LeRobert @ May 2nd 2008 5:45PM
Pardon me, then. =P I'm too young to have even heard of that movie.
havoc @ May 2nd 2008 5:36PM
this reminds me of putting matchbox bodies on stompers
Bungle @ May 2nd 2008 5:38PM
Even for 1995, that's a *really* ugly interior.
joe @ May 2nd 2008 5:41PM
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.
havoc @ May 2nd 2008 5:43PM
the audi allroad offered an adjustable suspension, increasing height for... offroad, while reducing height (specs not remembered) during nice speedy pavement runs
havoc @ May 2nd 2008 5:56PM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_allroad
so it wasn't THAT adjustable
but it has low range?
C'est Raoul @ May 2nd 2008 6:31PM
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...).
mrcarmine @ May 2nd 2008 10:55PM
no one is too young to have heard of hot shots
Richard @ May 2nd 2008 5:48PM
Or...you could resurrect an old Subaru XT Turbo. Which did the same stuff albeit with a smidge less power.
Quattrofan @ May 2nd 2008 5:55PM
You can't take the Baja truck to French Laundry. This however.....
Me like...
spincast @ May 2nd 2008 6:14PM
Any pics of Mega Track when it's not in Attack Mode?
R? @ May 2nd 2008 7:19PM
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
Dan @ May 2nd 2008 7:29PM
That is quite possibly the most ridiculous car I have ever laid eyes on!
I LOVE IT! I want one! :-)
