A car-mad sheikh has built the world's biggest Hummer H1, with stairs, a toilet with a sink and a guest space with a 360-degree view spread out over two storeys.
The behemoth vehicle boasts a height of 21.6ft (6.6m), a length of 46ft (14m) and a width of 20ft (6m), and it is fully drivable.
Dubbed the Hummer H1 X3, the incredible monster truck was commissioned by Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan - also known as Rainbow Sheikh - a billionaire member of the Emirati royal family, and the equivalent of the mayor of Abu-Dhabi
It will take pride of place in his Sharjah Off Road History Museum in the UAE, where the sheikh holds the Guinness World record for largest collection of 4x4 vehicles, at 718 models.
How does the massive X3 compare to a regular Hummer?

Hummer H1
6.4 ft High

83 mph Top Speed ..
Members of the public were left picking up their jaws from the floor when the X3 was driven to the Sharjah Off Road History Museum on public roads.
A small army of workers helped guide and manoeurve the giant contraption down the long highways of the United Arab Emirates on its journey to the Sharjah Off Road History Museum, which was slow going at a top speed of just 20 mile per hour.
Built on the frame of U.S Army LARC-LX steel-hulled amphibious cargo vehicle, it runs with four diesel engines - one for each wheel.
The museum boast it is 'three times bigger than a normal Hummer H1 by scale and 27 times by volume.'

Love those old Power Wagons!
Meh. A Cat 793D is about the same size and nearly twice as fast. Have to admit the amenities are nicer on the giant Hummer, though.
Awwww.. and it had a baby!
The people he paid to create this probably didn’t think so.
I bet it was fun, too.
And instead of taking that money away to GIVE to those people in welfare, he got something in return.
That should hold his entire harem.
Here's a video of it by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson:

The Sheik claims it's 64x larger than the original but they're figuring that mass scales up at the cube of linear size. The cube root of 64 is 4, and it's plausible that everything on this is 400% larger than on the original.
Brilliant! Love it! Perfect for the desert.
I was going to ask if it was the same guy
I want one.
Looks like it had a baby.
Babe magnet.
We need a David Attenborough voice-over describing the mother Hummer giving birth to the Baby Hummer.
