The world's largest car, a towering 21ft-high Hummer known as the HW X3, has been unveiled at a museum in the United Arab Emirates. The colossal vehicle, which houses a two-storey flat inside, is so enormous that a ladder is required to climb aboard.
Powered by four diesel engines, the Hummer HW X3 can reach a top speed of 19mph. It is three times the size of a standard Hummer and boasts 27 times the volume, measuring 46ft in length and 20ft in width. The frame of a US Army LARC-LX amphibious cargo vehicle was used in its construction.
The vehicle belongs to Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a billionaire member of the Emirati royal family. The upper level resembles a plush villa with a private guest area, while the lower floor contains a toilet, kitchen and sink. Each tyre reportedly costs around £18,500.
Motoring vloggers Vehicle Virgins toured the Sharjah Off Road History Museum and were astounded by the Hummer's size. One content creator remarked: 'I mean, are you kidding me? I can almost go underneath without crouching. When have you ever seen anything like this in your entire life?'
The Sheikh holds the Guinness World Record for the largest 4x4 vehicle collection, with 718 vehicles. The Hummer HW X3 now resides in his museum, though it was driven on roads when first constructed.
