Is it a car? Is it a tank? Whatever it is, the US-built Devel Sixty is a $450,000 vehicle with supercar speed.
Its 2.3m (7.5ft) height next to a regular car puts its sheer heft into perspective.
You need to see it in action to believe how fast it can move.

The supercar tank
The Devel Sixty is street-legal and bought with a one-year year warranty.
It boasts a V8 6.7l turbo diesel, allowing it to go from a standstill to 97km/h (60mph) in 5.8 seconds.
Its speed is limited to 150km/h(93mph), with the base model packing just over 700hp.
Not enough? No problem? There will be other models reaching 1,500hp.
The six-wheel drive seats six or an optional seven.
It looks pretty good, too with 40-inch tires packed with metallic bolts and upward-opening wing doors that add to the beast aesthetic.
You can opt for fully carbon fiber when you order – it’s pretty customizable.
However – there is currently a 12-month lead time on delivery.
Its performance
Named the ‘undefeated champion’ in this video by loading_ny via wheelswonderland, it can be seen outstripping far nippier-looking cars.
However it does have a considerable amount of smoke billowing out of the top.

It seriously divided opinion online – with a love-it-or-hate-it opposition.
These guys started an abandoned tank for the first time in 30 years – and the footage is incredible.
But the pièce de résistance has to be the $750,000 SRV Dominator 3.
The heavily modified beast was converted from a Ford F350 turbo diesel and is used by experts as an extreme meteorologist to chase storms.
The aerodynamic tornado-proof tank features rockets for deploying data-measuring sensors into tornadoes.
