While the yearly Gumball 3000 road rally is a celebration of automotive excess and decadence through flashy liveries, some vehicles that take part still manage to stand out without extra help…

Take the behemoth of a pickup truck that is the Mercedes G63 AMG 6×6, in white and with extra power and trinkets by Brabus, plus a sticker on the side bearing a distinctly eastern-flavored inscription.

It may have looked out of place on the narrow streets of London, packed with cars on either side, but it sticks out even more in Spain, where money, jobs and a general sense of wellbeing are quite hard to find these days… That’s where it was spotted by GTBoard, on the highway, where its sand dune-friendly tires looked highly inappropriate.

If you’ve been harboring a hidden fetish to see this 6×6 elephant, with 700 hp, stretch its legs on the highway, then this is your shot.
