Are you hunting hobby and want to modify a car that fits? Perhaps it’s a special car hunting Khalid bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the king who ruled Saudi Arabia in 1975-1982, this could be an inspiration.As reported by jalopnik, Thursday, October 27, 2011, in the late 80s, King Khalid who do not like the political uproar that was ‘fever’ hunt. To be able to channel his hobby with a safe and comfortable, the king ordered a vehicle to a modifier of a Swedish car, Franco Sbarro Windhawk.
“He asked for a special car made ??for her favorite sport, hunting hawks,” the website wrote.
Windhawk was agreed. He revolutionized the Mercedes Benz G-Klasse wagon version into a special wagon to hunt monsters. He put six tires on a 6900 cc engine car powered 217 horsepower with a maximum speed of 200 kilometres per hour.
While the roof of the front and rear respectively uprooted and replaced with a sunroof that can be opened automatically. Interestingly, the front passenger seat can be increased or decreased, hydraulically so that users can get a comfortable position to shoot the target when firing.
Not only that. So that the car can be used to hunt up to distances of hundreds of miles without stopping in the desert, then the fuel tank is also adjusted. Tank capacity reached 350 litters.
While the car is able to bulldoze every field, whether sandy, rocky, muddy or even once, modifiers that make the legs of devices that can be set. The goal is that the car deck height from the ground (ground clearance) can be adjusted with the track that will be crossed.
Only, do not mention how much it cost to modify the German luxury wagon. But certainly, the car was not used again after the King Khalid died in 1982.
