The Mega Track was introduced in 1992, and the last of five cars built left the plant in '95. The 2+2 coupe body is relatively unremarkable for supercars of the mid-nineties. It's everything else that's special. For one, it sits higher than any other car - the road clearance in "slammed mode" is a very decent eight inches, more than that of your regular econobox. In offroad mode it lifts up, and can clear obstacles up to 13 inches high. The power of the Mercedes-sourced 6.0 V12 (same engine as in the original GEO, the Brabus E V12) is directed to every wheel via a viscous coupling - all 394 horses of it. That's enough for the specially designed Michelin rubber to spin so fast that the car covers 155 miles in an hour at terminal velocity, courtesy of an electronic limiter. What other SUV can reach 155mph? What about reach 155mph and look this cool doing it?





Granted, you won't want to take the Track to a trial event. But where there is even a hint of even surface, it will go, and love it. It didn't make it to the Paris-Dakar rally, but it did win the Andros Trophy ice racing series in '94.

The name suits it well; its track is over six feet wide, and the beam measures a full 90 inches. You'll need to walk almost seventeen feet if you're at the front license plate and you want to reach the rear one, yet the height is under five feet, making it seriously lower than any other SUV of comparable power. In fact, out of all the SUVs made today only the BMW X5 4.6iS come anywhere near its 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds.

And it costs much less; you couldn't have a new Mega Track for less than half a million dollars. There are two of them in Moscow. Typical.

The only good crossover is a dead crossover.

Looks like something the 80's crapped out.
