Following the launch of the pickup version of the Flying Huntsman, Kahn Design now presents the next step in the Huntsman evolution, the Flying Huntsman Pickup 6×6. Arguably the coolest of the Huntsman lot, the 6×6 pickup is aimed squarely and unequivocally at the Mercedes G63 6×6.
As for which one of these six-wheeled monsters you should buy, it is too soon to tell because Flying Huntsman Pickup 6×6 is still a concept for the time being, and even when it gets produced, they won’t be releasing more than 20 units per year. So on exclusivity alone, the British 6×6 wins the battle.
Flying Huntsman Pickup 6×6 is going to need that victory because in terms of technicalities it really doesn’t hold a candle to the German opposition. Whereas the G63 6×6 boasts a weapons-grade V8 engine with 580 horsepower, the Defender comes with a 2.2 liter diesel mated to a 6-speed manual or a 4-speed auto.
Even though the pickup is the cheapest 6×6 member of the Flying Huntsman family, it still costs £99,875 which is a lot. But it’s so fantastically cool, you just don’t care. That is, if you have a 100 grand to spend on what is, in essence, a toy.
