Description
For a change I tried designing a car instead of a weapon. Well it ended up being a car WITH a weapon. Hope you like it
About the vehicle:
This is the Mercedes GTK Concept in Bundeswehr (German Army) ISAF camouflage. It's essentially a 2 seater next generation offroad vehicle filled with technical ideas. To begin with, the GTK has no axes but 4 electric wheel hub motors in every wheel. The wheels are attached by 6-axis KUKA robotarms and steered by FESTO fluidic muscles from -90° to +90°. This allows the vehicle to be extremely offroad capable, fast and agile.
The car has no windows and is designed to be aerodynamic and ballistic impact-reflecting. It also features split gullwingdoors, a electric winch, 360° cameras, slideout weapon storrage, a 40mm GMW and a battery slate system below the bonnet.

Well, the Golf has not exactly the best ballistic reflection properties
But it WOULD look cool

The presentation and the description sound like an actual brochure for this thing, and I'm sure if you put it on one several websites would take it for the real deal. Fantastic!

Holy crap, that's awesome. Its like an all terrain rover, perhaps ideal for planetary expeditions.
Great work, here.

Well there is already the Dingo, which is basically a Mercedes Unimog chassis with armoured body by KMW and remote controlled machine-gun.
Nice work though.

He said 40 mm GMW GMW or GraMaWa (Granatmaschinenwaffe)
That means 40mm grenade launcher (for which the barrel looks too long)
Looks like a .50 caliber.
But a bushmaster would be more preferred. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVm6hv…

when I saw this I had to have one. And now I do! I painted it with a dark red-violet carbon fiber.
keep up the awesome modeling and let me know if you license any more designs to fabricators.

It looks awesome.
Convincing design and details. I'm sure we are able to build that wehicle nowadays.
You're plannig on becoming a developing Engineer or something similar ?

Honestly, imagine what this would look like if it was made of carbon fiber. I love the way carbon panels look, so... I feel like it should be retextured with that texture just because CarbonFiber is the coolest thing ever.

Looks great - will help for "road rage". Great to see you have tyre tread going the correct way too!

Forgive me but this whole think looks REALLY cool, except for the really weird and super exposed back end. Gotta fix that man.

Beautiful - and regardless of Antenotici Workshop doing it, I'd love to develop the idea further, if you don't mind - although after browsing KUKA catalog, I'm somewhat wondering how heavy this thing is. Their best robot arm can support 350 kilos of weight, which means that any four wheeled thing heavier than 1.4 tons would be impossible, unless you factor in future advances in materials technology.

What does GTK stand for?
Gepanzertes Transport Kraftfahrzeug is something like Armored Transport- But this looks like more of an fast assault/scout car- or even a robotic combatant.
Either way. Bad. Ass.
