20 Cars That Were Completely Pointless

1. Mercedes G63 AMG 6×6

The Mercedes G-Class is one of the longest-running models in the car world. First available in 1979 as a primarily military off-road truck and SUV, it is still on the market with the same basic design. During the course of almost 40 years, it has survived many modifications and redesigns, yet never changed its distinctive appearance and basic mechanical layout.

So, what do you do when you can’t modify a model anymore or make it more exclusive? Just attach a pickup truck bed and install one more axle and make it the fastest, most expensive and rarest 6X6 in the world. Mercedes did exactly that, creating one monster of a truck. It is a monster in terms of its power and torque ratings, and a monster by price too. Under the hood is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo engine that delivers 540 HP to all six wheels through a specially-built automatic transmission unit.

These are the 20 cars that were pointless for a variety of reasons. Even so, they left a mark in automotive history and may have led to better models later on. So even though you may be wondering what they were thinking when they produced them, they had an influence on the industry.
