We see a lot of wacky concept vehicles, but few as nutty as Hyundai's Ultimate Utility Vehicles with their robotic stilt legs. And the company is dead serious about building them, too, with a new development and test facility to be built in Montana.

This all-electric 4x4 off-road concept has a monster battery pack, a brutally angular and military look, and pop-out solar panels for off-grid charging. Oh, and if you need extra range, you can snap two extra wheels and a battery onto the back of it.

UK startup Fering is gearing up to build electric vehicles for cross-continental explorers. It's starting out with the Pioneer, a go-anywhere brick outhouse of a thing designed for monster range figures under the most extreme circumstances on Earth.

Everyone's favorite small block of flats on wheels will be going battery-electric. Mercedes-Benz has released a new Concept EQG, a "near-production study" on what an electric G-Wagen will look like, without losing its off-road capabilities.

Hyundai is adapting its jaw-dropping Elevate platform for unmanned and autonomous missions. The TIGER keeps the chassis design and extraordinary articulating wheels-on-legs, and offers a modular platform to carry loads across the roughest terrains.

Highly capable off-road wagon or the 4WD equivalent of a Gucci handbag; however you view the Mercedes G-Class, the updated model is now available with a grunty 2.9-liter six-cylinder turbo diesel engine that takes you some 20 percent farther per gallon than the gasoline-powered G 500.

The Mercedes-AMG G63 is already a fairly extreme vehicle. The high performance version of the boxy G-Wagen 4WD uses a twin-turbo 4-liter V8 making 585 horsepower. But Brabus sees the extreme as a perfect launching point for the ludicrous, and has turned the G63 into a full-on off-road supercar.
