Want want want!
Id love to see how they built it.
No kidding, that's pretty damned cool. Now if I could only get one with a working three-barreled .50 cal... [thumbsup]

LARPer's.
is it as difficult to steer as the game- warthog?

Seems Monster truck drivers manage 4-wheel steering with ease. I'll be they've used a similar system for the rear axle ~

it's a little surreal....
It does look a wee bit photochopped.
I think it is fake, there are too many photoshop tells. Look at the lights in the second photo, and the shadows in the outdoor shots. You can see the filters applied. The texturing also looks off, too artificial, like they used a CAD design. The people appear tacked on as well.
EDIT - I did a search and there is a real one, with videos, but it looks different.
I'm gonna go ahead and say its real.

....takes deer hunting to an all new level!! [laugh]
Needs an unmuffled V8 roar.
To me, even the video looks fake. Watch the "rims" spin as the warthog moves over the grass, the speeds don't match.
