Heuliez Intruder

The Intruder is based on the Mercedes G and its the creation of the Italianartm of the Heuliez group. The aim was to create a versatile off-roader. One which should be converted from "Coupé" to "Cabriolet". At present the Intruder is a coupé with a removable hard-top which transforms the car to a Roadster!
The engines is an unchanged Mercedes six-cylinder unit, with a max. powerof 210 bhp. It's been combined with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The car is water-proof until the water-level is under 60 cm.
