You'd never get stranded in winter if you owned this: Kahn Design reveals its new SIX-WHEELED Land Rover Defender Flying Huntsman convertible

The Flying Huntsman 110 6x6 Double Cab Pickup Soft-Top is set to debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show
It will use a 430 horse-power 6.2-litre V8 diesel engine and measure in at a whopping 17-feet in length
The six-wheeled SUV is based on a Land Rover Defender though with an extended cabin and folding roof
No price has been confirmed but it is expected to ring in at a whopping six-figures - around £250,000

Drivers across Briton would have been grateful to own a car like this during last week's wintry weather.

It's the latest creation by London-based Land Rover and Range Rover customiser Kahn Design and it laughs in the face of ice, snow and just about everything you'd encounter on and off road.

Called the Flying Huntsman 110 6x6 Double Cab Pickup Soft-Top, it takes an iconic Land Rover Defender, adds two more wheels to create a go-anywhere offroader with six wheels and a six-figure asking price.

It also has a folding fabric roof for summer days or a blast through the desert.

Six-wheeled soft-top: The Flying Huntsman 110 6x6 Double Cab Pickup Soft-Top is a convertible like no other and will be able to take you just about anywhere you want to go, even if there's not a road to drive on

This isn't the first time the coach-building specialists have converted the military-bred 4x4 into a six-wheeled behemoth - in 2015 it showcased the first Kahn Design's Flying Huntsman, a double-cab Defender with a flatbed powered by a 170 horse-power 2.2-litre diesel engine capable of a maximum speed of 130mph.

But the new Soft Top version is expected to ramp-up the power output, swapping the modest motor for a 430 horse-power 6.2-litre V8 diesel powerplant that will be more capable of carting well over two tonnes of tank.

It also gets an extended rear cabin, likely to up the passenger count from five to seven, offering an al-fresco off-roading experience to those lauding it in the back row.

With the first six-wheeler measuring in at 17 feet, expect this elongated version to be equally as impossible to parallel park.

For now, it's in the design phase only, but Kahn assured This is Money and MailOnline that the real thing would be ready in the metal at some point in 2018 - likely to be in time for the Geneva Motor Show on 6 March.

How much is it set to cost? The original Flying Huntsman 6x6 conversion rang in at £150,000 (around £189,000 for a complete car) with the 2.2-litre motor and this one is expected to command almost twice as much - a fee in the region of a quarter of a million pounds.

The original Flying Huntsman 6x6, pictured here, launched in 2015 was an enormous beast itself, but adding more seats and a convertible roof is set to take things to the extreme

The Land Rover Defender's traditionally sparse interior will be upgraded with a full leather cabin, race seats and plenty of technology to improve entertainment and comfort levels
