well this isn't exactly what was described, but an interesting machine anyway, electric drive 4x10hp (peak 200hp total), some large honda generator looking thing, wheelbase can be lengthened/shortened/widened/narrowed/raised/lowered hydraulically. And can go pretty fast, for a little bit.

But it doesn't have much storage, aside from the fuel tank "batteries give it corvette power for 5 seconds". So technically a hybrid (as counting the winch as a hybrid didn't seem to get much traction).

also didn't see any vids of it climbing, mostly dancing around in the parking lot, so nothing conclusive about it performance wise. It might be so expensive he is afraid to climb with it, or it breaks easily, or too heavy with batteries or not geared right for climbing or? But I would think there would be some real climbing vids if it were that good, rather than leave it to your imagination.
