Snapped a few pics of this cab over vehicle at California Speedway this past weekend by the supermoto races. Anybody know what it is? It looked pretty cool.
what is this?

It's a Pinzgauer 712K. Built by Southern California Pinzgauers (which is sadly no longer in business). Really nicely decked out. I could find out more information if you're interested.Originally Posted by Lok47
Both Pinzgauer and Red Bull are from Austria. Not to mention Arnold Schwarzenegger (who owns at least one, I believe).
(Sorry, actually I think it was a 712M, not a K - with a fabricated rear cabin.)

Looks a lot like a Pinzgauer 712.

Thanks for the info. It was a pretty cool looking truck, but probably a bit impractical for daily use
Overland Training AlumniImpractical for daily use, but a killer expedition truck, esp the 6x6!!

The only regrets in life are the risks you didn't take.

That truck was here in town last year for a music festival. The Red Bull guy said they have it shipped on most of the longer trips. Highway speed is only 100 kph and even that's really winding it out.
Nice ride, though. Totally "pimped" out. can't belive I'm saying that.

Overland Training AlumniPic is from the Gabon Congo border looking towards the Congo side. We were stuck there for 4 days. We found out we were the first cars to cross in 7 years. It was quite a big deal on the Congo side!!Graham-

The pinz is Urs and Elza. He is Swiss, she is French. They are still travelling in Africa, 2 years after we came back!!
cheers

They make a sweet expedition rig. Only problem I have seen is that suspension parts can be hard to aquire.

I was very pleased yesterday while driving through my rural farm town to see a desert tan 4x4 pinz pass me going the other way, if I weren't going to meet someone I would've pulled a 180 and followed him
