![]() Oh, and that’s not the only bonkers rally homologation special Heuliez had a hand in. ![]() ![]() While Renault 5 Turbos were built by Alpine, the bodyshells themselves were modified by Heuliez. The Citroen CX Break, Citroen XM Break, and Peugeot 604 Limousine all were made by Heuliez, and that’s before we get to the really crazy stuff. However, Heuliez made much, much more interesting stuff than what typically rolled out of Valmet. Valmet had the Saab 900 cabriolet, Heuliez had the Opel Tigra, that sort of thing. Think of Heuliez almost like a French Valmet, a contract manufacturer that helped major automakers produce more specialty vehicles. However, none of the efforts I’ve mentioned are quite as absurd as what a French company called Heuliez cooked up in 1996. Whether factory-produced efforts like the G550 4×4 Squared or G65, or aftermarket endeavors like the Brabus 700 6×6 or Mansory Viva, custom G-Class SUVs keep getting more and more outrageous. Affluent people intent on showing off are very much into unusual G-Wagens.
