I have seen this car referred to as the "Large Spider", the "Giant Spider" or the "Black Spider". It was custom made for Prince Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of the UAE. This is the humble gentleman who had his name carved out in giant letters in the desert so it could be read from space (see image below). The vehicle is based on a Ford F550 with a Jeep Wrangler cabin attached on top and has about 400 HP.

Further proof, if proof is needed, that money and taste don't necessarily go hand in hand...!
I believe he has a collection of over 400 cars...
