As Hummer puts it, it's "The Ultimate Gadget for Grown-Ups."

Dr. James Brighton from Britain's Cranfield University has converted a full-size Hummer H3 into a working remote control vehicle.

According to U.K.'s The Sun:

It works exactly like a normal vehicle - but is driven and steered using a handset, just like a toy. It can climb a 407mm vertical wall, go down a 40 per cent side slope and operate in up to 610mm of water.

World's biggest, most expensive toy ($68,000)? You can watch the video here and see the images below.
