So, I was having a clear up on my mac
files, videos, music, photos etc
& I came across this, totally forgot I had it,
but had to share :)
This Wee beauty . . . Or should I say Big Beasty is known as the Knight XV :)
Take a look below at it alongside the Hummer H2.
Now, the H2 ain't no small car, it is in fact, quite a big motor,
but it looks tiny, miniscule, laughably petite next to the XV.
This is big . . . Real Big
Now i'll introduce you guys
Conquest Knight XV
So what the hell is it? I hear you ask
Well, It’s a luxury armoured vehicle (honest) from Canadian-based firm
Conquest Vehicles,
These guys specialise in the design and manufacturing of fully armoured,
ultra-luxurious, handcrafted sport utility vehicles.
Inspired by the Gurkha military truck and based on the underpinnings of a
Ford F-350 truck, The vehicle holds 40 gallons of fuel &
it measures just over six metres in length
and tips the scales at a MASSIVE five-and-a-half tonnes.
(To say it's big . . . In my eyes, Is an understatement)
Part of the reason for the weight is that the XV
is built to withstand, well, just about anything.
Constructed of ballistic hardened steel, ballistic fibreglass
and six centimetre thick armoured glass,
it’ll withstand fire from Kalashnikovs, Dragunovs,
& apparently it can be be shot at for 24hrs non stop
Smash it Mental me thinks, Yeah Baby :D
This monster is currently priced at $310,000 USD.
Only 100 will be made available as a limited first run & each vehicle
takes a massive 1,500 hours to build by hand.
It's an ultra-luxurious handcrafted, Bio-fuel powered fully armoured SUV.
Powered by . . . Get this,
it's only gone and gotten itself a massive V10, 6.8-litre engine
and sits on a super duty Ford modified platform chassis.
It provides 400 hp and 498-ft lbs of torque.
