When most people dream of World War II themed Jeeps, they think of green paint, the American flag and 50 Cal machine guns and general Patton spurring 1st Armored through Normandy. But this one has nothing to do with the US Army. Presented at the 2014 SEMA Show, this 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4-door from Hauk Designs is inspired by the fighters and bombers of the period.
The American company specializes in creating awesome body panels for the Jeep, which they wanted to showcase at the 2014 SEMA Show in Vegas. There's pretty much nothing stock left on this offroad rig that boasts with 3 inches of extra suspension, all-wheel steering and tires the size of a Smart car. But we're most taken with the aluminum riveted body armor, which look like it was made in the P-51 Mustang factory.
The engine is even more badass - a twin-turbo LQ9 LS3 setup with around 800 hp. Instead of regular air filters, they used twin machine gun air filters sticking out of the hood like those on a biplane from a century ago.
Hauk Designs even managed to get the exhaust to come out the side and built the interior using army surplus gauges and switches. The more time you spend looking at this thing, the more details you start to notice. There's a raked and chopped windshield connected to a roll cage and they've even added a couple of bulky bombs.
Check out the gallery below and see if you can spot the Jeep's brother, a widebody Chevy Camaro from hell.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
