G. Patton, a Chinese brand that sells customized versions of American cars, has unveiled its latest creation at the Chengdu Auto Show.
They named it the Tomahawk, and it is a 6x6 conversion based on the Jeep Wrangler. We are aware of the origins of this model thanks to the fact that its creators have kept the original steering wheel and dash of the Wrangler, as well as various styling elements.
However, the 6x6 conversion also brings a covered pickup bed, which is not a part of the Jeep offering. The vehicle came to our attention thanks to Car News China, who showcased the G. Patton Tomahawk in a separate story.
They have also observed that its badging is misaligned, and that its rear wheels appear to be improperly lined up. The latter might happen because the exhibit is probably a prototype, but an official explanation has yet to be presented.
Instead of directly utilizing the Jeep Wrangler’s Pentastar V6 in stock form, the Chinese company named after an American General has fitted it with a supercharger, and the growl of the 3.6-liter unit will make itself heard thanks to a custom exhaust.
The interior of the Tomahawk does feature a stock Jeep Wrangler dash and steering wheel, but the rest of it is covered in leather. The passenger compartment also features custom elements.
The most dramatic changes have been made on the outside of the G. Patton Tomahawk (the brand name is spelled with a dot, no typo here).
Instead of the Wrangler’s signature front grille, G.Patton fitted the car with a custom front end, as well as a significantly modified rear end. The pickup truck conversion of the Wrangler has been altered to be able to handle rugged terrain, and it comes with 35-inch Mickey Thompson tires fitted to 17-inch alloy wheels.
The front end has a Warn Zero 10S winch, which is controlled by a remote, and the occupants get inside with ease thanks to an electrically-operated step that retracts from the side sills. You cannot buy this in any other market except China.
