Marc Ecko Has a Gurkha

If you thought the H1 or the International CXT were big, then you haven’t seen the imposing Gurkha. Though it's not really a city car, Marc Ecko is already an owner of a personalized Gurkha and pilots this thing around on a regular basis. We have even found a video of this monstrosity, which by the way is armored plated.

We assume he wears camouflage trousers, combat boots and a bullet proof vest when he drives this. It does look a bit overdone, as this whole HUMMER military vehicle thing is over. The car is made by Conquest Vehicles Inc., the Toronto-based company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of fully armored, ultra-luxurious, handcrafted sport utility vehicles.

According to the manufacturer, the vehicle may be armored to the NATO STANAG 4569 level 3 which exceeds the CEN European B7 armor level. What’s more, it is also easily serviceable, as it is mounted on the Ford F550 chassis. The Gurkha has a typical SUV configuration of four side doors and a single rear cargo-crew exit door and carries a total crew of up to eight passengers.

Interior features include Wilton Wool luxury carpeting, Andrew Muirhead leather, 6-way electric leather boardroom-style seating, Tandem sunroof glass with privacy shades, Personal side-mounted lap top stations, LED cabin lighting, Alpine AM, FM, CD, DVD navigation and Bluetooth equipment, TV Monitors, Night vision and rear op camera system and Playstation 3 (PS3). The cabin's 283-cubic-foot interior is larger than the interior of most SUVs on the road today and can comfortably seat a lot of professional basketball players.

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.
