Let’s talk about the end of the world, hypothetical as it might be. A Florida company has built the perfect vehicle that could help you survive that.
Should the end of the world come about, you’d want a vehicle that’s tough (to withstand zombie attacks or whatever other pest befalls us) but not rough (for you). You’d want something that is burly, aggressive and reliable, but soft and plush and luxurious on the inside, so it won’t feel like the end of days when you’re sat inside. That’s pretty much the reasoning behind the Apocalypse Hellfire.
Apocalypse Hellfire is the latest creation from Apocalypse Manufacturing, and one of them is being offered by sister company South Florida Jeeps on James Edition. If the name rings a bell, it’s because the Hellfire has been in the news before – and very recently, too: MLB outfitter Yadier Alvarez got himself one right from the display.
This is a brand new example, a Jeep Gladiator conversion that’s more powerful than the one Alvarez got, but similar in specs. It comes with Kevlar coating and windshield protection, complete removable doors and roof, massive tires, and custom leather interior. It’s powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 delivering 750 hp, while Alvarez got the variant with the 500-hp 6.2-liter V8 LS3 Corvette engine. This is a 6x6, but power goes to all six wheels or just four, depending on drive mode.
This is a “vehicle that could survive the end of times,” according to the listing. “A truck where looks and function dance with the devil in the pale moon light,” one of the limited run of 40 examples already roaming the world.
Offered with just 6 miles (10 km) on the odometer, this Hellfire comes with front and rear winch, a generous truck bed (8 inches / 203 mm), door activated power running boards, and active suspension. The interior is brown, hand-stitched leather from floor to roof, with Bluetooth, premium audio, navigation, and Apple CarPlay, and all the trappings of a modern luxury car.
The Hellfire is asking $199,990. Surviving the apocalypse in this thing is not for the budget-restricted.
