What is the identity of this car that seems strong enough to endure the end of the world?
It’s becoming a hot topic with its overwhelming visual appearance
Although it’s hard to find in countries with relatively well-developed road infrastructure, if you look overseas, you can see large vehicles equipped with off-road tires. In the United States, where the land is vast, many uneven roads make off-road driving capabilities essential outside of major cities.
In the U.S., pickup trucks high off the ground and equipped with cargo space and practicality are popular. However, some vehicles go a step further, attracting attention with their ability to withstand apocalyptic disasters.
Their very name signifies the Apocalypse
These vehicles come standard with off-road driving capabilities
The first is the Hellfire 6X6, a model introduced by Apocalypse Manufacturing, a tuner that uses ‘Apocalypse’ as its name. It’s a reimagined version of Jeep’s Gladiator into a truck, boasting an overwhelming visual presence. The Hellfire 6×6 is based on four-wheel drive but can distribute power to all six wheels through a mechanical middle axle, enabling it to drive in any rugged terrain.
The top model has a 6.2-liter V8 supercharged Hellcat engine, delivering an incredible output of 750 horsepower. Despite its hefty size, it can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The steel front bumper has a towing hook, and the angular grille gives it an aggressive look. The sides are dominated by voluminous over-fenders and wide tires, adding to its imposing presence.
With a proper power source, it could become a stable Cybertruck
There’s also Tesla’s Cybertruck.
Although an electric vehicle can offer stable driving with a proper power source. Despite being embroiled in various controversies, including images of it buried in snow on social media, its durability seems solid. After the release of the Cybertruck, many people conducted tests like shooting bullets at it, setting it on fire, or hitting its windows with baseball bats, all of which proved its strong durability.
Elon Musk has described the Cybertruck as having “Apocalypse Technology,” capable of surviving any disaster scenario. Made of stainless steel, the Cybertruck’s curb weight is a hefty 3 tons and can withstand gunfire from a 9mm Glock pistol or a 9mm MP5 submachine gun. The Cybertruck’s powertrain, capable of towing up to 4,990kg, comes in three versions: single motor, dual motor, and tri-motor. The tri-motor version delivers an impressive maximum output of 845 horsepower.
Hyundai has also introduced a zombie car, capturing interest with its unique idea
In the past, at the SEMA show, Hyundai unveiled the Elantra Zombie Car. It was based on the Elantra Coupe and modified for a zombie outbreak scenario, not just any disaster. The vehicle was produced in collaboration with the American zombie comic ‘The Walking Dead’ and Hyundai.
Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead, personally designed the vehicle, capturing people’s attention. The front has sharp spears to block zombies’ approach, and metal protective shields are installed on the headlights and windows. The wheels also have sharp spears. Although it’s more of an event, the unique idea is evident.
