We see a lot of folks try their hand at making
out-of-this-world concepts based on classic cars. Few, manage to stand
out as good-looking, impressively imagined, and desirable. Fewer still are as
drop-jaw cool as this Land Rover Defender 110 SUV, dubbed ‘Predator,’ by Markus
Hammarberg – the brilliant designer behind Island Defender.
Originally envisioned as an ACU (Asset Containment
Unit) for use at the fictional Jurassic World theme park, this badass SUV was designed
specifically for taking down dinosaurs. But it isn’t all imaginary. This fictional build
is actually loaded with real-world after-market custom parts. The long list
includes a reinforced roll cage and roof rack, Maxxis mud tires on custom
Hutchinson beadlock wheels, custom wheel arches from S.S. Gíslason that serve
to give you a look at the Old Man Emu dampers and springs beneath, a WARN Zeon
Platinum 10,000-pound Winch, and more. If we were in charge of supplying a
dinosaur-filled zoo with battle-ready off-roaders, we’d definitely want
something pretty much exactly like this.
