What you’re looking at is the Desert Storm Trophy
Truck, created by a British company dubbed EPTA Design. It’s not real, but if
it were to be made, it could be one of the most overt vehicles the world has
ever known.
EPTA Design has designed everything from drones
through to mountain bikes and yachts over the years and has also ventured into
the world of automotive design. The Desert Storm Trophy Truck is bold, brash,
and brutal.
The first thing that may capture your attention for
the Desert Storm is the shape. Viewed from the side, the vehicle features an
angular roof that stretches right through to the rear fascia and ends with two
prominent points. At the rear, there is an open-bed design like typical trophy
trucks with enough room to support two spare wheels and vertical LED
taillights.
If Batman were to ever need a vehicle to chase bad
guys off-road, this is the vehicle he would do it in. Nowhere are the batmobile
credentials more obvious than the front which ditches a traditional bumper in
favor of a narrow and aggressive fascia with LED daytime running lights, no
windscreen, and six huge lights mounted to the roof – but no door windows.
So, we hear a new Batman film is said to be in the
works but details it are limited. If the Dark Knight needs a road-going
supercar for the film, perhaps the bespoke Lamborghini SC18 would be the tool
for the job. If, however, he finds himself in need of an off-roader, the Desert
Storm might just have a place in the Batcave.
