When you think of armored vehicles for
military use, the first names that would probably come to mind would be the
French army-bound Arquus Scarabee or the Demon-powered Rezvani Tank X. These
two aren't the cars you would want to mess around with, especially with the EMP
protection that the latter employs. You'd also consider the Inkas Sentry
Civilian, just in case you're looking for something that can withstand blasts
from hand grenades.
These mentioned armored vehicles are cool,
but nothing compares to this – the Armortruck SUV Concept. Penned and
conceptualized by Milen Ivanov, this concept rendering is meant to be a digital
show car, but we think the guys behind Halo should contact this man ASAP. In
case you've heard his name before.
Milen Ivanov has been known for his other
crazy concept renderings from a while back, the Lamborghini Concepto X and Audi
RS Concept. His latest Armortruck SUV creation is probably his best, though, as
the details of this rendering are so intricate. We can only imagine the hours
or days spent in conceptualizing this vehicle.
Ivanov generously gave detailed
information about the Amortruck SUV. As you would expect from a military
vehicle, the concept comes with a body made from steel, titanium, Kevlar, and
carbon fiber. The glass is a multilayer "special material that is
incredibly strong" – Elon Musk, take note.
Of course, as a concept, Ivanov went all
out with the Armortruck SUV's specs. He sees it as a hybrid, generating up to
2,000 combined horsepower output. It also has thermal night vision and, get
this – a roof-mounted oxygen regeneration and filtering system, which makes this
armored vehicle ready for biochemical warfare or even space exploration.
Unfortunately, this is just a rendering,
but with crazy armored vehicles becoming a reality one by one, it isn't
far-fetched to see one in the metal someday – or at least in a video game.
