Rezvani has taken the wraps off their new Hercules 6×6, which is being billed as the “god of all trucks.” Apparently based on the Jeep Gladiator, the model follows in the footsteps of the Rezvani Tank but adopts an 2,438 mm bed and four rear wheels. The truck has also been equipped with a roof-mounted LED light bar, a unique rear end, and sculptured metal sport bars which are available in a variety of finishes including the bronze seen here. Other highlights include customizable wheels that are wrapped in 37-inch off-road tires.
While the exterior is pretty interesting,
the cabin is little more than a dressed up Jeep. That being said, the Hercules
6×6 features an aftermarket Alpine infotainment system with a 9-inch display as
well as Apple CarPlay compatibility. Customers can also order a Napa Leather
package that includes premium leather seats and a suede headliner.
Under the hood, there’s a variety of
engine options including familiar a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 285 hp and 353 Nm of torque. Customers can also opt for a
3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 which pumps out 260 hp and 600 Nm of torque. Fans seeking something more exotic can opt for a 6.4-liter HEMI V8
with 500 hp. If that’s not enough, the company will offer a
“highly upgraded” version of the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that powered the
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
According to Rezvani, the engine is bored
out to displace 7.0 liters and then equipped with new pistons, a camshaft and a
forged stroker crank. Thanks to these changes, the supercharged V8 will
reportedly produce more than 1,300 hp and 1,341
Nm of torque. The first three engines will be offered with either an
eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. However, the
supercharged 7.0-liter V8 is only available with an eight-speed automatic
gearbox sourced from the Ram 1500 TRX.
Regardless of which powertrain is
selected, all come with an on-demand six-wheel-drive system. It enables owners
to switch between 6×2, 6×4 and 6×6 drive. Speaking of performance, the Hercules
6×6 has been outfitted with a Fox racing suspension and Dana 60 axles which
feature air lockers. If the standard model isn’t interesting enough, there’s a
Military Edition which features Kevlar armor, bulletproof glass, run flat
tires, a self-sealing fuel tank, underbody blast protection and
electro-magnetic pulse protection. The model also sports “ram bumpers,” a
reinforced suspension, electrified door handles and a smoke screen system.
Other highlights include a thermal night
vision system, an intercom, gas masks and “blinding” lights to hamper the
visibility of would-be attackers. To cap things off, the Military Edition also
includes hypothermia and first aid kits. Pricing starts at US$ 225,000 and climbs
to US$ 325,000 for the Military Edition. However, the options are outrageous as
the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 costs US$ 40,000 while the supercharged 7.0-liter V8 retails
for US$ 249,000 – that’s on top of the prices listed above, so the latter, costs
from US$ 474,000! In case you want to pretend spending your money on a Hercules
6×6, Rezvani has even made a configurator where you can go and customize it.
