I think theyve used the Knight in Fast Five as the transportation for Dwayne Johnson. See the movie to know what kind of punishment it can take

P.S. - DJ is more well known as "THE ROCK" from WWE

I think, its a standard US Army Ford truck, that has been used as Johnsons ride in Fast 5. I could be wrong though.

Sounds like they are full of hot air. 2,000 BHP? What is the size of the engine? Veyron engineers were in a dilemma about engineering a gearbox that can reliably handle 1,000 BHP. And that's with VW's financial muscle behind them.

I'll believe the claims if & when this car is actually launched & properly tested.

The Karlmann King is the world’s most expensive SUV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=_T8AsjPgOBU

Reported to cost �1.56 million, the Karlmann King SUV boasts a 6.8-litre V10 and optional bulletproofing.

Quote:

Based on a Ford F-550, the Karlmann King is designed by Chinese company IAT and built by a team in Europe, with the aim of offering a “stealth” vehicle that provides “an unprecedented visual feast”.

Quote:

At almost six metres in length, the Karlmann King tips the scales at 4.5 tonnes, although optional bulletproofing lifts this figure to a mighty 6,000kg.

Under the bonnet lies a 6.8-litre V10 left over from Ford’s F-550, although this is said to have been fettled to produce something in the region of 395bhp. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, with four-wheel-drive and air suspension front and rear.

Despite the extra power from the V10, it isn’t enough to overcome the Karlmann King’s tremendous kerb weight, with a top speed of just 87mph possible in the vehicle.

Quote:

The ceiling features starlight headlining akin to that found in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the luxury leather seating can be combined with a range of bespoke colour schemes.

Almost looks like the designer was allergic to curved surfaces and vowed to only use flat panels.

Didn't know Ford made a V10 but still 395bhp is too low for a vehicle that weighs 4.5 or 6 tons.

And what's with that spoiler at the back? It's a 6 ton SUV that can't go faster than 87 mph. Doesn't seem like it'll have any problems putting its power down.

On the bright side no car or dog can sleep on the car with all those pointy surfaces
