Sometimes an ordinary off-road vehicle is not enough. If you are looking for a security SUV of a special class, you will be interested in the Knight XV from Conquest Vehicles. The "Black Knight" is one of the armored vehicles, but still has a good awareness of our environment: It runs on biofuel instead of diesel or petrol.
Security SUV for VIPs
The lobster has already found many fans in this country. A military vehicle adapted for road use. However, the Knight XV is not based on the Hummer, but on a military vehicle with the designation "Gurkha". The black giant is 6 meters long, 2,4 meters wide and 2,5 meters high. It thus fulfills the conditions of most road traffic regulations. It is built in Toronto, Canada, by Conquest Vehicles.
If you want to buy a luxury car with a lot of security, you can't make a wrong decision with this family tank. In addition to the bulletproof glass, it was reinforced with 64 millimeter thick steel throughout the body. This results in a proud weight that wants to be moved at a good pace. Here one expects a high-consumption engine, which pollutes the environment, but far from it. The 300 hp V10 engine runs on biofuel (bioethanol E85), but can also be fueled with conventional petrol.
The President of Conquest Vehicles, William Maizlin, says about the Knight XV: "With this vehicle we want to achieve three goals: the best possible safety, the greatest possible luxury and at the same time environmental friendliness".
The Knight XV - an armored SUV
The Knight XV is a great space saver, both inside and out. The angular design of the Knight XV signals strength and robustness. The monster only shows what it can really do when driving off-road. The interior, on the other hand, was designed to be very comfortable for the occupants. Behind the driver and passenger seats are attached, which face each other.
This is reminiscent of the Gurkha, which is used for fast troop transport. But with the Knight XV, the goals of a first-class business car have also been pursued. Holders for laptops, a sound system, TV screens and LED lighting allow for great comfort. If necessary, an important meeting can also be held during the journey.
The introductory price was $259.000. In the meantime, however, there are certainly already some used models of the armored security SUV. Although with this security monster for VIPs every armored gram is worth its money.
