The Knight XV is one awesome beast!
The Knight XV is a super armour clad “SUV” (if you want to call a beast twice the size of a Hummer an SUV) and is considered to be the most luxurious and expensive armoured vehicle in the world and with good reason. It has a starting price of $300,000 USD (with upgrades, you’re probably looking at $500,000). The Knight XV is built from the ground up with the ultimate security and comfort in mind for all the passengers in it. With it’s state of the art body armour (highest quality steel, ballistic aluminium, composites, Aramid & ceramics) that meets or exceeds military specifications and top of the line 2.5″ ballistic tinted glass and ballistic run-flat tires it’ll take a lot more than an AK-47 or any other gun for that matter to stop the Knight XV. It is sporting a 325hp 6.0L General Motors V8 engine which is upgradeable to a Flex Fuel (ethanol) or a 6.7L Cummings diesel engine. Seeing that this thing is being built on a Freightliner platform chassis, you can rest assured that this monster is a road-warrior and will plow through any crowd of zombies that you may encounter. Just look at the side by side photo of it with a Hummer H2 SUT.

Yet with all the worries and stress of knowing that most of your friends and loved ones have turned into undead zombies, you’ll need a comfortable place to relax and keep calm while you plan your next move. So while the exterior of your Knight XV is pretty stellar, it should make you feel better to know that the interior doesn’t look like you’re slipping into an armored tank. Within the hardened bullet proof shell is a beautiful suede covered interior. The Knight XV also puts most limos to shame with it’s Andrew Muirhead leather clad seats and Wilton Wool luxury carpeting (try not to get blood on the carpet). It also has an Alpine AM, FM, CD, DVD, Navigation, Bluetooth equipment and a dual screen rear console (with remote). But this is just what is offered in your “standard base package”, there are far too many upgrades to list but I’ll give you a few key upgrades:
= Electrostatic window tinting system (light to dark with a flip of a switch)
= Large flat screen tv & satellite TV system
= GPS transmitter, front & rear oxygen survival system (I’m thinking oxygen masks dropping out from the ceiling like in an airplane)
= Refrigerator and mini bar and all the key items you may need to survive.
= Cigar Humidor, Electric curtains, Security safe
= Sirens with 2-way PA intercom system
= Hidden front VIP strobe lights (you may need to have a party)
= Auxiliary Fuel Tank & Turbo Charger
= Extra surveillance cameras (in case you need more than the FLIR night vision & thermal imaging front & rear cameras that already come with it)
= External listening device (for when you just need to hear what’s going on outside to be 100% sure what’s going on 100%)
= Under-vehicle Magnetic Attachment Detector (for when the jealous frenemy survivor in a Ford Explorer wants to sabotage your uber-cool vehicle by attaching a bomb to it)
=GPS Transmitter (a homing beacon to tell your super trendy friends driving their PRIUS exactly where you are)
=Bolt lock door system (because a door just isn’t locked until you bolted it)
=Roof Mounted Search Spotlight
=External smoke security system (because sometimes you just need to shoot some toxic smoke to drive back the hordes of zombies or the aforementioned jealous frenemies surrounding your car)
This bad boy has seating for six so you have enough room for you and the kids and maybe a friend or two. So grab your computer (conveniently place it in the optional laptop stations), pack your iPad, put your MRE freeze dried food together and get ready for the beginning of the end in style. Conquest Vehicles puts more than 4000 man hours into each Knight VX which is why it is limited to only a 100 vehicle. I already know one of those has been purchased by NBA superstar Dwight Howard, and perhaps another one by our chief Jenna Gonzalez who is currently negotiating whether they would consider more feminine color options as well as putting in a Swarovski crystal steering wheel & dash instead, among other things). So if you want to be ready for what ever may happen, be it God’s wrath or the zombie apocalypse be ready to fork over a $25,000USD deposit and place your order for a Knight XV today.
