Hummers are for grandpa’s with a bad accent, real men drive a Gurkha. This Gurkha to be exact.

The faithful reader with a olifantengeheugen can the Canadian Terradyne Gurkha may still recall, almost nine years ago, appeared this armored behemoth for the first time on the young Autoblog. The car is on the custom chassis, a Ford F550, but it was during the course of the conversion the necessary steel plates, kogelwereld glass and other armour fitted. Even then there was talk of a civilian version, but apparently it took a while before this really never got off the ground.

Although nothing stood in the way of a Gurkha to purchase, were the cars so far pretty simplistic and effective. With the Civilian Edition that will change. This gave the exterior some extra schwung and the amount of armor was reduced to reduce the fuel consumption benefit (really?). Probably also got the interior some extra decoration, but pictures of the inside are missing as yet.

The technique was not getoornd, under the sturdy hood is a 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 with 300 hp and -much more important – almost 900 Nm of torque. This allows you to not only the neighbor to impress, but also the foundation of his home to draw as even the driving judge cannot help more. Since the technology in the Ford comes from, you bring your Gurkha for the beurtjes just go to your nearest dealer. The price of this beauty is not known, but there to ask probably means that you are unable to pay. Thanks to an observant reader (thanks!) we know that you for $ 1.5 million a digital Gurkha on your digital GTA V-ramp park. An alternative is in the form of the Knight XV, which is pretty similar to this Terradyne.
