Did a forum search, couldn't find anything on this. So I thought I should make one.
Isn't this a Dartz? Certainly reminds me of one.
Couple of parts of that statement don't quite fit :rolleyes:
"This one-of-a-kind" & "production of the KNIGHT XV will be limited to 100 vehicles."
So which is it ? That's the 2010 version by the way, they previously showcased the vehicle in 2009 with less features as seen in the pictures below.

Conquest Vehicles Inc., the Toronto-based company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of fully armoured, ultra-luxurious, handcrafted sport utility vehicles has unveiled its flagship vehicle, the KNIGHT XV at the 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas, announced William Maizlin, President, Conquest Vehicles, Inc.
Inspired by the Gurkha military vehicle, the KNIGHT XV is an ultra-luxurious handcrafted, Bio-fuel powered fully armoured SUV. The KNIGHT XV is powered by a V10, 6.8-litre engine and sits on a super duty Ford modified platform chassis. It provides 400 hp and 498-ft lbs of torque.
The KNIGHT XV is priced at $310,000 USD. Only 100 will be made available as a limited first run. Each vehicle takes 1,500 hours to build by hand.
Our goal with the KNIGHT XV is to deliver an ownership experience that is unrivaled in todays marketplace. The KNIGHT XV offers the very best in security and luxury while ensuring that the environment is positively impacted when the vehicle is on the road, said Maizlin.
The KNIGHT XV offers interior appointments including Wilton Wool luxury carpeting; Andrew Muirhead leather; 6-way electric leather boardroom-style seating; Tandem sunroof glass with privacy shades; Personal side-mounted lap top stations; LED cabin lighting; Alpine AM, FM, CD, DVD navigation and Bluetooth equipment; TV Monitors; Night vision and rear op camera system and Playstation 3 (PS3). The cabins 283-cubic-foot interior is larger than the interior of most SUVs on the road today and can comfortably seat six professional basketball players.
We believe that the combination of the secure exterior appointments and ultra-luxurious interior will appeal to high-profile individuals with discriminate tastes that place security and luxury at the top of their list when it comes to acquiring a bespoke luxury vehicle, said Maizlin.

We designed this vehicle with three goals in mind. To provide the ultimate in security and luxury while ensuring the vehicle is environmentally friendly, said Maizlin.
Knight XV, when Hummer is not obnoxious enough....
New model has moar ballistic everything. If things keep going like they are, evacuating middle eastern potentates will need all 100.
Nice, those zombies aren't going to run over themselves.
Perfect for a Mexican drug lord who wants to stay alive longer than a few months.
Or a Mexican police captain who wants to stay alive longer than a few months.
Or Russian housewife wanting to avoid those awful seperatists. How very nouveau riche.
