Everything is colossal in Dubai, so it did not surprise most people when they found out that remarkably large and super high-performance cars are in demand in the United Arab Emirates. If the U.S. loves big trucks, the U.A.E. loves them on steroids. In fact, the most crazy versions of SUVs, trucks and pickup trucks are found in the desert - just like the modified Jeep in our featured image.
For example, a behemoth Hummer H1, which was personalized and customized to meet the demands of a super rich Emirati man, was seen lately roaming in the desert.
The 21 feet tall, (almost) 46 feet long and 20 feet wide, gigantic Hummer is literally a beast, but in Dubai such sights have become quite common. Naturally, car manufacturers and industry professionals have caught up with the Dubai trends and started manufacturing beastly, gigantic vehicles that are made for the rough terrain in the desert, but come with exclusive, high-end features.
Apocalypse Manufacturing And The Passion For Monster 6x6 Trucks
In this competitive market, where everyone tries to attract the rich U.A.E. sheiks and oil tycoons’ attention, Apocalypse Manufacturing stands out. The Fort Lauderdale-based company is an expert in refurbishing 6x6 vehicles and upgrading them with state-of-the-art features. If the name sounds familiar, it is because Jay Leno’s Garage featured one of their killer trucks in an episode where the presenter is “surviving the Apocalypse with Bob Saget.” In 2021, Jay Leno returned to them when he features the Apocalypse Hellfire 6X6.
Those who watched Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s latest comedy, “The Lost City” will probably remember the little, quirky blue car, Bajaj Qute Quadricycle. Kidding! That’s totally forgettable!
The actual star of “The Lost City” is the off-roader Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6, which was boosted and modified by the Apocalypse professionals. Drivers who love larger-than-life vehicles should keep in mind that the prices for Apocalypse tuned vehicles are rather steep.
Just recently, a buyer bid and paid $219,999 on eBay for a Jeep Gladiator “Hellfire” 6x6, according to Autoevolution. The Hellfire's value depends on the engine and the Apocalypse team sells it on their website for a cost up to $200,000. However, this fan was eager enough to get his hands on the crazy truck and paid a premium just to get it in no time from eBay.
As for the monster truck, this is probably the vehicle you need if you live in an Apocalyptical reality where you have to fight off zombies, aliens or dinosaurs, because driving this mammoth on the European and American roads might seem problematic.
The Apocalypse 6x6: The Giant You Need In Your Garage
If you believe cars should be entirely hand-built and in line with the customer’s demands, Apocalypse trucks are for you. Every detail is perfectly curated and screams luxury and “craftsmanship.” Naturally, Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6 is no exception to the rule.
This killer vehicle comes fitted with an “Oculus Tron” front bumper that the team named “Grumper,” which includes a LED light bar that replaces the Jeep’s round headlights. This is one of the coolest elements on this monster truck, giving it a strong character. Other features include a customized front grille that comes with two big red tow hooks, Kevlar coated fenders, side steps, windshield protector, and a lockable cover for the steel bed.
The Hellfire has a killer engine that gives you a decent shot in case you want to run away from dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 engine produces a staggering 750 horsepower. In this case, power is transferred to all six wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is also worth noting that the engine pushes this 6,250-pound gigantic vehicle to the top speed of 110 miles per hour.
As for the interior, the leather upholstery is waterproof and highly resistant to the elements. A modern infotainment system is also available.
Despite its remarkable upgrades and unique features, the Hellfire doesn’t come anywhere close to Mercedes G63 AMG 6×6. The six-wheeler remains until today, one of the rarest and most in demand pickup trucks, with prices ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000. Nevertheless, drivers who want a powerful, high-performance, larger than life-sized truck can turn to Apocalypse for their striking beautifully customized vehicles.
Modified Jeep Apocalypse 6x6: Worth Every Penny
Crypto investors and rich kids who love big toys can select from several Apocalypse tuned options. While normal folks might think that paying $250,000 for an Apocalypse “Warlord" that is based on the Ram 1500 TRX might seem as an overstretch, off-roading aficionados will love the 797 horsepower tuned Hemi Hellcat supercharged engine, the 12,000 lbs high-capacity towing and the custom suspension system.
Meanwhile, the Darkhorse has a starting price of $175,000 and Hellfire, Sinister 6 and Doomsday go from $150,000 upwards. Evidently, escaping the “End of the World” is an expensive process, reserved for the rich among of us.
