We thought for sure this was a student concept rendering, and were shocked to learn it's an actual production car (albeit in limited run at just 100 units). A Canadian company called Conquest Vehicles, which manufactures "ultra-luxurious, fully armored, handcrafted sport utility vehicles" is producing the military-inspired Knight XV seen here.
The massive, nearly ten-ton vehicle was built from the ground up using high-grade steel, "ballistic aluminum" and other fun compounds; the doors are so heavy they require special hinges to support the extra weight. The gas tank holds a mere 63 gallons, though the company offers a larger tank as an upgrade, presumably in case you're looting an Iraqi oil field.
