The Knight XV: The Most Obnoxious Car Ever?

Do you think that the Hummer (previous holder of the title of the most obnoxious car ever) is subtle and a little bit feminine? Do you long for something more ridiculous with greater emissions? Do you want to be able to run over small children without even seeing them? Then I have just the vehicle for you!

The Knight XV by Conquest Vehicles (I swear I’m not making this up) is 20ft long and costs £323,000.  For that meager sum you get a ‘bespoke luxury armored vehicle’ capable of withstanding everything the modern world throws at it. Whilst you relax in luxury you can be assured that all the bullets fired in your direction will bounce off leaving barely a scratch. Sit back and enjoy a drink from the built in mini bar whilst watching Corrie on the 26 inch flat screen TV safe in the knowledge that any prospective car jackers can be squashed in an instant.

The Knight XV is a civilian version of the Armet Armored Vehicles Gurkha which is used by the US Army and contains several high tech security systems. Front and rear night vision cameras and a built in intercom system allow you to keep tabs on what is going on outside without the need to open the reinforced doors. Tinted windows mean that you can ignore passers by who stare in slack-jawed horror at your ride.

The Knight features “a 6.8 litre, V10 Ford engine capable of producing 400 horsepower and top speed of 100mph” along with an under vehicle blast protection system. All this will come in very handy when dropping the kids off at school or picking up some shopping. If your next door neighbors have a Lard Rover or a flashy van then imagine their face when you drive up in this abomination. You’ll have to be quick however as only 100 vehicles are being produced.
