Knight XV

[DVad3r]

I just recieved an email from them, they said someone by the name of JulesMaximus has pre-ordered one with the Diesel engine option.



J/k, haven't heard back from them, which means their customer service sucks, how busy can they be?

 

[ViviTheMage]

flex fuel....pfft.

just give me diesel baby!

Fricking AWESOME. That thing is absolutely what I need when the bombs hit and the savages take power.

I believe that is the new vehicle of choice for bank robbers. WTF are the cops going to do, set up a road block, you would barely feel it at speed in this thing. I guess you could block the road with tanks... Put a monster fuel tank in it and drive to Mexico.

I doubt it would stop too many RPGs fired by the mexican drug runners at you, though, because they want to steal it :0

They are making it for 2012 so the New World Order can survive while the rest of the population get's sent to prison camps and plastic coffins in Georgia.

Its nice but you can get a luxury Hummer for a lot less money.

Why blow it up if they want it? They'd just follow you until it needed gas, they have more resources than the police

In fact you might start a nice sized battle, with the federalis trying to keep it away from the drug lords and the drug lords hunting you down. Sounds like a movie script, I'm sure we'll see it in theatres soon enough.

As you can see from the pic, the thing is twice as big as a Hummer. Also, how much would it cost to armor proof a Hummer and do everything that this car has? In fact, this car isn't even "armor proofed", it is actually made out of armor.

I think Jules' neighbours pre-ordered one and are planning on tailgating him to work everyday.

Now imagine that Suzuki vs the Knight XV instead of that Hummer. Hmmmmm

Imagine the Hummer versus that thing, jesus.

click on the last image they compare it to a H2

were the fuck will you park that thing lol

 

[thescreensavers]

Also, whats its rated MPG? lol

 

[BUTCH1]

Wow, that is one big ugly bastard!, It's begging for some kind of turret mod..

Probably the same MPG as those F-550 work trucks you see riding around with stuff attached to them. I'm guessing around 13 MPG or 14?

Low enough to create whirlpools inside the gas tank.

Seeing those interior shots turned me off from the car. I would probably still buy it if I was rich, just for the sake of safety, but I hate how you can so tell that it's a Ford SuperDuty by the dashboard/streering wheel etc. Even the seats inside look like captain's chairs from Ford. For that money they could of at least done an entire interior redesign.

 

[xanis]

That thing is friggin' badass.

 

[sandorski]

Only if my life was in danger. That thing is ridiculous.

Holy shit. :Q Any vehicle smaller than a cement mixer would be punted off the road with extreme prejudice in a collision with that thing.

Collision?

If a mosquito hits your bumper or windshield....do you count that as a collision?

That thing has more momentum than a freaking planet LOL

 

[EightySix Four]

Hummer H1: 7,847 lbs (3559 kg) * 60 mph (26.8224 m/s) = 95,460.9216 kg m/s
Knight XV: 12,000 lbs (5332 kg) * 60 mph (26.8224 m/s) = 143,017.037 kg m/s

The Knight XV has around 150% of the mass of a Hummer H1, and thus 150% of the momentum. That's terrifying. A shell fired from an Abrams tank (M830A1 round) is 22.3 kg and is fired at 1,400 ms and has 31,000 kg m/s of momentum, albeint on a massively smaller impact point.
