Jeep Wrangler on Steroids - Rhino XT Hellcat!

The company, US Specialty Vehicles which has built many a trick auto for movies as well as building special lines to sell to the public just outdid FCA.  In 2015 this company showed off this Rhino XT version which is available for sale with the V6 powertrain on their web site. For the latest Fast and Furious movie, they went out of this world crazy and built this unit with the Hellcat engine. Now the company has informed the public that they too can order up the Rhino XT Hellcat edition and have what has been seen on the silver screen. Yet if a 707 HP wrangler is too much for you and the base V6 is not enough you can always opt for their Supercharger Package on the V6. This takes you from the basic 285 HP by adding roughly 1/3 more power to motivate those 35" tires.

The V6 edition starts at $80,735. They also have the Sport edition and the premium edition packages.

While that may be super badass and the more vehicles with a 707hp Hellcat engine, the better, this doesn't look cool at all...sadly.

The big, heavy iron block faux Hemi, with the S/C and accompanied plumbing stuffed into the front in a vehicle not designed for it????  

No thanks.

If you click the link and go to their site and read all about it, they rip the auto back down to the frame and rebuild it to support the power and torque and make it a hell of an off road auto.

Kinda like the Hummer HX concept that I still think should be brought out as a GMC SUV.
