Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 based on the Land Rover Defender

Apocalypse Manufacturing is an American company that turns every vehicle into an extreme one, ready to conquer all types of terrain. Their latest project is the Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 based on the Land Rover Defender.

Engineers extended the chassis to add a third axle, or two more wheels, which unlike some other 6×6 conversions, are connected to the drivetrain. The suspension has also been refined and can now be raised and lowered by around 203mm with the simple push of a button. Of course, the conversion wouldn’t be complete without a specially designed set of 20-inch rims wrapped in massive 38-inch tires ready to tackle the toughest off-road trails.

The car is equipped with wide fenders, underbody protection, side steps and rock sliders, and an orange front bumper. Additional LED lights were installed on the roof, roof racks, sports bars on the rear and a spare wheel located in the cargo area.

When it comes to the powertrain, Apocalypse Manufacturing hasn’t changed anything, although it’s obvious that the extreme version is heavier than the standard Land Rover Defender. There is still a supercharged 5.0-L V8 engine with 525 hp (386 kW) and 461 lb-ft (625 Nm) of torque.

The Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 costs $374,999, and this car in the photos was built for a customer in Jacksonville, Florida.

Mansory Pugnator based on the Ferrari Purosangue

Mansory is one of the best tuners of luxury cars and supercars, and even the best sometimes make a mistake. That could be said of the company’s latest work based on the Ferrari Purosangue, the Mansory Pugnator.

In September 2022, Ferrari revealed its first SUV, the Purosangue, with which the Maranello-based company sought to attract first-time buyers and younger people. However, Mansory has focused its work more on those with deep pockets. The Pugnator (a name derived from the Latin word for “competitor”) is equipped with a Vermillion Red carbon fiber bodykit, which includes larger intakes on the front bumper that significantly increase downforce on the front axle, wheel arch extensions, fender vents, massive side grilles and fake rear door intakes. At the rear, there is a massive diffuser with four exhaust pipes, a rear grille and a massive rear wing. There are also plenty of fins, creases and air intakes, giving the Pugnator a muscular look.

The interior is upholstered in ivory leather with contrasting red details and carbon inserts. The seats, armrests and door panels have a new perforated pattern, while aluminum pedals, quilted floor mats and Mansory badging are fitted. Also, the tuner offers numerous customization options.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory increased the power of the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine to 755 hp (555 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque by remapping the ECU unit, installing a new exhaust system with flap control and sports catalysts. That’s a significant increase in power compared to the Purosangue, which has 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. The car sits on new 22″ and 23″ FC.5 one-piece forged wheels wrapped in high-performance tires.

The price of the Mansory Pugnator is not known.

Techart GT Street R Touring based on the Porche 911 Turbo S

Porsche is celebrating half a century since its first Turbo model arrived on the market, and on this occasion the German tuner Techart presented the Techart GT Street R Touring.

The Techart GT Street R is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S, and the aerodynamic package includes carbon components that increase the car’s stability at higher speeds. These include widened fenders, aggressive fender flares and GT3 RS-style vents, which create four times more downforce than the standard model and reduce lift by 45 percent at 140 km/h. There’s also a Techart badge on the hood and 22-inch Formula VIII Forged high-performance wheels.

The interior is a combination of technology and luxury materials such as leather, Alcantara, fabric, carbon details, aluminum pedals, footrests and door sills, all of which enhance aesthetics and comfort.

The GT Street R Touring is powered by a 3.8-L 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine with 810 hp (596 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque, up 160 hp and 150 Nm over the base Turbo S. The engine produces enough juice for the GTstreet R to reach a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

Techart will produce only 20 examples of this car. When it comes to price, the GT Street R Touring costs 98,250 euros plus a donor 911 Turbo S.
