STING APC – Tesla Cybertruck ready for the apocalypse

The STING is the ultimate Tesla Cybertruck ready for the apocalypse. It is intended for military and civilian use, and will be produced in three versions: Baja, Protector and APC.

The Sting APC is the more advanced of these three versions. It has protection against improvised explosive devices and mines, and thanks to its steel and ceramic armor, it can protect passengers from fire from heavy 14.5 mm machine guns. This version is designed for high threat environments and the generator is purchased separately.

The Sting Baja is equipped with an AMP Drive G125TM 800V generator, which can use jet fuel, diesel and biodiesel. This generator can charge the Cybertruck, as well as other electric vehicles, with a power of up to 125 kW. The model will be available with an off-road mod package, which includes parts manufactured by Unplugged Performance. An optional amphibious package is planned for the future.

The Sting Protector offers slightly more protection than the Sting Baja, and is intended for riskier trips. It is equipped with an off-road package, as well as steel armor that can be mounted and removed with screws. This armor can withstand attacks from 7.62 mm automatic rifles, so it is recommended for individual, corporate and government use in “moderate threat environments.” It should also be noted that it will be available with and without a generator.

This vehicle was created in cooperation between the companies Archimedes Defense and Up.Fit, and the price of the upgrade is unknown.

Spofec Rolls-Royce Spectre

In 2022, Rolls-Royce introduced a new car, the Spectre, which many believed to be a modern version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith, but the British company disagrees with that. Now, the German tuner of luxury cars, Novitec, introduces a special body kit that takes the car to a higher level.

At first glance, the Specter looks more spectacular than ever, aided by a custom-built body kit that includes a front splitter, new side skirts, rear lip spoiler and diffuser fins, all made from exposed carbon. There’s also a lowering kit that puts the car 35mm lower to the ground and 24-inch SP3 wheels from Vossen, previously seen on Spofec versions of the Phantom and Cullinan. The new set imitates the design of Rolls-Royce disc rims, but has a slightly more sporty style. Spofec offers a choice of 72 different rim colors as well as an alternative SP2 design with nine double spokes.

There were no changes under the hood. There is still a twin-turbo 6.75L V12 engine with 563 hp (420 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds, and thanks to the 120 kWh battery, the Specter has an electric range of 428 km.
