Lamborghini Urus as Apocalypse 6×6

Ten years ago, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 was one of the first cars to be transformed into a six-wheeler, which later proved popular with pickup enthusiasts. Now, South Florida Jeeps has transformed the powerful Lamborghini Urus into an Apocalypse 6×6 vehicle.

Two months ago, a video of this crazy beast was published on the Sliderz_Official YouTube channel. The car looks like an unfinished project, but what can be seen is breathtaking. It is finished in red with black carbon side mirror housings, door sills, fenders, and large wheels. The extension of the roof line and the rear part made it possible to install a third axle and two additional wheels. A new diffuser, lip spoiler and additional spoiler mounted on the roof were installed.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. The standard Lamborghini Urus is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h).

This isn’t the first car that South Florida Jeeps has transformed into a 6X6 over the years. Before the Urus, the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and even the Land Rover Defender underwent a similar transformation.

2024 Alpine A110 R Turini

The French manufacturer of sports cars and racing cars, Alpine, presented a new version of the A110 model, the Alpine A110 R Turini. The car is based on the most powerful and most expensive version, the A110 R.

This car comes at a time when the French company is trying to get back into the American market, and how successful it will be remains to be seen. It is powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).

Alpine A110 R Turini is finished in blue with black hood and roof. It is equipped with a carbon front lip, rear spoiler, specially designed 18″ aluminum wheels, behind which are red calipers. Inside, the cabin is the same as the A110 R model.

When it comes to price, the A110 R Turini costs €106,000, the same as the A110 R. That’s more than some sports cars like the Lotus Emira I4 First Edition or the Porsche 718 Boxter GTS.

Rodin FZERO

Last year, New Zealand manufacturer Rodin Cars introduced a powerful racing supercar, the Rodin FZERO. The car is still in the development phase, and now the manufacturer has tested its capabilities on the test track in New Zealand.

Rodin FZERO is powered by a twin turbocharged 4.0L V10 RC.TEN engine (1,013 hp / 755 kW) @ 9,500 rpm combined with an electric motor (176 hp / 131 kW) for a total power of 1,176 hp (877 kW) and 516 lb -ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed sequential titanium gearbox. The top speed this car can reach is 360 km/h (223.6 mph).

“The concept with the FZERO is to create a car that’s quicker than a current Formula One… I wanted to build the lightest, most compact 4.0-liter 10-cylinder engine possible,” said founder David Dicker.

FZERO is a 5500mm long and 2260mm wide car made of carbon composite body panels. It is equipped with a closed cockpit with one centrally positioned seat, large front wheel arches, carbon titanium double wishbone, adjustable ride height & camber, an aerodynamic package that includes front, rear and floor wings producing 4000kg of downforce.

This is not the first car this company has produced. In 2021, Rodin introduced the Formula 1 inspired FZED, based on the 2012 Lotus Type 125. It was powered by a 3.8L Cosworth GPV8 engine with 675 hp (503 kW) @ 9,600 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
