This Apocalypse Hellfire 6×6 costs $157,000

About a decade ago, the first six-wheel drive conversions appeared on the market, which over time attracted the attention of many. One such example based on the Jeep Gladiator was made by Apocalypse Manufacturing, and is now for sale.

Apocalypse Manufacturing is known for creating some of the craziest cars designed to dominate any terrain with explosive power. This car is covered in the livery of the American flag and is dedicated to the new President of the United States Donald Trump with the inscription “Trump 2024” on the left side.

To turn the Jeep Gladiator into an extreme car capable of all terrains, engineers added a third axle and special rims with 40-inch tires. The front part has new lights and a radiator grille, while the front and rear quarter panels have been retained. A few changes have also been made inside, such as the addition of bright blue thread, a specially sewn emblem on the steering wheel (a mushroom cloud).

This Hellfire 6×6 is powered by a 3.0-L V6 turbo diesel engine mated to an automatic transmission. When it comes to price, this car costs $157,000.

Stellantis has a problem with a large stock of unsold cars

Stellantis is one of the largest automotive groups in the world that owns more than a dozen brands. In the first half of 2024, it recorded bad sales results, which caused the problem of too many manufactured cars sitting in warehouses.

The total sales of vehicles from the Stellantis Group in the six months of this year on the United States market fell by 16%, and the biggest decline was recorded by Ram (-26%), Dodge (-16%), Jeep (-9%) and Chrysler (- 8%). A large number of vehicles are gathering dust in warehouses, so the group is considering the option of a lower price on cars manufactured this year or earlier.

Looking at individual models, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is currently the slowest selling car in the US, with an inventory of 617 days. It is followed by Alfa Romeo Stelvio (456 days), Fiat 500e (454 days), Jeep Renegade (332 days), Grand Wagoneer L (327 days) and Dodge Hornet (323 days). This means that brands don’t have to produce these models for more than a year before selling currently unsold stock.

Also, Stellantis decided to reduce the delivery of cars to dealers by the end of the year by 200,000 units.

2025 Jeep Avenger 4xe

The smallest model offered by the American car company Jeep, which is produced in the Polish production facilities of the Stellantis group, the Avenger 4xe, will be available to customers in Europe with AWD from the summer and will also offer a greater ground clearance, which will please all off-road enthusiasts.

The crossover from the B segment was only offered with FWD until now, and with the introduction of the new AWD version, Jeep has expanded the offer. It is powered by a 1.2-L three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine combined with a mild hybrid system with two electric motors, totaling 135 hp (101 kW). Power is sent to all wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 9.5 seconds with a top speed of 195 km/h (121 mph). It should be noted that at speeds of up to 30 km/h, the torque distribution between the axles is always in the ratio of 50:50, which will be best noticed on surfaces with less grip. On asphalt roads, the Avenger at speeds of 30 to 90 km/h uses only the front axle, and if necessary, the rear-mounted electric motor that controls the rear axles will automatically engage.

Jeep Avenger 4xe is equipped with multilink suspension, the distance between the floor and the ground can be increased by up to 21 centimeters, which ensures an even better off-road experience, but also passing through water whose depth does not exceed 40 centimeters. There are also roof racks, hook preparation and waterproof materials on the seats.

It should be noted that this model will not be offered in the United States, while customers in Europe can buy it from the second half of the year.
