An incredible vehicle that can not only withstand bullets but also has a smoke screen that can momentarily blind anyone who might be tailing it has gone on sale
The Tank Military Edition has been created by California-based Rezvani and is based on their original Tank XUV (Extreme Utility Vehicle).
The new model features run-flat tyres, front and rear blinding lights, as well as a thermal night vision system.
Every Tank Military Edition vehicle includes a survival kit with military-grade gas masks, hypothermia kit and first aid kit, as well as sirens and a full intercom system.
Powering the Military Edition is a gas-hungry 6.4-litre 500-horsepower Hemi V8 engine, which can be upgraded to a 6.2L 707 Horsepower V8 from the Dodge Hellcat.
The company says this makes it 'capable of propelling Tank over any terrain', particularly when combined with an available adjustable suspension system for increased off-road capability.
The Military Edition comes with the tagline: 'Designed For Defence, Built For The Road. The Toughest Extreme Utility Vehicle on Earth.'
