Conquest Vehicles are not widely known, but this
Canadian company surely makes ultra-luxurious, fully-armoured SUVs.
Okay, we can’t really use the plural version. So far, they have only
made one; the Conquest Knight XV, but Conquest lives up to their mission
on this vehicle.
The Conquest Knight XV doesn’t
qualify as an everyday kind of ride, but for professional athletes,
government officials, and heads of corporations around the globe, it
should fit perfectly amongst their stable of high-priced vehicles.
This extravagantly large and armored vehicle was first unveiled at the
2008 SEMA Show and since then, has had an abundant amount of comfort and
security features added to it.
The vehicle is the
picture of insanity and utter viciousness. We would just like to say
that it would be an awesome choice for the next Decepticon in any
upcoming Transformers if the production could afford it. It looks ready
for the job already.
For the 2012 model, the Knight XV has been designed
using only the most expensive and highest quality armoring materials on
the planet. Nothing - and we mean nothing - about this all-utility ride
is weak.
Beginning with the exterior, the 2012 Knight Conquest XV features many of the same design elements as the last model
except that this one is wider and a little longer. Among the few
changes done on the vehicle include a redesigned and more aggressive
front end, a new hood, a new grille, and matching headlights and
taillights.
What makes the Knight XV the ultimate in
all-utility luxury are the optional packages that it comes in. For the
2012 model, there are plenty heaps of it, including a Luxury Group
Package and a Security Package.
For the former, the
add-ons feature electrostatic tinting (rear windows, sunroofs,
partition), rear power windows, retractable ballistic glass partition,
retractable flat screen television, siren, 2-way PA system with loud
speaker, hidden front VIP strobes lights, forward and backup sensors and
an external intercom communication system, Playstation3 or Xbox
entertainment system, a VIP package inclusion of decanter bar, cooler
box, and a cigar humidor.
Meanwhile, the latter
offers less premium upgrades but has more than enough security features
to rival a Las Vegas casino. As part of the Security Package, you’ll
receive cool trinkets like an under vehicle explosive protection system
and magnetic attachment detector, an opaque floor armor protection, a
Black box, a security safe, a fire extinguisher, exterior surveillance
camera system, positive pressure defense system against gas attacks, and
an oxygen survival kit.
The last Knight XV to hit the market came with a price tag of $489,000,
which is, believe it or not, comparatively cheaper than the 2012 model.
Thanks to a lot of the added upgrades in the last model that have been
turned into standard features, the 2012 Knight XV now commands a king’s
ransom worth $629,000.
It’s hard to find a suitable comp for the Knight XV
because there aren’t a lot of vehicles on the planet that offers all the
things it can give, including the price tag.
Hummer
has long been discontinued and even the most tricked out versions of
those machines still pales in comparison to what you get with the Knight
XV.
If we were reaching, though, you could make a case that where the Knight XV has in interior amenities, Paramount Group’s Marauder more than makes up for in sheer intimidation alone.
