Something like a Hippocrocorhinophant. Looks like it was put together by a committee.

Dit is 'n Knight XV

Die details kom van Top Gear af:
http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/knight-xv-2009-06
So what the hell is it? It’s a luxury armoured vehicle (honest) from Canadian-based firm Conquest Vehicles. Inspired by the Gurkha military truck and based on the underpinnings of a Ford F-350 truck, it measures just over six metres in length and tips the scales at five-and-a-half tonnes. The Knight XV is big.

Part of the reason for that weight is that the Knight XV is built to withstand, well, just about anything. Constructed of ballistic hardened steel, ballistic fibreglass and six centimetre thick armoured glass, it’ll withstand fire from Kalashnikovs, Dragunovs and Kasporovs. OK, we made the last one up. He’s a chess player.

The Knight XV is powered by a Ford-sourced 6.8-litre V10 putting out 400bhp and 500lb ft of torque. It'll run on E85 ethanol, so it's er, green. Sort of.

Conquest boasts that it will ‘comfortably seat six professional basketball players’ which, if you were in any doubt about the size of the thing, puts it in the ‘really very enormous' category.

Oh, and one final indicator of scale. See those wheels? Well, the alloys in the middle are 20-inchers. Getting a flavour for the bigness yet?

It's not a Hummer, and there's already a thread on it over here.
