Rhino XT: Jeep Wrangler on steroids

Rhino XT

California-based boutique automaker, US Specialty Vehicle, makes civilian versions of armored vehicles suitable for driving on ordinary roads. Their latest product is the Rhino XT off-roader, a Jeep Wrangler on steroids that took its body styling cues from its 'idol', the Hummer HX. The military appearance is only a disguise, as the vehicle under the "powder and lipstick" is completely serial.

Few would not nod to the fact that it is Jeep Wrangler one of the best off-road four-wheel drive vehicles. Well, the California automaker US Specialty Vehicle saw some room for improvement and dressed him in a military suit with a soft "pad". And the SUV was born Rhino XT, which is basically a Jeep Wrangler on steroids. Due to the added "muscle mass" (reinforced fenders, bumpers, bodywork ...) in the style of Michael Jackson, he completely changed his original image, and with his new aggressive look, he is more reminiscent of the Toyota FJ Cruiser, or his "role model" Hummer HX than the Wrangler. Also works earlier ready for war, but not to clash with roads and road traffic regulations.

The Rhino XT acts as an armored vehicle, but that's just a cover.

Well, Rhino XT but it is not just rough, without finesse. After all, it is road vehicle and not a vehicle for war hotspots (that's just disguise). Inside, we find premium ones leather seats, doors, Alpine navigation system, reversing camera and many other limousine goodies. He hides under the hood 3.6-liter V6 engine (285 hp), and the transmission of power to the wheels is handled by a 5-speed automatic transmission. For it you will have to pay a little less than (calculated) 69 thousand euros.
