Key Points
- Supercharged Hellcat V8 pumps out 850hp
- Apocalypse converts Ram TRX into 6x6 monster
- Australia’s Autogroup International in discussions for RHD conversions
When the supercharged 707 horsepower Ram TRX is just too common for you and doesn’t deliver the punch-in-the-face looks you want when driving around town, then Florida’s Apocalypse 6x6 has the rig for you.
Apocalypse convert the TRX into a monster 6x6 that they call The Warlord with an extended chassis and the Hellcat engine tuned to 800hp.
But for those wallflowers that feel they’re still not putting the fear of god in their fellow city commuters, Apocalypse has created what it calls The Juggernaut.
And it could be coming to Australia!
The Juggernaut ditches the stock TRX’s body work but keeps the four-door cab. The front and rear panels are replaced with the custom bodywork that you see here and could only be described as intimidating. This is a truck that looks like it’s ready for the end of time, or your next cars and coffee get together.
But the Juggernaut is not all about scaring the neighbours with its looks. The Hellcat V8 is pumped up to put out 850hp and the whine of the supercharger is enhanced to ensure everyone knows the Juggernaut is on its way. The powertrain features five drive modes including Sport, Drag Race, Baja, Rocks and Mud to be ready for whatever you point it at.
The Dana 60 axles are fitted with locking differentials, and custom suspension is used throughout including that trick IFS set-up. There is a range of wheel and tyre packages available, but 40-inch rubber is used for best effect.
The TRX’s cab is already pretty plush but is decked out inside with heated and cooled leather seats, a Harmon Kardon sound system, a 12-inch head display and a massive sunroof. Power side-steps are needed to get into the massive rig and they drop down to make access easier.
Apocalypse also builds wild 6x6 Jeep Wrangler and new Ford Bronco vehicles and says it has more than 140 cars on the roads now, and some of them in RHD for international customers.
Discussions with Australia’s Autogroup International (AGI) will see them taking on the RHD conversions so that Apocalypse can concentrate on building the cars themselves.
AGI’s Rob Hill tells us that they are taking on the conversions for RHD markets and will look at bringing them to Australia if there is a demand.
The Juggernaut starts at $300,000 so don’t expect any change from AUD$500,000 to get one here. Owning a vehicle that will help you survive the Apocalypse doesn’t come cheap, but if you’re the only person to survive, who are you going to show off your special rig to?
