The Gurkha can go more than 150 kilometres per hour — plenty fast for a military vehicle — and is the highest level of protection you can get next to sitting in a tank, Whyte says. It certainly looks fierce enough.

The squat 8,620 kilogram vehicle looks every bit the ticked-off hedgehog, bristling with testosterone and armour plating.

If Avis are renting these I might not cancel my roadtrip of Iraq.

Jokes aside, trust the americans to bring out another 1/mpg mobile bomb shelter on wheels. Still would drive this over a rebadged daewoo.
