Conquest_Vehicles_Knight_XV_1.jpg

Conquest Vehicles has launched the KNIGHT XV, a 400-horsepower armored truck that's "tougher than anything this side of a Bradley fighting vehicle and more opulent than a rapper's Bentley," as Autopia reports. It's apparently also big enough that its name is spelled entirely in caps. Oh, and it runs on ethanol.

"We believe that the combination of the secure exterior appointment and ultra-luxurious interior will appeal to high-profile individuals with discriminate tastes that place security and luxury at the top of their list when it comes to acquiring a bespoke luxury vehicle," said company president William Maizlin in the article.

The KNIGHT XV features laptop stations, night-vision cameras, six-way "boardroom-style seating," and—as mentioned earlier—it runs on E85. It also includes a DVD player, LED interior lighting, and a PlayStation 3 console. If you're feeling lucky, $295,000 gets you a place in line for one of these hand-built trucks. The company claims that each one takes over 1,500 hours to assemble. So far, they've built and sold 100 of 'em.
