You Can Buy The Futuristic Hummer HX As A Jeep Wrangler Conversion Now
You Can Buy The Futuristic Hummer HX As A Jeep Wrangler Conversion Now-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:17

As of November 2015, U.S. Speciality Vehicles is taking orders on the Rhino XT. It’s a complete off-road luxury conversion for the current Jeep Wrangler that transforms it into a dead-ringer for the Hummer HX concept from 2008.

Under the slabby skin, you’re looking at stock-standard a 2012+ Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the regular ol’ 3.6 V6, driveline and suspension. Which of course, you could upgrade thanks to that truck’s massive aftermarket.

There’s mention of interior touches (“Designer Premium Leather Seats With USSV Emblem”) but no official images of the doors open yet. Just the shot above and this one of a pair:

In case you’ve forgotten what the Hummer HX looked like, here’s the concept we saw seven years ago:

So yeah, they’re pretty much identical.

The Rhino XT is $75,000. The Wrangler you’d want to build it on, the nicest Rubicon Unlimited, is about $45,000 making this a $30,000 wardrobe change.

Tough value proposition at that price but it does look cool.

The design has been floating around since the summer, but we’re told U.S. Speciality Vehicles is officially in the business of selling the Rhino XT as of last month. We’ve reached out to them to find out if they’ve had many bites. And also to GM, to see if they have any beef with this.

But we do know the Rhino XT is real, because people saw it at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show just a few days ago. Presumably some GM designers would have seen it as well...

We’ll keep you posted on what we hear. Meanwhile, what do you think of this thing? And what price would entice you to get one?

I Really Hope The 2015 Infiniti QX80 Is Going To Look Less Offensive
Nissan is promising a new face and fancier trim for their new flagship fatass SUV, the 2015 Infiniti QX80. The current QX has been one of my favorite designs to hate since it was introduced in 2011, so I'm actually pretty excited it's finally going under the knife. The QX...

This Is How A Pickup Truck Pretends To Be A Horribly 80's Sports Car
A reader spotted this perversion of what I think was once a Jeep Comanche, which now looks like some weird blend of overwrought retro sportiness sitting on a set of American Racing wheels. With sculpted slopes all over the place and intakes for days this has got to be one...
