From Armageddon to the Day After Tomorrow, there have been plenty of Hollywood movies about how our world might end.
But if there is to be a global apocalypse, what would be your tactic to survive for as long as possible?
Forget underground bunkers – a new super truck should be on your apocalypse survival kit.
Apocalypse Manufacturing, a Florida-based firm that specialises in futuristic vehicles, has unveiled its latest vehicle – an enormous 4×4 dubbed the Super Truck.
The Super Truck’s ‘barbaric’ design makes it ‘impenetrable to external forces’, according to the firm, although its £130,000 ($159,999) price tag is likely to put off many doomsday preppers.

The Super Truck features a modified Hellcat V8 engine that churns out 850 horsepower.
‘With the Super Truck, we wanted to combine medieval, barbaric design, that is impossible to ignore, with the ferocity of the Hemi Hellcat engine,’ said Joseph Ghattas, owner of Apocalypse Manufacturing.
‘There isn’t another 4×4 on the market that has the speed, size, reliability, comfort, space and off-road/on-road features as our latest creation.’
Sitting on 40-inch tires and 22-inch rims, the Super Truck comes in at 6.9ft-tall, 8.1ft-wide and 20ft-long.
While it’s undeniably a beast on its own, its front suspension also allows for a whopping 15,000lbs of raw towing capacity.
According to Apocalypse Manufacturing, the Super Truck is ‘impenetrable to external forces’ thanks to a steel front ‘grumper’ (grill/bumper combo) and slate-piled rear steel bumper.

Meanwhile, open wheel wells allow the Super Truck to ramp-launch up to 10 feet off the ground – perfect for risky driving during the end of the world.
Drivers can choose from five off-road driving modes – Sport, Drag Race, Baja, Rock and Mud – giving them ‘full control of their adventure’, according to the developers.

The seats, doors, dashboard and arm rests are crafted from leather, while passengers can also enjoy electric seats and mirrors, a surround sound speaker system, heated and cooled seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
The Super Truck has already garnered huge interest on social media, with many users eager to get their hands on the futuristic vehicle.
Replying to a post on Instagram, one user said: ‘Would love to have one of these’, while another wrote: ‘I’m working on getting money for it.’
Meanwhile, another user joked: ‘Imagine getting run over by that thing lmao.’
