The zombie apocalypse truck listing
If you’re a Doomsday prepper or simply paranoid about global politics, you need to check out this listing.
This Inkas Armored Riot Control Vehicle was custom-built.
The truck is fully equipped to protect occupants by dispersing crowds – or the undead in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Basically, it’s a beast.
‘Lightly used’ this example is currently up for sale at the same price as this ultra-rare Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
This thing has never done anything ‘lightly’ at any point during its existence.
Still, $2.9 million is a small price to pay to ensure your survival when civilization crumbles.
Civilians need not apply
With a truck this imposing, civilian use is strictly prohibited, per the listing and the Inkas Armored official website.
The warning for interested parties reads: “This vehicle can be purchased by qualified law enforcement, commercial, or institutional bodies only,”
It boasts an armor level of BR7, which would enable it to ‘withstand multiple high-velocity rounds and shrapnel from detonations’.
The special-purpose truck is fitted with a high-pressure water nozzle on the roof that can be controlled from the fortified cabin.
What’s more, a fire extinguishing system, a height-adjustable ram bumper for moving obstacles, and a surveillance system. protect its inhabitants whatever happens.
It’s 7.9m (26ft) long, 2.7m (8.9ft) wide, and 2.5m (8.2ft) tall.
Surprising then, that the Riot Control vehicle’s cabin can only seat four with one of those behind the wheel.
It’s not mentioned whether the rear section features cargo space or houses chemical additive tanks and the main 10,000-liter (2,642 gallons) stainless steel water tank.
Built around a Freightliner M2106 RVC chassis, it’s fitted with a 6.7-liter 6-cylinder Cummins turbodiesel.
This is capable of producing 325hp (242kW/330PS) and a monstrous 1,000lb-ft (1,355Nm) of torque.
Power is transmitted to four of the six wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Just the thing to ‘push stationary vehicles out of the way with ease’.
This particular truck shows 1,931km (1,200m) on the odometer.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
