Do You Feel A Little Insecure When Out Driving,

even if you are in one of those huge Hummers? well help is on the way if you do in the shape of Knight XV, the 20ft monster is more than three feet longer than the Hummer H2 vehicle and a whole foot wider, inside, the exclusive motor is kitted out with a 26-inch, custom built LCD TV screen, an X-Box 360 or PlayStation games console and even its own bar, the machine is powered by a 6.8 litre, V10 Ford engine capable of producing 400 horsepower and top speed of 100mph, but a 'turbo-charger' upgrade can boost that to a massive 550hp, a custom-built Knight XV starts at around £323,000 but with upgrades the price can rise to a staggering £660,000, William Maizlin, president of Canadian makers Conquest Vehicles, said: "We believe we have created an entirely new niche in the bespoke luxury armoured vehicle marketplace with the Knight XV", for security, the vehicle's exterior is plated with ballistic-tested steel and aluminium body armour which can withstand a barrage of bullets, a glass between the driver and the passengers seats will 'defeat' a high-powered Magnum 44 pistol, a new high-level security upgrade includes a built-in oxygen survival kit with masks in case of chemical attack, under vehicle magnetic attachment detection system, under vehicle blast protection system and a black box, well I guess if you felt a little unsafe this would be the one for you, but imagine having to find two parking bays together to park it!
