Default Shadow Hawk Armoured Super Terrain Vehicle



The realm of outrageous conveyances contrived by precious designers is usually confined to superyachts and supercars. Now you can add “super terrain vehicle” to that list. So what’s the hell is an STV exactly? The folks at Shadow Hawk have the answer. The €1 million vehicle looks like a Hummer on steroids – Dartz by way of Colorado, if you will, where Shadow Hawk is based. The Shadow Hawk STV is designed to be both a high performance road machine and off road vehicle with nearly unlimited versatility and a full complement of armour plating.

Available only built to order, production will be limited to 12 examples per year. Although fully customizable, there are several configurations to choose from: Steel Hawk, Street Hawk, Terra Hawk, Desert Hawk, Armor Hawk and Battle Hawk. Daylight cameras, active suspension, camber and caster control systems, driver activated ride height control, 46 inch wheel travel and 3/16 inch monocoque construction are common to all; the high performance Street Hawk comes equipped with a monster 1,100 hp engine. Apparently these guys are serious.

I guess this will do. Seeing I don't think the Bat Mobile going into production anytime soon

Crazy. I'd image it has a height adjustable suspension. The pic, it isn't even streetable with the body being below the wheel rim and for off road, it doesn't have sufficient ground clearance.
