Showing off a mesmerizing blend of rugged aesthetics and luxury materials, the Rhino XT is the latest brainchild of California-based automotive “fashion house” US Specialty Vehicles. This imposing sport utility vehicle was specially designed to take over the streets, although it looks perfectly capable of going to war as well.
The uniquely designed vehicle was inspired by the big and bulky Hummer H1 and the custom JEEP Wrangler Unlimited. As such, it features an aggressive bodywork, complemented by riveted flared fenders, bold bumpers, fiber-reinforced plastic body panels, as well as a heavy-duty roll cage.
Those fender flares will be gone in a flash if you’re going off-road, and the unique alloys, wrapped in high performance tires from toyo, seem to be perfect for rugged conditions as well.
The engine bay hides a 3.6-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine, good for about 285 ponies, which, to be honest, doesn’t seem like enough power for the dimensions and weight of this beast.
On the inside, red leather seats, a 3D digital instrument panel, plus an Alpine premium navigation aided by a rear-view camera help out with comfortable and safe navigation within the urban environment. Speaking of which, the removable roof will add to the coolness of a Friday evening drive or simply help out while attacking the trails.
