A luxury pick-up with ballistic armour, a smoke screen and door handles that can shock would-be hijackers sounds like a movie prop - except it's being sold in California for a quarter of a million dollars. Rezvani/dpaThe Rezvani Fortress is a pick-up monstrosity which seems like the ideal car for people who believe the end of civilization is nigh.Based on the uprated Raptor version of the Ford F-150 pick-up, it features the kind of aggressively angular bodywork you would expect from a manufacturer whose other models include an SUV called "tank" and a sports car badged as "beast".The vehicle is billed as a "tactical off-road super truckbuilt to dominate" and aimed at high-net-worth individuals looking for extreme luxury combined with apocalypse-ready survival features.AdvertisementAdvertisementYou could call it the most aggressive car in the world, since one option is electrified door handles that give unwanted passengers a shock to stop them from getting in.The company, which is based in Irvine, California and gets its name from founder Ferris Rezvani, says production is capped at just 100 units globally and prices start at $285,000 for the entry level version with an 850-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.The Fortress lives up to its name with the latest in ballistics armour capable of stopping rounds from high-calibre weapons and assault rifles. The radiator, battery and fuel tank are all wrapped in Kevlar. The underside is also protected against explosive devices.For an extra charge customers can order a package that includes armoured body panels, bulletproof glass and a hardened fuel tank.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdditional protection includes reinforced suspension and puncture-proof run-flat tires. The wheel wells can house up to 20-inch wheels and ground clearance is a whopping 38 centimetres.For those who still feel uneasy when out and about, Rezvani says there is a smoke screen system to deter pursuers and a reinforced steel ram front bumper to shove obstacles aside.Tick the box for a safety package and you also get blinding strobe lights, an infrared night vision system, a pepper spray system and even an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection package.The latter is the last word in safeguarding sensitive electronics and electrical infrastructure from an EMP of the kind usually unleashed by a nuclear detonation or a massive solar event. Such things can permanently fry or disable electrical components, microchips and the power grid.AdvertisementAdvertisementIf the only option left is to flee into the wilderness, the off-grid package ensures autonomy, the manufacturer says. A portable power station, solar panels and a petrol generator provides electricity to aid in your survival.The Fortress pick-up lives up to its name with the latest in ballistics armour capable of stopping high calibre weapons and assault rifles.
