*The real-life warthog is still a concept, which has a top speed of 145mph and a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds. | |||
*The concept warthog can make a jump of 102.2m without the use of a ramp. | |||
*The concept is powered by a 9L, ZERO8 ('0' shape) liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE motor with additional electric motors in all four wheels. | |||
*The concept can be run on diesel, petroleum, water of most kinds (excluding water with over 80% mud/dirt) and most liquids (as long as they are not flammable). | |||
*The 'Hog can travel 2251km before a refuel is required. | |||
*At 3m wide, 3m high and 5.2m long the 'Hog is no small-fry. | |||
*Large 18" by 14.5" rims are fitted to give the hog amazing balance. | |||
*If by chance the 'Hog ends up on the side or roof, it can level itself again with the push of a button using unique 'spasms' techniques. | |||
*The 'Hog is bullet proof, grenade, RPG and common warefare mines safe. Passangers are also protected very well despite the lack of a sealed roof or doors. | |||
*The 'Hog will not damage even if dropped from above 366m or submerged in water. | |||
*No CD player is installed, but an ipod connection and powerful radio are. | |||
*More updates to come! | |||
