- This crazy Land Rover has been added to the garage of a buyer in Jacksonville, Florida.
- A new suspension system has been developed, allowing the ride height to be adjusted by up to eight inches.
- New leather has been added to the cabin, but other than that, the interior remains OEM.
In the minds of many car enthusiasts, bigger is better, so it’s little wonder why more and more aftermarket specialists are releasing insane six-wheeled creations. Few names are more synonymous with these 6×6 conversions than Apocalypse Manufacturing out of Pompano Beach, Florida. This is its newest creation, and boy, is it bold.
Eager to create the craziest 6×6 imaginable, Apocalypse has taken a Land Rover Defender and transformed it into what it dubs the ‘World Ender.’ It has chopped the chassis before extending it and adding a third axle, alongside two extra wheels. Importantly, and unlike some cheaper 6×6 conversions out there, the two extra wheels aren’t simply along for the ride and are driven, meaning this is a proper six-wheel drive vehicle.

The changes go far beyond an extra set of wheels. The Florida firm has overhauled the Defender’s suspension setup, allowing the ride height to be raised and lowered 8 inches at the touch of a button. It has also been fitted with 20-inch military-style wheels clad in gargantuan 38-inch tires and should breeze through the most difficult off-road trails imaginable.
Various changes have been made to the Land Rover’s body and there are now new flared fenders, skid plates, side steps and rock sliders, and a bright orange bulbar up front. LED spotlights have been mounted to the roof alongside a roof rack, while found at the rear are sports bars and a full-size spare wheel and tire in the bed.
Driving this behemoth is the standard 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that’s offered with the Defender, pumping out 518 hp and 461 lb-ft (625 Nm) of torque. There’s no word on how much the World Ender weighs, but it’s obviously quite a bit heavier than a typical Defender, which will impact its straight-line performance.
The example you’re looking at has already been delivered to a customer in Jacksonville, Florida, but Apocalypse will be happy to build other Defender 6x6s, as long as customers are willing to pony up at least $374,999 for the dramatic conversion.
