Military vehicles do have a certain sense of being cool and powerful, and that is why the muscular Knight XV evokes interest. Canada based manufacturer, Conquest Vehicles Inc., debuted their flagship vehicle at SEMA. Built with the Gurkha military vehicle as an inspiration, this armored luxury SUV has a long list of accessories and gadgets that include Wilton wool carpeting, leather interiors, 6-way seating, Alpine DVD navigation and Bluetooth, night vision and PS3.

Power comes from a bio-fuel powered 6.8-l V-10 that endows this SUV with 400hp and 498 lb-ft of torque. Each SUV takes about 1,500 man-hours to be hand-built, and you can always expect this to be in the range of exclusivity with only 100 units being made, each carrying a price tag of $489,000 USD.
