Rezvani Hercules 6X6, sorry, Hummer what...?

The name Rezvani may not sound familiar at all, but this is not the first time, and we are certain it will not be the last, that the manufacturer of vehicles with American military inspiration appears on our website, especially if it does so with outrageous proposals such as the self-proclaimed god (or goddess, depending on the translation) of all trucks, the Rezvani Hercules 6×6, “The god of all trucks”.

This manufacturer, which makes Hummer look tame, both in its first stage and now with the GMC Hummer EV pick-up and its adaptation of military vehicles to civilian use, proposes vehicles such as the Rezvani Tank X with 1,000 CV of power and 1,180 Nm of torque but “only” four wheels, which could well be part of the fleet of the Navy Seals or, at the very least, appear in filming for series in the style of Seal Team. The point is that it is the ideal vehicle for one of these elite warriors, both inside and outside the battlefield.

And if it has six wheels, we do not know if it will be better, but there is no doubt that it will command even more respect, whether from the “enemies of freedom” or from the poor driver of any fashionable SUV with which one of these Rezvani Hercules 6×6 might share a red light at a traffic light.

Rezvani Hercules 6×6 versus all the others

It is undeniable that these outrageous off-roaders with three wheels on each side come to mind when seeing Rezvani’s new proposal. But both the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 and the Hennessey Goliath 6×6 retain a degree of sanity in their proposals, the first for being the best luxury off-roader and the second for being the extreme off-road pick-up. But giving birth to a concept of a pick-up truck based on a military-looking and military-built XUV, now with six wheels and up to 1,318 CV of power, is taking things to the extreme.

In fact, one could say that this Hercules 6×6 is a Tank X with a cargo bed added behind the rear row, adding a length of 2.4 meters, which makes this pick-up no less than 6.2 meters long.

Width and height are not left behind either, since, thanks to new panels over the front axle wheels, it now reaches almost 2.3 meters wide and stands 2 meters tall, and partly thanks to the specialist Fox Racing suspension, this tank with a cargo bed becomes the most radical off-road pick-up truck ever seen.

To move this vehicle, the manufacturer has turned to the FCA-sourced engines that power, for example, the Challenger SRT V8 or the 1,500 TRX. The most modest unit is the 3.6-liter V6 with 289 CV, then the 6.4-liter V8 with 507 CV and, finally, the also V8 but 7-liter supercharged unit that produces 1,318 CV.

The gearbox can be a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic and must manage a drivetrain that can operate as 6×6, 6×4 or 6×2 depending on driving conditions.

The starting price of the cheapest Rezvani Hercules 6×6 is from 225,000 dollars, and from 325,000 for the variant that features the Military Edition, with the most powerful engine, which includes elements typical of an armored vehicle, such as armored body panels or windows protected against firearms, reinforcement against explosions, run-flat tires, thermal night-vision cameras or electromagnetic pulse generators, approved by the United States Department of Defense and, even, some practical gas masks…
