BodyGuard And V-Guard

Two new bad ass SUV’s from Abu Dhabi have come to take the Hummer down a peg or two and with pant wettingly huge bhp figures (and ride heights!) It looks like they might be the Terminators new vehicle of choice! They are from a company called Alanqa and sound like they were named as an homage to Kevin Costner.

The Bodyguard (left) and the V-Guard (right) have a 620 hp Corvette V8, which will haul the mammoth 2,400kg beasts to 60 mph in about seven seconds and onto 130 mph. 130 mph off road must be insane!

Not much is known yet because they are having a big unveiling at the Dubai motor show next week, I wonder if it is to late to try and book flights to Dubai?  What is known however is that they have huge 200 litre fuel tanks so even at an abysmal 8 mpg they will still be able to cover 466 miles. I would imagine however that whoever buys one of these very exclusive vehicles (only 100 made a year) will either be from Abu Dhabi anyway and probably own their own petrol company or be the governor of an American state. Prices start at £75,000 and go up to a whopping £200,000 depending on what pimping gadgets you want.
