The hyper-SUV segment, in the wake of the success achieved by the AMG G Klasse also with six wheels (prices exceed one million dollars) is taking on growing importance not only in the Gulf countries but also in the United States where nostalgia for the The iconic Hummer H1 is still alive.

The new monstrous Scarbo SV Rover (called Hypertruck as Americans like it) arrives right from California and brings it into this field - halfway between crazy off-road races and performances on Rodeo Drive - for the modest expense of over 1 million dollars a 4x4 with four huge steering wheels and a 6.2 V8 supercharged petrol engine with 1,100 HP.
The style of this very expensive off-road vehicle recalls that of the iconic Defender, the 'authentic' one discontinued in 2016, but with radical interventions based on aluminum and carbon panels.
What stands out above all are the enormous 'active' fenders - so defined by Scarbo because they are connected to the suspensions so that the 30-inch tires can never hit them - and a truncated tail reminiscent of the Dakar prototypes.
“The SV Rover sets a new limit in terms of power, handling and off-road capability – said Joe Scarbo, CEO of Scarbo Performance – and we are thrilled to unveil this revolutionary vehicle, which combines the nostalgia of classic British design with the power and modern technology made in the USA to offer a driving experience that goes beyond any other performance truck."
