- This crazy Land Rover has been put into the garage of a buyer in Jacksonville, Florida.
- We developed a new suspension system that allows 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 no wonder that more and more aftermarket specialists are coming up with crazy six-wheeled vehicles. Apocalypse Manufacturing of Pompano Beach, Florida, is synonymous with these 6×6 conversions, and this one is the company’s latest creation, and it’s pretty daring.
To create the craziest 6×6 yet, Apocalypse took a Land Rover Defender and transformed it into what it calls “Doomsday.” It cut off the chassis, then lengthened it and added a third axle, as well as two extra wheels. Importantly, unlike some cheaper 6×6 conversions, the two extra wheels aren’t just for travel, but are driven, meaning this is a true six-wheel drive vehicle.

The changes go far beyond just adding a set of wheels. The Florida company completely reworked the Defender’s suspension setup, allowing the ride height to be raised or lowered by eight inches at the touch of a button. It also features 20-inch military-style wheels, which are paired with giant 38-inch tires that should make for easy traversal of the toughest off-road sections.
The Land Rover has undergone various modifications to its body and now has new flared fenders, skid plates, side steps and a roll cage, as well as a bright orange bumper up front. LED spotlights are mounted next to the roof rack, while the rear gets a sports bar and a full-size spare wheel and tire.
Powering this behemoth is the Defender’s standard 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine, which produces 518 horsepower and 461 pound-feet (625 Newton-meters) of torque. It’s unclear how much the World Ender weighs, but it’s obviously a lot heavier than a typical Defender, which will affect its straight-line performance.
The vehicle you’re looking at has already been delivered to a customer in Jacksonville, Florida, but Apocalypse is happy to build other Defender 6x6s as long as the customer is willing to pay at least $374,999 for this major modification.
