This modified Jeep Wrangler is rather unusual and if looks are anything to go by it could easily be the vehicle of choice for a Star Wars stormtrooper.

This Wrangler Unlimited Sport comes from Voltron Motors and is currently for sale on eBay. It features the tuning company’s ‘Prestige Intimidator’ upgrade package that comes with a host of performance-oriented upgrades, as well as a number of visual modifications.

There’s not much information on what is under the bonnet, except that the 4×4 is fitted with a 3.6-litre V6 mill and automatic transmission.

This Wrangler’s bodykit features massive off-road tyres fitted to wheels finished in blue and white, overhauled front and rear fascias and a bulging bonnet. Other upgrades include front and rear Fox Racing shocks and a 4-inch lift. Inside the navigation system has been upgraded and feautres Apple CarPlay and Alpine speakers have been fitted. The seats are cobolt blue custom diamond-stitched leather.

Usually a Jeep Wrangler Sport will start from $23 995 (about R324 400) but Voltron’s upgrades have pushed the asking price up to a whopping $59 900 (about R812 000).

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
