Ramsmobile’s RM-X2 Protos is a go-anywhere cell fortress

What provides supercar efficiency and pace akin to a race automotive (or Baja truck), go-anywhere all-terrain functionality, unmatched luxurious and accessible Kevlar-reinforced armoring? Nothing, but. But when New Mexico’s Ramsmobile will get its manner, the RM-X2 Protos would be the reply to all the above.

An professional at tuning Hummers, Ramsmobile refers back to the RM-X2 Protos as a “Multipurpose Hypercar,” and for as soon as, that looks as if extra than simply advertising and marketing hyperbole. Ramsmobile designed the RM-X2 Protos to go well with nearly each want, and did it with a navy flare to the styling to again up a frankly ridiculous suite of configurations and capabilities. In actual fact, while you boil it down, the RM-X2 Protos is not only one automotive; it is really three (with a fourth on the best way).

At its core, the RM-X2 is a carbon-composite physique using on a hydro-pneumatic suspension that includes titanium parts. It may be powered by one among three totally different powertrains: gasoline, diesel or electrical. Gasoline energy comes from a Basic Motors-sourced LT5 6.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-Eight; GM additionally supplies a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine paired to an Allison transmission when you favor oil-burning energy. The specifics of the electrical powertrain weren’t supplied, however we suspect it will be a four-motor unit primarily based on the built-in redundancy of nearly all the pieces else described in Ramsmobile’s presentation.

Matching the Humvee-inspired exterior, the RM-X2 is obtainable with dual-bead-lock rims central tire inflation. You will get it with mud- or all-terrain tires, relying in your wants. It is provided with a part-time four-wheel-drive system with both handbook or digital shift-on-the-fly, and when all your four-wheel motivation choices have been exhausted (whether or not as a result of your tires have been shot out from underneath you or the terrain simply will get too bizarre), the RM-X2 can be accessible with a middle observe drive. For those who’re picturing an enormous, carbon fiber Humvee snowmobile being pursued by the tundra by Bond villains, effectively, bingo.

Oh, and it will get higher. As a result of composite building and ultra-light suspension parts, Ramsmobile says the automobile will float. Hey, why not?

Ramsmobile desires to supply variants known as “Ascetic,” “Satan,” “God” and Ramsider, or the RM-X2A, RM-X2D, RM-X2G and RM-X2R, respectively. Ramsmobile’s pitch particulars the -A, -D and -R variants, with God ready within the wings.

Ascetic is your base mannequin, offering “the required minimal facilities,” together with the twin-turbo V-Eight. Ramsmobile says this variant will verify in at simply three,300 kilos with out choices. This variant seats 4. The Satan provides the middle observe together with gold trim. In sure variants (we assume electrical), it’s provided as a six-seater with no middle tunnel.

The Ramsider is the place issues get actually ridiculous. Provided in B6 to B7 up-armor variants, that is your dream bug-out automobile. The body, skid plates and undercarriage are Teflon-coated to enhance mobility and the monocoque is hermetic to forestall, effectively, no matter it’s you think about you’d want that for. Oh, and the glass is bulletproof, naturally, and central tire inflation can be customary.

How a lot will all this price? This can be a automobile with a middle observe drive; you suppose potential patrons will fear themselves with foolish issues like pricing?
