The Marauder is manufactured by the Paramount Group in the Republic of South Africa. The vehicle is an MRAP (mine-protected vehicle) and was featured in the first episode of Top Gear, Season 17. (LINK) It’s considered to be the most powerful civilian vehicle in the world and I don’t think that the claim is spurious.

If you’re driving the mean streets of Sinaloa State, Republic of Mexico, there really isn’t anything else to compare. It will stop a .50 BMG AP round fired anywhere on the vehicle and will defend against a Russian/Chicom rocket propelled anti-tank grenade (RPG-7). So I not only want one, I think that I need one…
Hell, I need one of those for my daily commute in DC 🙂
Old NFO, it would make the Leesburg Pike a whole lot more acceptable — and fun.
Is that the next LL Mobile?
Leather seats?
WoFat – I wish…
Opus #6 – I'm sure that you could pay extra.
I have some time behind the wheel of Oshkosh version, it was a happy place…we did some minor converstions, but the best – weld another step on the back, that is a far way down for the "appropriately sized operator."
Race – As a civilian ride, this monster would seem to be peerless. You'd be ready for the Zombies. In fact, let them come!!
Just go to your local dealer and get one then.
Well if you get one my son can repair it for you courtesy of the US Air Force…just sayin'
