Apocalypse Manufacturing and SoFlo Customs have revealed its first-ever custom electric off-roader. This is the Nirvana, a Rivian R1T with lifted suspension and an incredibly intimidating exterior. Apocalypse Manufacturing has a lot of experience in the truck field, creating some of the world’s most extreme pickups and SUVs. From six-wheeled Broncos to 1,000-horsepower off-roaders, the Florida-based outfitters can do almost anything.
But the Rivian is by far the most complex project the company has undertaken. Before we get into that, though, let’s look at the styling. Owner Joe Ghattas told The Drive that the Rivian’s styling is the one thing he disliked about the R1T.
“I would have never given that car a second thought,” said Ghattas. “It looks like a Kia on the outside. But jump in it, and it’s lightning fast, and the ride is really impressive. I was looking at this, and it has nearly 1,000 hp, does zero to 60 mph in like two seconds, but it’s ugly as sin on the outside, so that’s what we went to fix.”
