The apocalypse, if you're a member of the Mayan Book-a-Month Club, is only about two years away. That doesn't give you much time to start packing away necessary items to ward off zombies and the like, but you should still be able to spend a few minutes researching the right vehicle in which to ride out the world's impending doom.
Take a hand-built, 500-horsepower supercharged V8, add infour exhaust pipes exiting in pairs ahead of the rear wheels, slap on a simple squared-off body riding on a separate ladder-type chassis, toss in three locking differentials and two robust solid axles and then wrap the interior interior in leather.

There, you have it. The Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG. It's the most absurd vehicle on the market, but its ever-lasting appeal still manages to find plenty of buyers across the globe. Mercedes-Benz intended to kill off its rugged G-Class - the name stems from Gel dewagen, which is German for "over-land vehicle" - about a decade ago, but military contracts and well-heeled shoppers couldn't get enough of them, so production will continue for at least five more years.
The G was introduced all the way back in 1979 as a civilian model, although it didn't officially come to America until 2002 despite a plethora of gray market imports. Along the way, Mercedes has seen fit to equip it with a number of advanced features, but there's no denying that this is an old vehicle at its core. Measuring just 184.5 inches from head to toe, it is five inches shorter than a Jeep Grand Cherokee - already among the trimmest midsize 'utes.
