You’re aware of the Jeep Wrangler, right? Imagine what that car would look like if it had the temper of a hormonal teenager and styling inspired by the frightening furnace from Home Alone.
Enter the SoFlo Speedster—a custom-built pickup version of the Wrangler with a chopped body, sports suspension, massive 40-inch tires, 22-inch alloy wheels, and a whacking great 6.4-liter HEMI V8 that’s had an ECU flash to make 567hp. Now, that’s quite something.
Built by SoFlo Customs in the US, the two-seat Speedster gets a ridiculously aggressive ‘HellFire Grumper 2.0’ grille that you may recognize from SoFlo’s sister company, Apocalypse Manufacturing. There’s also a custom steel rollcage, Dana 44-inch axles with electronic locking differentials, and arch extensions that could have doubled as a king’s dining table.

Oh, and you can remove the doors and the roof panels for the proper Speedster experience, with the interior retrimmed to protect it from the elements.
“The Speedster’s drive bests a Corvette, without the driver ever worrying about curbing the rims or even caring if it starts raining when the top is off,” says SoFlo Customs founder Joseph Ghattas. He sounds confident, although you’d have to be to come up with something like this.
“This is a vehicle that challenges the automotive industry to rethink pickup trucks and SUVs, viewing them not just as rugged machines, but as high-performance sports cars that fair great on- and off-road,” he adds.
Prices for the Speedster start at $99,999 (P5.797 million before taxes), with ‘fully loaded’ examples costing $129,000 (P7.478 million before taxes). No word on whether that includes the base Wrangler, but it’s not like there are many left once SoFlo has done its thing.
