10 Best Apocalyptic Vehicles
Global warming. Faltering economies. Dwindling resources. Mankind has finally set in motion environmental, political and social policies that will surely destroy the world as we know it.
Not everyone will fall. Those who survive will roam the scorched wasteland to fend for themselves against the predatory undead while scavenging what they can to survive. The end of days is at hand, and the only question is this: What will you drive when it all comes tumbling down?

Toyota FJ40 丰田FJ40
The FJ is Toyota's answer to the Jeep CJ, and flame wars between fanboys of the two vehicles will continue long after the apocalypse begins. The consensus is the Toyota will take more abuse -- a big plus when roaming the desolation -- but it's harder to fix when something goes sideways. Fortunately, it's a Toyota, so you'll break before it will.
Unimog 最强悍的越野车辆乌尼莫克
Intimidating mass to frighten zombies? Check. Absurd ground clearance to crush your foes? Check. Room for several crates of black-market MREs and barrels of pilfered fuel? Check. When it comes to planning for the apocalypse, those Germans know their stuff. But this Benz-built beast gets a paltry 13 mpg, so you're going to spend a lot of time scavenging fuel.

The Ural Patrol has two-wheel drive, it climbs like a goat and damn near everything on it can be repaired with a hammer, a screwdriver and duct tape. If it was good enough for the Russian armies, it's good enough for post-apocalyptic road warriors.
VW's Concept T 大众T概念车

Roam the wastelands in style! The Concept T has a heads-up display to keep you focused on the zombie horde ahead, the ground clearance to handle those who don't get out of the way and a top speed of 140 to escape the inevitable attack. The challenge will be getting one -- you'll have to break into the smoldering remains of VW's HQ to snag it.
登高轻型运输车（德文：Allschutz-Transport-Fahrzeug Dingo；简称ATF Dingo），是德国一款军用运输装甲车。 “ATF Dingo”暂未有正式中文译名，这里的“登高”是音译。

The Dingo will haul 3.5 tons of looted bounty; it's more heavily armored than a bank vault and it comes with your choice of a 7.62mm machine gun or a 40mm grenade launcher. As if that weren't sweet enough, it's got air conditioning! Global warming? What global warming?
A Unicycle 独轮自行车

Go ahead and laugh. Unicycles aren't very fast and you can't carry much, but they're cheap, they're reliable and you won't have to scavenge fuel. What's more, with both hands free you'll have no trouble firing your rocket-propelled grenade.
Jeep_CJ.jpg
The Jeep CJ (or Civilian Jeep) was a commercial version of the famous Military Jeep from World War II(二战后的著名军用吉普车). The first CJ (the CJ-2) was introduced in 1944。
第一款民用Jeep车型CJ-2A产于1945年。
在美国汽车公司（AMC）购买了Kaiser公司之后的1976年，JEEP推出了有史以来最为引以自豪的车型--CJ-7。
Ubiquity is a desirable quality in an Apocalypsemobile, and Jeeps are everywhere. What's more, their questionable reliability means abandoned Chrysler dealerships will have tons of parts. The closest that most Jeep-owning poseurs come to off-roading is parking on the grass -- so let the zombies fight for the new ones while you hit the local frat house and score a gently used model that's probably never even seen dirt.
The Interceptor 福特Interceptor

"Last of the V8 Interceptors, eh?" Not everyone is lucky enough to be an Aussie ex-cop with access to a garage containing one of these, but if you're handy with the steel you might be able to smoke the guy who is. This down under Ford Falcon-based muscle car, complete with hood-popping blower, is not exactly easy on the fuel, but if you're rolling in the original Apocalypsemobile, you've probably got what it takes to score a few gallons from anyone in the wasteland.
Stryker.jpg
Unfriendly survivors trying to keep you out of their water source? No problem: They're going to have to do a little better than that jerry-rigged wall of salvaged timber and corrugated steel if they want to keep you out. When you absolutely, positively need to kill everything between here and the horizon, it's tough to beat the Stryker. If you want one, you might start in Iraq. Most of these eight-wheelers are serving over there.
对于美军第一支过渡旅战斗队的新型装备,大家都有着浓厚的兴趣,可不少同志却对它的名字“Stryker”感到不解:“这代表什么意思呢?读起来还这么拗口。”其实,“Stryker”车的命名还是有它的深层含义:它是两位美军士兵的名字。
Stuart S.Stryker,二战中美军第513空降团的一名上士,在德国威悉河附近的一次战斗中,领导队友俘获德军200余名,并成功解救出3名美国飞行员,而他本人则为此献出了宝贵的生命,后被追授荣誉勋章;Robert F. Stryker,越战中美军第1步兵师上等兵,作战勇敢无畏,因挽救战友生命而英勇献身,被追授荣誉勋章。为了纪念这两位忠诚、无私的战士,美国陆军于 2002年2月27日正式宣布将新型过渡装甲车辆命名为“Stryker”,希望以此激发美军士兵的勇气和保卫国家的义务。
值得一提的是,美军很少以士兵的名字来命名装甲车辆,目前已知的只有以著名士兵约克中士命名的“约克中士”自行高炮,不巧的是,这种自行高炮的研制虽历时 7年、耗资18亿美元,却在样车阶段就夭折了。因此,“Stryker”装甲车是美军第一次以士兵名字命名而装备部队的装甲车辆。
“Stryker”装甲车的中译名称较多,如“斯崔克”装甲车、“斯特赖克”装甲车、“斯特瑞克”装甲车等等。通常对武器装备都采用意译的方法,但 “Stryker”指代人名,因此只能采用音译的方法,所以就出现了很多种不同的翻译方法,这似乎也说明“Stryker”这两位士兵的名字终久敌不过 “谢尔曼”、“巴顿”、“布雷德利”等将领的名头响亮。
Volkswagen Beetle 大众甲壳虫

The VW Beetle is the Swiss Army knife and Timex watch of cars -- you can do anything with it and no amount of abuse will kill it. When Armageddon comes and the last man falls, the only thing left will be the cockroaches and the Beetles.
