Do you need to get all ur family members n ancestors straight to silver bird cinemas and there a field of cars between you and your destination? No worries: Big Toyz Racing Motors has you covered with the million-dollar Sin City Hustler...lol, this is one monster. Trying to imagine one of this on lagos road...crush away!

The Sin City Hustler started life as a 2001 Ford Excursion. It was then stretched to 32 feet. From there it was hand built, over a period of around three years, into what we see today: the world’s longest monster truck and 4x4 luxury vehicle.

The "monster" part is accurate: The Hustler stands 12 feet tall and weighs in at a gargantuan 15,000 pounds. The Big Toyz team installed a 521 cubic-inch Ford big-block engine which is rated at around 700 hp. There was discussion during the project about whether to add a blower, which would increase power output to 1,200 horses … good motivation to move the 66-inch tires.

Aside from the limo shell, the truck is completely customized. “We spared no expense when it came to building the Sin City Hustler,” said Brad Campbell, owner of Big Toyz Racing Motors. “From its custom 521 cubic-inch big-block motor and hand-built chassis, to its design with hundreds of one-off billet parts and show quality paint, this one-of-a-kind monster truck is nothing short of spectacular.”

Passengers can enter through any of the original vehicle’s four doors or through the airplane-style stairway that folds down from the back of the truck. Twelve custom seats make up the bulk of the interior, which rides above the truck’s 12 batteries.

Despite being a one-off, Big Toyz says the Sin City Hustler is still a fully capable monster truck with a sturdy, reliable frame and parts. And don’t worry about hurting it, they say: when you spend the million to buy it, the Big Toyz crew includes enough new parts to almost completely rebuild the vehicle.

The person who does end up buying the Hustler will have the option of wholly refinishing the interior to suit their tastes and needs, according to Big Toyz. The truck also comes with the option of rewrapping the exterior, giving it advertising and business opportunities...talk about mixing business with pleasure.

All that money spent building this truck, and it ends up with bald tyres. Look at the last picture, the front tyres are wearing pretty thin on the outer shoulder.
