Ineos Automotive has unveiled its inaugural local special project build—a unique dual-cab truck designed for adventure enthusiasts. This bespoke vehicle, developed in collaboration with a selection of Australian accessory suppliers, exemplifies rugged versatility.
The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster ‘Kaiju’ stands as the quintessential overlanding rendition of the British-engineered, French-manufactured utility vehicle, showcasing the extensive customization options available to prospective owners.
The name ‘Kaiju,’ which translates to "giant creature" or "monster" in Japanese, nods to Australia’s affinity for modified Japanese four-wheel drives, subtly hinting at the cultural significance of this amalgamation.
Currently, CarExpert presents a plethora of new automobile deals for discerning buyers looking to secure advantageous offers.
Built upon the sturdy all-black Grenadier Quartermaster Cab Chassis Trialmaster Edition, the Kaiju boasts an array of off-road enhancements sourced from noted suppliers, including Norweld, Rhino Rack, Brown Davis, REDARC, JMACX, GME, BF Goodrich, MAXTRAX, and STEDI.
For those interested, a comprehensive list of the additional features can be found at the story’s conclusion.
When quizzed about the price of such an elaborate vehicle, Ineos Automotive’s head of the APAC region, Justin Hocevar, indicated a projected starting cost of "north of $150k," possibly approaching the $200k mark.
For context, the base price for a standard Grenadier Quartermaster Cab Chassis Trialmaster Edition begins at $115,000 before on-road expenses, which remains constant regardless of the choice between the inline-six turbo-petrol or turbo-diesel engines.
At present, customers cannot acquire a Grenadier Quartermaster Cab Chassis through conventional dealer channels. However, the company has committed to extending the vehicle’s warranty to encompass selected aftermarket components from approved accessory partners, provided they are purchased through authorized retailers.
The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Kaiju will be prominently featured at various promotional events across Australia in the upcoming months.
