INDESTRUCTIBLE. This Partisan One flat-pack box is actually a warzone SUV that can survive a BOMB – and comes with a 100 year warranty
FORGET the flowing lines of an Aston Martin or the luxury of a Rolls-Royce - this is the new kid on the block.
The boxy Partisan One might just be one of the most basic and ugliest cars ever.
The warzone ready SUV is limited to a steering wheel, pedals, lights and seats - and yet you'll still need to part with £44,000 for the privilege.

Farrow continued: “Over many years, many news organizations have circled this storyand faced a great deal of pressure in doing so. And there are now reports emerging publicly about the kinds of pressure that news organizations face in this.”
Farrow revealed that Weinstein’s lawyers threatened to sue him if he published his story. “In the course of this reporting, I was threatened with a lawsuit personally by Mr. Weinstein,” he said. “And we’ve already seen that the [New York] Times has been publicly threatened with...
