AstroBionix was still putting decals on the Thor Ultimate Deployment Vehicle, a 600-horsepower, all-wheel-drive rig built by Italian coach builder Fornasari, when we snapped this pic from the Geneva auto-show floor. Imagine a real-life Warthog from “Halo.”

The Austrian firm says it does something with space technology. I’d be more specific but my brain started hurting about the time they mentioned “turn-key solutions for a wide range of projects spanning from space-based biotech research….”

Whatever. Thor certainly is the first vehicle to sport Kelvar body panels and options for the Jaws of Life, night vision, land-mine detection and refrigerated transport of human organs.

Power comes from a 7.0-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed transmission; AstroBionix claims a top speed of 174 mph. No word on how many cup holders Master Chief gets.
