How to clean a $750k armoured car after a zombie apocalypse

It’s Halloween – but instead of dancing to the Monster Mash we’ve arranged a zombie apocalypse.  Because only Top Gear can get a horde of zombies to mess up a $750k armoured car with blood, guts and a lost ear. And then clean it up afterwards.

In the latest instalment of Top Gear: Speed Cleans, a very expensive, very big, very heavy Rezvani Vengeance effectively rolls straight into a dystopian graphic novel. It’s part luxury lounge, part rolling fortress – and tonight, it’s party host to the undead.

Under the armour sits a 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 – with a supercharged option if subtlety isn’t your thing – backed up by steel ramming bumpers, front and rear winches, and glass thick enough to stop bullets. Defensive tricks? Electrified door handles, onboard pepper spray, retina-scorching light bars, strobe arrays and a siren that could wake the dead – which we may have. Thankfully it’s bulletproof and mine-resistant.

To make the horror sing, we drafted in Hollywood veteran Gary J. Tunnicliffe – VFX artist, gore maestro, and a man who considers “light splatter” a missed opportunity. Gary gives the Vengeance the full nightmare treatment: congealed blood trails, bite marks, shattered-but-not-shattered (bulletproof) glazing, and an alarming quantity of faux viscera artfully woven into the grille.

Then comes the cleansing. Four hours on the clock. A detailing crew armed with snow foam, disinfectant, and enough microfibre to dry a jumbo jet. So click play above for the full Halloween carnage – one Rezvani Vengeance, one ticking clock, and one man determined to prove that even after a zombie apocalypse, there’s always time for a proper wash and wax.
