If you've ever dreamed about getting behind the wheel of a vehicle in pop culture
, you're not alone. We might be a long time away from vehicles like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, but we still have cars inspired by sci-fi. The Star Wars Edition Nissan Rogue is one example of this, and another is the Stormtrooper Jeep.
Just as its name indicates, the Stormtrooper Jeep is a Wrangler that has been modified to look like the iconic Star Wars Stormtroopers.
This is much more than a minor aesthetic change, though. According to Carscoops
, this Jeep has been modified for performance and luxury in addition to its Star War-inspired design. Who made the Stormtrooper Jeep?
Even though it might look like it comes from the Galaxy Far Far Away, the Stormtrooper Jeep actually does not come from anyone behind Star Wars. Instead, we can thank a company called Voltron Motors for this modified Wrangler.
At its base level, the Stormtrooper Jeep is a Wrangler Unlimited Sport that Voltron has customized with its Prestige Intimidator package. That name is more than appropriate for this beast of a Jeep.
Interestingly, little is known about Voltron Motors outside of the Stormtrooper Jeep. The company became somewhat of a viral hit in 2017 because of its Prestige Intimidator Wrangler. However, the company is kind of a mystery outside of their sci-fi Jeep masterpiece.
The Stormtrooper Jeep takes the Wrangler to the next level
How exactly did Voltron take a Jeep Wrangler and turn it into a car fit for a Stormtrooper? It starts with visual elements that give the Wrangler a more aggressive appearance.
The Stormtrooper Jeep was built to be taken off-road, so it features huge tires and Fox Racing Shocks. Voltron did not skimp on style for the wheels either, as each wheel has a gorgeous blue and white design. This blue and white scheme is also carried inside of the vehicle, which kind of makes it look like R2-D2 as well.
A Jeep of this magnitude would be incomplete without an upgraded sound system, and the Prestige Intimidator Wrangler does not disappoint. It features an Alpine speaker system to deliver high-quality audio to drivers and passengers.

A regular Wrangler is still cool
Voltron's Stormtrooper Jeep is a unique and stylish take on the classic Wrangler design. However, it's also a modification package that raises the price of the Wrangler significantly. The Voltron Motors Prestige Intimidator Wrangler comes in at a price of $59,900.
If you're in the market for a new Jeep Wrangler at a more reasonable price, Car and Driver
states that a base model costs $31,590. The Wrangler design is a classic, and even though it isn't as striking as the Stormtrooper Jeep, it's still appealing. In terms of reviews, the Wrangler ranks highly for its reliability and for being an overall fun SUV. Plus, if you're interested in a vehicle to take off-road, the Jeep Wrangler won't let you down.
