Italy-based Militem has unveiled its newest creation, the FERŌX500, which is based on the Jeep Wrangler. The FERŌX500 began life as a premium Wrangler Rubicon 392 but has now received a slew of improvements to both spruce up its appearance and boost its performance.

Those who want to get their hands on a model will have to pay €149,500 ($158,000) for it. Each model comes with a 36-month, 100,000-kilometer warranty.

For starters, there's an eye-catching front-end body makeover with an upgraded bumper and grille. Militem also widened the wheel arches and constructed a new bonnet with a huge air intake. Mudflaps, an LED band in the front bumper, frontal parking sensors, electronically retractable running boards, and tinted LEDs are also included on the Wrangler.

The 22x9.5-inch forged wheels with 325/50 rubber are one of the most eye-catching improvements. As an alternative, 20x10-inch wheels with all-terrain tires are available. The spare wheel has been removed, and unique quad exhausts have been added to the back end.

The FERŌX500's brakes are likewise a significant increase over the normal Wrangler Rubicon 392's brake system. 370 mm discs with six-piston calipers are found in the front, while 370 mm discs with four-piston calipers are found in the back.

Inside, redesigned front seats have been installed, which are covered in a mix of black and red Nappa/Alcantara leather. The dash, instrument panel, door panels, and lining of the baggage area are all wrapped in the new leather.
