New Zealandâs WETA made a real Warthog for Neil Blomkampâs Halo movie pitch. The movie never went anywhere. But the Warthog? Itâs still around, still being driven by grown men dressed as Halo marines.

So whatâs it like?
Halo die-hards will be pleased to hear that the Warthog doesnât just look like the real thing, it drives like it, too. Built from the engine of an Aussie work truck (the Nissan Patrol), with full 4WD and a turbo, itâs got grunt.
Itâs also got the in-game vehicleâs wonky manoeuvrability, as the 4WD and custom-built chassis means that you can throw the Warthog sideways and itâll still drive.
