Travis Scott’s car collection? It’s pretty lit. It includes everything from a Lamborghini Aventador SV, decked out in his favorite color (brown, naturally), which starts at a cool $500K, to a Bugatti Chiron he copped for his 28th birthday —which cost a staggering $3.3 million for the 2022 model. However, Travis might have just one-upped himself.
Forget sports cars; the Houston native has decided to take his doomsday prep to a whole new level. Enter Apocalypse Manufacturing (and their sister company SoFlo Customs), who’ve whipped up a custom monster truck that looks like it could survive the end of the world—in style. Perfect for the king of rage, right?
Who’s behind Travis’ latest car purchase?
Since the pandemic, Apocalypse has been making waves in the automobile world with their custom builds. They’ve earned a reputation for turning heads, crafting unique trucks for a stacked client list, including Drake — who got a zebra leather interior for his Apocalypse Super Truck 4×4 — and Shaq, who decked out his Apocalypse TRX with plenty of “Superman” logos.
What made Travis want to cop it?
Scott saw Apocalypse’s Omega Rex truck on Dupont Registry (where you can find some of the world’s most exclusive cars for sale) and knew it had to be his.
“He saw one on Dupont that caught his eye because of the color, I believe. It’s a wet desert sand color called Gobi. Most of his cars are of that same variety, like Gobi or a brownish-beige. He liked that, and he basically contacted us and wanted that truck as quickly as possible. Of course, we didn’t know why, but then he released a song called “4×4,” so maybe it has something to do with that? Probably,” the representative said.

How was Travis’ custom 4×4 truck made?
Scott’s latest purchase is something special: the final limited edition Hemi Hellcat V8 Horsepower Apocalypse Omega Rex. It’s not just any truck—it’s a beast that puts the typical Texas pickup to shame, requiring serious craftsmanship to come together.
According to a representative for Apocalypse, the company first started by disassembling the RAM 1500 TRX truck. The disassembled version becomes the framework for their elevated customization, which balances durability with luxury. If you’re familiar with cars, you may have spotted the un-customized RAM truck in Scott’s “4×4” music video during the highway car chase scene.
Building the Omega Rex is no small feat. According to an Apocalypse representative, the modifications are extensive:
- 150+ hours of craftsmanship, including sanding and reshaping wheel cradles.
- 40-inch tires with 22-inch rims, featuring a -72 offset and a massive 15.5-inch tire footprint.
- Redesigned wheel cradle, fenders, and front bumpers to allow smooth movement of the oversized tires.
“These adjustments ensure that the 40-inch tires can turn in any direction without rubbing,” an Apocalypse rep explained. “The car is going to drive absolutely incredible.”
Scott’s Apocalypse Omega Rex comes with some serious firepower:
- Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine pushing nearly 800 horsepower.
- Towering dimensions: 94 inches in height and 294 inches in length.
- 12,000-pound towing capacity for heavy-duty performance.
- Marine-grade leather interior because luxury should withstand any apocalypse.
“In all honesty, I think [Travis] saw something that he loved, and he wanted it,” the rep concluded. “He didn’t get too crazy with making it very specific to him because he saw something that already spoke to him.”
What makes Apocalypse and SoFlo special?
Apocalypse and SoFlo have been making a name for themselves for years by providing larger-than-life rides with unique style choices (ex. Changing the original “RAM” badging on the trucks to say “WAR” in honor of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) — and it seems that the trucks are only going to get more popular from here.
“These are upper-echelon vehicles, but we also sell to a lot of mom and pops. There’s a lot of mom and pops that buy it for business purposes because these cars are usually commercial vehicles and they are over 7000 pounds. They use it as a marketing tool … People want individuality … We build them for people who don’t want to be restricted. We build them for free thinkers. We build them for people who think a Lamborghini or a Ferrari is boring,” the representative said.
