Yahoo Autos Torsus builds a monster-truck school bus even adults will want to ride in
Riding in a yellow school bus is part of growing up for many Americans, but it's an experience most of us are happy to leave behind the minute we get a driver's license. Czech Republic-based firm Torsus has unveiled a giant bus named Praetorian that was built for off-roading, and we wouldn't mind hitching a ride in it even as adults.
Shaped like the box it came in, and styled like something from the Matchbox catalog, the Praetorian is one of the most extreme factory-built school buses we've ever seen. It's equipped with a bull bar, over a dozen roof-mounted LED lights, and Michelin tires that wouldn't look out of place on mining equipment. Although the odds of encountering other vehicles on the type of school run this bus was designed for are rather low, Torsus didn't forget to add the little flip-out stop sign that tells other motorists that kids are about to cross the street.
