Dune Racer

6,666 LEOPARDtec  5.1 years ago

This machine is a one-off, experimental design for dune racing and off road driving in general.
Key points:
. It's custom suspension system helps mitigate the affects of the terrain
. It's engine which produces 225 BHP supplies the power needed for the vehicle to be competitive without being uncontrollable
. The roll cage protects the driver and co-driver should an accident occur
. The wing improves aerodynamics, making the car more controllable
. Front and real lights enable it to run at all hours of the day

This build took me quite a while but I'm proud of the outcome, especially since it was supposed to be something else entirely :)
