Prodrive's road-legal Hunter off-roader produces 600bhp and has a 0-62mph time of around four seconds. Read all the info on CAR Magazine.
Slightly more comfortable interior. It’s a heavily updated version of the company’s off-road racer, that's scheduled to compete in the 2022 Dakar rally with nine-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb at the helm.
It’s called simply the Hunter, and it’s powered by the same twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine as Loeb’s desert-bashing racer. However, where the Dakar car produces 400bhp, this road-legal model has 600bhp which Prodrive says is enough for a 0–62mph time of less than four seconds and a top speed of “almost 300km/h” .You’d be surprised, actually. The road-going Hunter’s suspension, brakes and space frame chassis are near-enough identical to the race car.
Dave Richards, the company’s chairman, said: “We took the deliberate decision to keep the Hunter Hypercar as close to the original as possible. It’s about giving owners the opportunity to experience what it is like to drive Loeb’s Dakar car across the desert, but with all the comforts of a road car and the ability to drive it from your home, through a city, to any destination of your choice.”Well, I suppose that depends on the context.
