600-hp Prodrive Hunter, The ‘World’s First All-terrain Hypercar’ Unveiled, Starts At $1.6 Million
600-horsepower Prodrive Hunter, the ‘World’s First All-terrain Hypercar’ unveiled.
Hunter has unrivalled performance across any landscape, including desert sand, dunes and rough mountain tracks.
The pricey vehicle will cost £1.25 million ($1.6 million) plus local taxes (₦680.5 million, excluding local taxes in Nigeria).
The first customers will receive their 600-hp Prodrive Hunter All-terrain Hypercar later in 2022.
British manufacturer Prodrive has revealed the Hunter, a 600-horsepower, four-wheel drive all-terrain adventure vehicle with an unrivalled ability and performance across any landscape, including desert sand, dunes, rough mountain tracks and urban environment.
The Hunter, dubbed the dubbed the “world’s first all-terrain hypercar”, is based on the Bahrain Raid Xtreme competition car driven by nine-time World Champion, Sebastien Loeb, which took part in the Dakar Rally.
Just like the car it is based on, the four-wheel drive Hunter features an uprated 3.5-litre V6-turbo engine, that produces 600 brake horsepower (more than 50%) and 700Nm of torque.
The World’s first all-terrain hypercar will reportedly have a 0-100 kilometres per hour time of less than four seconds and a top speed of 300kph.
Hunter comes equipped with bespoke 35-inch off-road tyres, specifically designed to optimise grip over rough terrain and sand rather than on tarmac.
Company chairman David Richards said the new arrival’s ability to go anywhere was key to its appeal.
“There are numerous hypercars on the market, however they all need good roads or even race tracks to show their performance,”
“We identified that in certain parts of the world, particularly the Middle East, there are vast expanses still to be explored that go way beyond the access provided by asphalt roads.
“Therefore, why not create a vehicle that gives the opportunity to explore these regions with performance way beyond that offered by any off-road vehicle before?”
The first development version of the Hunter is currently touring the Middle East, where prospective customers are being offered the opportunity of driving the Hunter and confirming their personal specification.
The Prodrive Hunter will cost £1.25 million plus local taxes (₦680.5 million, excluding local taxes), and the first customers will receive their vehicles later in 2022.
