Think race car for the road and the cliche quickly turns to the likes of 911 GT3s and Lamborghini Huracan STOs, but the guys and gals at Prodrive have other ideas: meet the Hunter BRX T1+ Hypercar, the ‘road car’ version of the Dakar racer it built for nine-time World Rally Champion Sebastian Loeb.
Built around the same high tensile steel chassis as the dune basher, the Hunter BRX T1+ is powered by the same 3.5-litre twin-turbo Ford V6 as the competition car, retaining that car’s dry sump lubrication, but with no legislation to adhere to the power is increased by more than 50 per cent to over 600bhp with 516lb ft of torque accompanying it. The six-speed gearbox is also carried over, although the sequential manual shift system has been replaced with paddles for smoother operation.
A development car is currently earning its keep and entertaining potential customers on a tour of the Middle East ahead of the first deliveries later in 2022. And the price? £1.25m plus local taxes.
Nice, a car that is not meant to be taken on the road has been given road legal status. Going to the opera will no longer be hindered by damage to the asphalt.
So this is where the Local Motors prototypes all went.
