While both Lamborghini and Porsche had the idea of launching an all-terrain four-wheel drive supercar, and even published concept cars like the Huracán Sterrato Concept more than once to test market acceptance; however, prodrive, a british tuning plant and car manufacturer, has not only made their concept a reality, bringing the Hunter for up to £1.25 million, but also positioned the original as an "all-terrain adventure vehicle " All-Terrain Adventure Vehicle" is actually a road version of the Dakar Rally!
Lamborghini's Huracán Sterrato Concept, which was exhibited in 2019, is a concept off-road race based on the Huracán EVO and with a height of 47mm.
Hunter, based on the 9-time WRC World Cross-Country Rally champion Sebastien Loeb to the Bahrain Raid Xtreme race car driven by Dakarli, was developed by former Jaguar Chief Designer Ian Callum and was not much different from the car, only adding directional lights and fenders to comply with road regulations, and modifying the design of the air force kit, such as the front/rear wheel arch and fixed rear wing, to be more "conservative" Just a little.
In terms of body structure, Hunter's body sheet metal is all made of lightweight carbon fiber, and uses a high-strength steel frame, and each tire is a multi-link suspension structure composed of two adjustable shock absorbers to connect with the body, with 8.5J, 35 inches of off-road race-specific tires.
In the pure two-seater cockpit, Hunter is equipped with an LCD instrument for racing, a FIA-compliant roll cage, a six-point seat belt, a carbon fiber racing seat, a three-panel racing wheel covered with suede, and an emergency power-off switch and other devices in the center console.
As for the performance section, the Prodrive is equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo petrol engine for Hunter with a maximum horsepower of 600 hp and 700 Nm. Maximum torque, paired with a 6-speed sequential transmission with steering wheel paddles, is expected to sprint from stand still to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and approach 300 km/h at a top speed.
David Richards, President of Prodrive and former rally co-driver, said: "There are many supercars on the market, but they all need good roads, even tracks, to show their performance, and we have found that in some parts of the world, especially in the Middle East, there is a vast territory to explore, far beyond where the asphalt can reach. That's why we've created a vehicle that gives you the opportunity to explore these areas and outperforms any SUV ever before."
