This gives a whole new meaning to 'street-legal'
When we mention the word hypercar, they're usually seen as hybrid-assisted supercars that are low-slung and built to go fast on paved roads. However, one British motorsport firm is changing that narrative.
Usually, road-going versions offer less performance than their competition counterparts. But this one's different. While the BRX already produces a healthy 300 PS from its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, the Hunter hypercar has 600 PS on tap. That's right, Prodrive increased the Dakar competition car's engine output by 50% for the street-legal model.
Essentially, the road car is every bit of a Dakar rally car, and then some. According to David Richards, “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”.
