The factory Smart Roadster is a nimble, lightweight, 3-cylinder city car. Our mission? Tear it down to the bare chassis and completely re-engineer it into a heavy-duty, sand-conquering rally weapon. By marrying ultra-lightweight design with sheer mechanical muscle, we are building a bespoke off-road predator designed to thrive in the world's most unforgiving terrain.
Swapping out the tiny standard engine for a roaring, high-revving Honda V6 powerplant.
Boosting the machine to a lethal 500 horsepower to dominate massive desert plains
Custom fabricating a bespoke 4-wheel-drive drivetrain to claw through the deepest Saharan sand.
