Remember Vanderhall, makers of those wild, three-wheeled, hand-built autocycles in the US? Well, it’s branching out to four wheels...
More specifically, it’s branching out with this—the Navarro off-road side-by-side. Wicked-looking thing, isn’t it? Check out the Senna-style doors. Vanderhall says it’s inspired by trophy truck racing, and the Navarro features long-travel suspension, retro headlights with yellow fogs, and proper off-road tires.
It’ll be based on the company’s existing ‘Matrix’ platform and will apparently be a full EV. Wow, that’s one way to make them cool. The Utah-based firm has previous with electric power, of course—its Edison 2 is a 138hp, 635kg three-wheeler that features twin electric motors and a 28.8kWh battery for around 320km of range.
Whether the exact same powertrain will make its way into the Navarro, we’re yet to find out. We do know that Vanderhall is doubling the size of its factory, and that this thing should be available either later this year or in 2022.
Thoughts?
