Dune buggys are generally a lot of fun to drive. They’re also rarely road-friendly, if legal at all. The Zarooq Sand Racer aims to fix this. The first vehicle from the UAE company, it’s powered by a mid-mounted 3.5L V6 engine outputting up to 500 horsepower through the rear wheels. Its tube chassis is made from high-strength steel, the bulkheads from aluminum, and the body from fiberglass, resulting in a weight of roughly 2,300 lbs. That, combined with the 12.4 inches of ground clearance, Fox shocks for handling bumps, and creature comforts like A/C, a racing suede-wrapped steering wheel, and a paddle-controlled six-speed automatic transmission should make it an exciting drive, on-road or off.
