The Excite Rallye Raid Team is excited to unveil the Range Rover Evoque Desert Warrior 3 they will use for next year's Dakar and to compete in the 2013 FIA Off Road Rally Championship.
This modified Range Rover Evoque has a curb weight of 1,900 kg (4189 lbs), along with 16-inch Compomotive Atacama Rally Raid wheels with BF Goodrich Desert Race G series tires.
"We have worked hard to get the handling and reliability perfect but also keeping fantastic dune-driving ability, which is all too easily lost when designing such cars," said Mike Jones of RaBe Race Cars.
Power comes from a BMW 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine producing 271 hp (275 PS) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of peak torque mated to a ZF-sourced six-speed automatic transmission.
The Range Rover Evoque Desert Warrior 3 also features an insanely large fuel tank comes with a 260-liter that ensures a maximum range of 1,200 km (745 miles).
