Prospective buyers, motoring enthusiasts and rally lovers were given the first look at the $1.4m Prodrive Hunter supercar in Dubai.
The world’s first all-terrain hypercar was put through its paces by two-time Dakar Rally champion Nani Roma.
The original Prodrive Hunter is built for the challenges of driving on desert terrain and an adapted road version will soon be available.

“We came to Dubai, to give prospective buyers the opportunity of driving the car for the first time and experience the power and all-round performance of the Hunter in their local terrain” said Prodrive chairman, David Richards.
“It was good to have Nani Roma on hand to demonstrate the full performance of the Hunter and explain what makes it such a unique vehicle.”
Super car enthusiasts and potential buyers got behind the wheel of the 600 bhp, four-wheel drive Hunter in the Al Qhudra dunes, before switching to the co-driver’s seat alongside the Spanish driver for a ride they will not easily forget.
According to the manufacturer the Hunter is designed to negotiate the most demanding desert regions and is also in its element in downtown traffic.
This makes the UAE a prime market for Prodrive, which is building a limited number of Hunters to the unique specification of individual buyers.
The adapted hypercar is even more powerful than the rally version, boasting a 50% increase in power from its 3.5 litre V6 twin turbo engine, and more suspension travel to absorb the harshest of terrain.
The car can accelerate from 0-100 kph in less than four seconds, with a top speed of nearly 300 kph.
The Hunter is expected to start at $1.4m plus local taxes.
