Prodrive has developed a 600-hp, mid-engine, rally raid-style vehicle for the road.

originally developed by British motorsport and engineering company Prodrive for the 2021 Dakar Rally has spawned a road-going variant.

Like the rally car, the Hunter comes with a mid-mounted 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 sourced from Ford. However, the 600-hp output makes the road car faster than its racing counterpart, whose engine only delivers 400 hp. The road car also sports a 6-speed sequential transmission with paddle shifters, instead of the rally car's manual unit.

Performance estimates include a 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds and, depending on the tires, a top speed approaching 186 mph.Who might be interested in a Hunter? According to Richards, the vehicle could be an option for performance enthusiasts in areas where smooth roads are hard to find.
