Dacia Sandrider: A 355bhp road-legal Dakar car set for launch in 2025.
The Dacia Sandrider: a 355bhp road-legal Dakar car set for launch in 2025. Not only that, but it also announced its drivers. Eight-time Dakar competitor and rally hero Sebastian Loeb, 2024 Dakar T3 category winner Cristina Gutiérrez, and five-time Dakar winner Nasser Al-Attiyah will be in the (very) hotseat of a Sandrider. The Romanian company isn’t messing about when it comes to the talent behind the wheel.
The future winner of the Dakar rally, of course! Well… that’s what Dacia hopes, and it’s given itself a decent chance by partnering with motorsport engineering legends Prodrive. Prodrive’s Rally Raid Special, the Hunter, will form the car’s basis, all rigged up to get Dacia into the top Ultimate T1+ class. That means a 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 with 360bhp and 397lb ft, 350mm of suspension travel, a lightweight tubular chassis, 17-inch wheels shod in 37-inch tires, carbon bodywork, and all the trimmings to, hopefully, give everyone else a run for their money.
