Meet the Most Exclusive Dune Buggy Ever: Only 6 Exist!

Limited Edition Alert: Meyers Manx’s Radial Buggies Are Here—But Not for Long!
This Radial-Powered Dune Buggy Will Make You Want to Hit the Road!

Meyers Manx, the iconic creator of the fiberglass beach buggy, has announced a thrilling new release: the Meyers Manx Tarmac Touring Edition, a remastered dune buggy powered by a unique radial engine. This ultra-limited edition, with only six units available, is set to redefine the dune buggy experience with aviation-inspired engineering and a host of premium upgrades.

Aviation-Inspired Performance and Design

At the heart of the Tarmac Touring Edition is a 2.0-liter radial engine, a collaboration between Meyers Manx and Bespoke Engineering, a company in the portfolio of Trousdale Ventures. Developed originally for sport aircraft, this engine, known as the Radial Motion, is a marvel of engineering. It delivers more than twice the power of the traditional Volkswagen engines that have historically powered the Meyers Manx buggies. The result is a buggy that accelerates linearly and delivers smooth, consistent power across its speed range, making it not only a head-turner on the beach but also a formidable performer on the road.

“The unique sound of a radial engine is a rare experience today, often encountered only at airshows or from passing classic aircraft,” said Phillip Sarofim, Chairman of Meyers Manx. “By featuring the Radial Motion engine in this series of Meyers Manx Remastered Buggies, we are preserving this historic engine format and allowing future generations to appreciate the power that once drove the world’s great airplanes.”

Cutting-Edge Collaboration

The radial engine in the Tarmac Touring Edition is no ordinary motor. Developed by Bespoke Engineering of Adelaide, Australia, it shares internal components with the General Motors LS1 V8, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. This cross-industry engineering approach brings military-grade reliability to a consumer vehicle, making it not only a collector’s item but also a practical machine for everyday use.

Michael Potiker, Chairman of Bespoke Engineering, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “The 2.0-liter Radial Motion engine, with its COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) supply chain, ensures reliability and ease of maintenance, making it an ideal powerplant for the Radial Motion-powered Meyers Manx. This project exemplifies how military-grade engineering can enhance consumer products, delivering unparalleled performance and durability.”

Unmatched Features and Craftsmanship

The Meyers Manx Tarmac Touring Edition isn’t just about power; it’s about blending performance with luxury and attention to detail:

Aviation-Inspired Engineering: The radial engine’s aviation heritage is evident in its distinctive exhaust note and robust performance. Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the buggy offers a smooth and exhilarating driving experience, perfect for both city streets and open highways.

Hidden Cooling Systems: To maintain the sleek appearance of the buggy while ensuring optimal engine performance, advanced cooling systems are discreetly integrated into the vehicle’s rear shelf.

Luxury Interior: Inside, the buggy features woven leather seats that offer a blend of rugged durability and refined comfort. The aviation-inspired gauges enhance the vehicle’s unique character, giving drivers the feel of being in a high-performance cockpit.

A Tradition of Innovation
Under the leadership of Phillip Sarofim, Meyers Manx continues to push the boundaries of innovation while staying true to its roots. The Meyers Manx Airways Grumman Albatross, a radial-powered amphibious aircraft used for global brand activations, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to blending tradition with cutting-edge design. The Tarmac Touring Edition is a direct reflection of this ethos, combining the classic dune buggy’s spirit with modern engineering excellence.

Exclusivity and Limited Availability
With only six units available, the Meyers Manx Tarmac Touring Edition is one of the most exclusive offerings in the company’s storied history. Each vehicle is meticulously built to order, ensuring that every detail meets the highest standards of craftsmanship that Meyers Manx is renowned for.

This ultra-limited series is not just a vehicle; it’s a piece of automotive art, a collector’s item that embodies the pioneering spirit of Bruce Meyers, the founder of Meyers Manx. The Tarmac Touring Edition stands as a symbol of innovation, luxury, and the enduring appeal of the classic dune buggy, reimagined for a new generation of enthusiasts.
