I saw a buggy was a 6.1L V8 700HP+.. these buggies are so powerful that you could do a wheelie while coming down the dune (slope).. generally you would see following spec engine-

| hi, came back from india on thursday after spending good 3 weeks in pune and couldnt wait to go for the offroad trip.. here are few pics; was a long 150kms in desert and a fast pace trip, so not many pics were taken. btw- i visited the mahindra dealer in pune and enquired about the major; i was surprised to know that this ride cannot be registered in pune city as its engine does not comply to BIII; also the delivery takes 2 months if you manage to give residence address outside city limits?? what do you guys have to say on this? |

| guys, this weekend was very special. We tried the Toyota land cruiser Pickup which has received the V8 5.7L chevy Lumina engine transplant and what a pickup! Spinning 35" tires for 20 meters on asphalt! You can imagine then what was it like on the dunes... This machine does 1-100kmp in less than 5secs .. its our rally support 4x4; stay tuned for the comming UAE desert challenge, where our team is participating in the fury buggy.some pics loaded here, but sadly the quality of pics are not good.
