There’s a small but dedicated niche of extreme automotive enthusiasm that involves driving very powerful cars up and down enormous sand dunes. Unsurprisingly, this is mostly limited to geographically appropriate areas like the Middle East, but there are other global hotspots for such extreme off-roading, such as the North Algodones Dunes in California, where wide open expanses are a powerful lure for pumped-up custom dune buggies of all shapes and sizes.

To create the customer car – and therefore with no rally regs to follow - Prodrive has boosted the power output of the Hunter’s 3.5-litre V6 to a massive 600hp – double the original. There’s also even more suspension travel to soak up bumps, with massive off-road tyres sitting on aluminium rims.

The boosted power should mean a top speed of around 300km/h, although we don’t recommend you try that on anything but perfect asphalt. Attempting to reach the stated sub-four-second 0-100kph time will be more fun on rough terrain. David Richards, Prodrive’s chairman, says that the Hunter is ‘about giving owners the opportunity to experience what it is like to drive Loeb’s Dakar car across the desert, but with all the comforts of a road car and the ability to drive it from your home, through a city, to any destination of your choice.’
