Today we look at rally and off-road racing style cars as fully caged, huge suspension travel capable monsters that leap from dune to dune or fly through the woods at 150mph. Back in the day, that wasn’t the case. The Ford Falcons and other cars that ran at rallies like Paris to Dakar and the East African Safari Rally were certainly beefed up but they were largely production automobiles. Morgan has decided to build a short run throwback to stuff like that with their limited edition CX-T and it is awesome.
Using an aluminum chassis, a 2.0L turbocharged engine, a six speed manual transmission, and a BMW style X-Drive differential, this baby is ready for action. Morgan is working with a company that specializes in making cars for professional rally competition and they have come up with a real gem. No, the car is not all wheel-drive, in fact it is rear wheel drive and as you will see in this video, the little thing is a pugnacious beast that seems to be capable of handling anything that anyone wants to throw at it. How awesome!
Now, this car does cost 200,000 British pounds and that means only really rich guys with a taste for the eccentric stuff will buy one, but we still think it’s cool. We’d love to slide this rear wheel drive little beast around!
