A dune buggy is a four wheeled vehicle used specifically to have fun! Dune buggies look very different to other on-road vehicles. They normally consist of an open framed chassis and are primarily designed to be raced on sandy beaches and deserts.
Because of their use, dune buggies have large tires which are wide and are able to deal with the sandy terrain that these buggies are raced on. The actual buggies themselves look more like over-sized go-karts, but are much more dynamic and powerful.
When it comes to racing, dune buggy enthusiasts usually modify the design to enable them to go faster. This is done by using exceptionally light materials to build the buggies, or by modifying the engine, or both.
Mention a dune buggy or go kart to a child, and their eyes light up! These uber-cool vehicles are made for racing and having a great time. They bring communities together who love to watch their children race in them.
They are also fantastic for building bonds between friends and family members. Few things in life have the excitement and satisfaction of building your very own dune buggy and racing it!
Dune buggies appeal to all ages. Even famous faces such as George Bush have driven a dune buggy.
It’s easy to see why people love to drive them – the thrill of the race, the wind in your face and the blast of sand behind your tyres. There is something about a dune buggy that brings out the inner child in you. Anything which makes you feel young and gives you this much of an adrenaline rush is worth a shot!
