Sand kicks up like fireworks behind the wheels of this 2007 Volkswagen Dune Buggy that comes wrapped in Purple Pearl paint and catches light from every angle. The full glass Manx-style body keeps weight low while maximizing visibility and adventure potential. Black push bars mounted up front offer protection during rough terrain excursions, complemented by a sturdy black roll bar. Chrome light housings add contrast against the purple exterior. The staggered wheel setup features 15" Weld wheels with skinny 125 R15 tires up front and wider 235/70R15 tires in back for optimal off-road handling.
Climb inside to find a functional black interior built for adventure rather than luxury. Diamond-stitched vinyl bucket seats hold occupants firmly in place during off-road maneuvers. The steering wheel features a purple painted center section with chrome accents and the Volkswagen Wolfsburg Crest logo at its center. An EMPI shifter puts gear selection within easy reach. Minimalist instrumentation keeps your focus on the terrain ahead. Entertainment comes via a Pioneer single-DIN stereo with AM/FM/AUX/Bluetooth capability mounted under the passenger dash, sending audio through two weatherproof speakers installed for all-condition durability.
The mechanical foundation begins with Volkswagen's air-cooled 1200cc four-cylinder engine connected to a 4-speed manual transmission. Recent upgrades include an EMPI chrome dress-up kit with cylinder covers and belt cover for improved visual appeal. CB Performance valve covers and a single-barrel EMPI carburetor feed the flat-four engine. The exhaust system features a newly installed EMPI stainless steel dual setup with long tube headers. Front disc brakes provide stopping power while the torsion bar swing axle front suspension and rear swing axle design maintain wheel contact over uneven terrain.
