In 1964, Bruce Meyers , a California engineer, created the first fiberglass buggy called the Meyers Manx, sparking the off-road driving craze. This innovative creation, initially designed for desert racing, became iconic for its playful design and fantastic performance.
Nearly more than 60 years later , Meyers Manx unveiled the iconic go-anywhere buggy with an electrified version, Resorter, a local electric vehicle (NEV) at The Quail, a motorsports gathering during Monterey Car Week 2023.
The Resorter NEV will be a four-passenger electric buggy powered by a dual-motor electric transmission and lithium-ion battery designed with enough torque to tow trailers, climb steep hills, and go off-road without much trouble. This NEV is designed for local exploration and is electrically limited by NEV regulations, with a maximum speed of 40 km/h.
“With the rebirth of this iconic automotive brand, I am immersed in the engineering and industrialization process to deliver a quality customer experience,” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, member of the board of dir C Level Executive List ectors of Meyers Manx and former CEO of Volkswagen Group of America.
The Meyers Manx Resorter NEV will feature advanced LED lighting, an innovative dashboard and Easter eggs that reference the company's history. It has a removable roof and can climb hills despite its buggy .
The Resorter NEV will have an aerodynamic aluminum monocoque chassis with eye-catching bodywork. It also has a removable roof, zippered windows, a folding windshield, and rugged all-terrain wheels.
The neighboring electric vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and heating as standard. However, it could be roofless, with power steering and regenerative braking, as it is better suited for city driving.
The NEV will offer a range of customization options, such as exterior colors, eco-friendly interior materials and innovative front seat designs.
The Meyers Manx has yet to release numbers like horsepower or range, but don't expect the Resorter to have great range or exceptionally high speeds. The Resorter starts with a base price of $49,000 and you can reserve a NEV with a $500 deposit.
