Meyers Manx’s New EV Is No Tesla Rival, And That’s A Wonderful Thing

Meyers Manx became famous in the 1960s for creating the original fiberglass dune buggy. Now, the company has released its first all-new vehicle in almost 60 years – the Manx 2.0, an electric take on the dune buggy. The Manx 2.0 was developed alongside the Resorter NEV and shares many components with it. The Resorter NEV offers more power than a typical neighborhood vehicle and can handle larger, hillier terrain with its high-torque engine and rugged wheels. It also has quick acceleration and towing capabilities, making it ideal for hotels and shuttle services.

The Resorter NEV features a twin-motor electric drivetrain powered by pouch-cell lithium-ion batteries. It has a four-wheel independent wishbone suspension and an aluminum monocoque chassis. The vehicle is equipped with power steering, regenerative braking, and comes with a detachable roof, foldable windshield, and zip-down window doors. It also has standard heating and A/C, providing comfort in all weather conditions.

The Resorter NEV offers a smart dashboard, advanced LED lighting, and customizable interior materials, front seat designs, and exterior colors. It aims to deliver the same luxury and quality engineering found in the Manx 2.0 buggy, which has a retail price of $74,000. Hinrich J. Woebcken, a Meyers Manx board member, stated, “With the rebirth of this iconic automotive brand, I’m immersed in the process of engineering and industrialization for a quality customer experience.”
