The classic beach buggy Meyers Manx will receive an update in the form of an entirely electric version, the Meyers Manx 2.0 EV, which will make its debut at the Goodwood Revival 2024 in the UK and Europe, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original model.
Maintaining the iconic 1964 style, with red paint and a white Bimini top, the new Manx 2.0 is the company’s first entirely new creation in over 50 years.
With an estimated range of 200 kilometers and a sealed electric propulsion system promising greater reliability, the full technical specifications, including power, battery capacity, and weight, have not yet been released, but robust performance is expected.
The buggy has its roots in a rich history of off-road competitions, having been designed by Bruce Meyers in 1964 using boat-building techniques. The original model quickly became famous for breaking dune and desert racing records. The updated version continues this tradition, with a prototype recently tested in Baja.
For those who prefer the classic gasoline engine, the Meyers Manx offers limited editions, including a version with a three-cylinder radial engine designed for aviation, priced at around $119,500.
The price of the Meyers Manx 2.0 EV is steep, starting at $125,000, but it promises to be a unique and stylish vehicle for electric buggy enthusiasts.
The Goodwood Revival 2024 will feature an exhibition of the Manx 2.0 EV and other models from the brand, as well as announce the new Meyers Manx Resorter NEV, a four-seat electric vehicle that seems more geared toward recreational use in controlled environments, given its speed limit of 40 km/h.
