The most brutal and insane Road Legal Vehicle we have come across so far is the mighty Rally Fighter, which has recently been introduced by Auto Trader.
Nothing comes close to what I experienced behind the wheel of the Rally Fighter, this despite me being a big fan of extreme sports and in my time I have driven all types of extreme buggies, quads and 4×4’s. Pedestrians were falling over kerbs whilst searching for their camera phones as we made our way to the desert, even other motorists nearly crashed their cars. It makes me wonder sometimes how much this would cost inDubai car market ? after the rally and all. They were obviously trying to figure out what the hell they were looking at from the look on their faces
It comes as no surprise that this rare car attracts such interest when we saw that Local Motors only bringing two cars to the UAE, just to give us a taste of the Rally Fighter.
With a demonic soundtrack, thanks to the 6.2-litre, LS3 E-Rod engine from GM the Rally Fighter delivers a menacing appearance on the road. This all-aluminum V8 delivers 430bhp. It really comes alive in its natural habitat which is off-road and out in the desert, even though it is perfectly capable on tarmac. Given the alias “the cinder blocks from old campfires,” the Kevlar reinforced Goodyear MTR tyres give the best possible protection against random objects in the sand. Once the race is over and this Rally Fighter is on display for sale, it is most certainly that people will get in line to buy it! Going full throttle and literally flying over blind ridges ahead is what this vital feature offers, as there is little time to scan for debris as you take full advantage of the 18-20 inch suspension travel. Unlike conventional buggies, you can enjoy the comfort of the air-conditioned, dust-free cockpit.
The Rally Fighter is designed and built by Local Motors in Arizona USA and leads next generation, crowd-sourcing automotive design, incorporating the latest technology to create game changing vehicles.

Since there has been a development of monotony in rally’s highest ranking, the WRC, the interest people have had in it has decreased, even though rally as a sport has grown to epic proportions ever since it was invented. However, this seemed like a good news for Abu Dhabi car dealerships businesses as rally cars get to their lots faster. Still too much monotony will kill the business and the Rally all together.
Now, there has been a tendency to participate in categories, or championships, like the IRC which provide rules that are easier for more people to cope with.
One can look back at the great days of rallying and wonder: which were the best cars in rally history? Perhaps, it’s necessary to go back to the days of Group B and open the competition. Rally cars are also regularly featured among the lot of Dubai Car Sale simply because of their reputation in racing across the deserts of Dubai. Some of them (especially those that won the race) are even sold at a fairly expensive price.
