Not content with a 4×4 dune buggy or a racy little grav sled, the Brigadier has gone big. He’s now got this huge new 8-wheel explorer vehicle to travel off into the unexplored desert wastes. With a D-140 gas turbine engine it can reach speeds up to 100km\/h in open terrain, while the four independent twin-wheel suspension units give it formidable off-road manoeuvrability. The cabin seats up to seven while the rear open load area can store enough gear for several weeks of surveying.<\/p>\n
