Kawal Dune Buggy
A
dune buggy is a recreational
vehicle with large
wheels, and wide
tires, designed for use on sand
dunes or
beaches. The design is usually a modified vehicle with a modified engine mounted on an open
chassis.
The modifications usually attempt to increase the power to weight ratio
by either lightening the vehicle or increasing engine power or both.
Those with an open frame chassis are called
sandrails.
A similar, more recent generation of off road vehicle, often similar
in appearance to a sand rail but designed for different use, is the
"off road
go kart". The difference between a
dune
buggy or go kart and an "off road" buggy or kart is sometimes nothing
more than the type of tires fitted -sand tires or all terrain tires -
but "off road" go karts and buggies are a rapidly developing category
of their own.
