CARMEL,
Calif., Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Meyers Manx
is presenting its updated new lineup of vehicles at this year's The
Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, a premier Monterey Car Week event
where motorsports meets luxury and technological innovation.
This signature event at the prestigious Quail Lodge & Golf
Club is an ideal venue for Meyers Manx to celebrate its
60th anniversary with enthusiasts and showcase its
latest product advancements.
"The Quail Motorsports Reunion is a remarkable stage for
showcasing the full scope of our vision," said Phillip Sarofim, Meyers Manx chairman. "We're
not just unveiling vehicles; we're presenting a philosophy – where
the legacy of the past is reimagined with the innovation of the
future. I'm thrilled to share our entire lineup, especially as it
demonstrates our relentless pursuit of blending classic design with
modern technology."
The new lineup includes:
Meyers Manx 2.0 Electric Vehicle (EV) and Resorter
Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) Production Teasers
Now
fully street-drivable, both the Meyers Manx 2.0 EV and Resorter NEV
models have reached a significant product development milestone.
Key engineering targets have been set for both regarding main
technical attributes. These include driving performance; range and
power; quality; reliability; safety and ergonomics.
"You can see how we're approaching the design intent that we
originally captured on both original concepts as we move closer to
production," said Freeman Thomas,
Meyers Manx vice chairman.
The 2.0 EV production teaser features an updated Old Red livery
– featuring a signature white marine canvas Bimini roof and green
graphic access to pay tribute to the iconic green accents from the
1964 Old Red model's original fuel tanks. Inside, reproduction Old
Red seats are trimmed in marine-grade white vinyl seats.
The Resorter NEV production teaser will appear in an all-new
Crystal Cove metallic blue body
fitted with marine-grade white vinyl seats.
Both of these 2.0 EV two-seat dune buggy and the four-seat
Resorter NEV models integrate fully working technologies and
systems – from battery technology and software to chassis and
suspension.
The Meyers Manx team will continue testing and further refining
engineering and features on both models and will expand its fleet
of engineering prototypes in coming weeks.
Meyers Manx Remastered Resorter
The company's Design
team has remastered its four-seat Resorter kit – just as it
previously had done with Meyers Manx's original two-seat buggy
kits.
At Friday's event, the Meyers Manx team is unveiling a
Remastered Resorter body in Rose
Copper metal flake, featuring authentic wicker seats for
front and rear seat passengers and a special dandelion shifter
knob.
Using 3D scanning and CNC technology, the team has ensured every
curve and line of the Resorter is preserved while refining the mold
and to ensure the fiberglass bodies it produces are even more
precise. This not only created more rear-seat room in the
Remastered Resorter, it also makes the kit easier for skilled home
builders to assemble.
For an even better driving experience, the Meyers Manx
engineering team also improved the stiffness and design of the
Resorter's updated frame.
Remastered Resorter kits will be available to order this fall.
Pricing will be announced closer to launch.
The Meyers Manx Tarmac Touring Edition, powered by Radial
Motion
The company also is highlighting an all-new
aviation-inspired remastered two-seat buggy. This model features a
2.0-liter three-cylinder radial engine, originally crafted for
sport aircraft.
The engine, renowned for its exceptional engineering and unique
exhaust note, is the most finely engineered motor ever fitted to a
Meyers Manx. Only six of these editions will be produced.
"With the Radial Motion-powered Meyers Manx Tarmac Touring
Edition, we're paying homage to the engines that once connected
continents," said Michael Potiker,
Chairman of Radial Motion. "This engine is a throwback to the
motors that powered aviation's golden age, now brought to the road
with a proprietary digital instrument panel that brings a modern
edge to a piece of history."
Attendees of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, can see the new
Meyers Manx lineup on Friday from 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in
Carmel. A reveal for media is
planned for 7:50 a.m.
