The Chassis
The Nemesis has an MSA approved advanced tubular space frame. Designed with race experience and the latest computer technology. High strength steel tubing has been used in the roll cage and main braces making the cab both strong and extremely safe whilst keeping the upper body weight to a minimum. |

The Body
The body of the Nemesis is composed primarily of Twin-tex, the properties of the material allow high surface impact without the tearing and shattering associated with GRP.
Carbon fibre is used on areas where a high strength to weight ratio is required.

Access
With a fuel capacity of 415 ltrs this vehicle is more than capable for the extreme stages of the Dakar. The fuel cell has been designed to give a low centre of gravity whilst allowing maximum space for the storage of general and emergency supplies. The rear tailgate acts as a base for mounting the sand ladders, shovels and the hydraulic jack. The lifting rear upper tailgate and side hatches allow easy access to all of the afore mentioned items including the dampers. |
