The Meyers Manx dune buggy is the stuff of legend, a fiberglass free spirit that defined California cool in the ‘60s. Now, Meyers Manx has joined forces with rally wizards Tuthill Porsche to unleash the LFG—a modern, no-holds-barred reimagining that’s as wild as its name suggests. Limited to just 100 units, this is no ordinary buggy; it’s a carbon-fiber beast built for adventure, blending retro soul with cutting-edge performance.
Under the hood—or rather, at the rear—lies a range of potent engine options, including Tuthill’s screaming 4.0-liter flat-six, derived from their iconic 911K, capable of revving to a spine-tingling 11,000 rpm. Power hits all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox, backed by front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials for unrelenting grip on any terrain. The suspension, with twin five-way adjustable dampers and hydraulic bump stops, laughs off desert dunes and rocky trails, while BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires keep you planted.
The LFG’s carbon-fiber body, penned by design legend Freeman Thomas (of Audi TT and VW New Beetle fame), keeps the Manx’s iconic tub shape but adds aggressive, wide fenders and a futuristic edge. Gullwing doors and a removable roof panel let you switch from a climate-controlled cabin to open-air freedom in just two minutes. Inside, you’ll find a digital dash with Apple CarPlay, integrated GPS, and a long-range fuel tank for those far-flung journeys. An Inconel exhaust ensures the flat-six’s wail is as unforgettable as the drive.
This isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a ticket to a lifestyle. Each LFG comes with six years of exclusive, curated driving adventures worldwide, kicking off in 2027 with a Baja Tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of Meyers Manx’s historic Mexican 1000 victory. From desert sprints to mountain escapades, the LFG is built to conquer—and to make every mile a memory. Production starts in 2026, and with only 100 examples, these will vanish faster than sand in a storm.
