"Nothing screams “car nostalgia” more than a sand buggy running wild on its favorite terrain. And no one knew how to do that better than Meyers Manx. Lucky for us, they are back after more than 50 years with an all-new electric sand buggy that puts new EV tech on a retro body. While this vehicle is designed to have some fun in the sand, it does not shy away from power. The Manx 2.0 is equipped with 202 bhp which will be able to produce 240 pound-feet of torque to enjoy on any sandy landscape. This icon of the past is ready to get groovy at the Horizon Festival in the Autumn season."—Official description[1]
The 2023 Meyers Manx 2.0 EV - abbreviated as "Meyers Manx 2.0" - is an electric, rear-wheel drive buggy by Meyers.
It appears in Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 26.
Synopsis[]
The Manx 2.0 is an electric-powered reimagining of the 1971 original and the first vehicle produced under the "Meyers" name in 50 years.
Unlike the original, which was based on the underpinnings of the Volkswagen Beetle, the Manx 2.0 is based on a completely new and purposely built electric architecture, which features independent rear suspension housed under an all-aluminium chassis, and also features electrically assisted steering as standard.[2][3]
It is fitted with 2 electric motors - one of each mounted to either of the rear wheels - which combine to produce 202 hp (151 kW) and 240 ft·lb (325 N·m) of torque with a claimed 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) time of 4.5 seconds.
