The success and popularity of the “dune buggy” were not enough to make the company keep its business for long. The company seized its operations in 1971 due to tax problems after the departure of its founder Bruce Meyers.The company previously celebrated its 50th anniversary with a new electric dune buggy in cooperation with REV-Tec, in 2014.
The company was sold to the venture capital firm Trousdale in 2020. It has now introduced an updated and fully electric version of the buggy, with its new CEO, ex-VW, and Ford chief designer Freeman Thomas, who designed the Audi TT and the modern VW New Beetle.The company says it plans on two different battery options, 20 kWh and 40kWh, which will cover a range of 150 and 300 miles , respectively.
