Dacia Manifesto Buggy

Dacia has introduced the impressive Manifesto concept, a featherweight all-terrain buggy equipped to deal with outdoor pursuits, with permanent four-wheel drive, a hose-down interior, chunky wheels, a raised ride height and a tough plastic body made from a recycled polypropylene material. The hood sports a lightbar plus a single headlamp that can me removed and used as a powerful handheld flashlight, and it is fitted with a winch, and a dedicated battery supply out back that can be pulled out and used as a portable power source at camp. It also features puncture proof tyres, seat covers that can easily be removed to double as sleeping bags, and a rear area that can optionally be transformed into a workbench or table, with built-in storage.
