'MAXX BUGGY'

The classic 60's beach buggy is back!

Not for decades has it been possible to register a beach buggy in Australia. We are now in the process of reproducing these classic buggies but with modern-day engineering. 

  ProRace Engineering can now supply the classic 60's beach buggy,                                               THE MAXX BUGGY                                                in kit form able to be registered for road use in Australia.

BODIES.

Produced in high-quality fibreglass using the latest techniques, equipment, and materials. We can offer two styles, the LWB 4 seater and the classic SWB 4 seater. The LWB can still be registered, just fit to your standard unmodified VW Beetle floorpan/chassis. Bodies are available now.

 

CHASSIS.

The SWB (Short Wheel Base) body fits to our proprietary in-house designed 'Millennium' chassis. These chassis are 2021 technology and no longer use VW components, eliminating the need to scour wrecking yards looking for non-existent 50-year-old parts. And of course, you then have a vehicle that drives like a modern car.

FEATURES/TECHNICAL.

Kits will be delivered with the following specification/features.

-Black powder coated steel Millennium backbone chassis.

-White gel coat finished Maxx SWB body in Fibreglass.

-Maxx bonnet and integrated curved glass windscreen cowl. Curved windscreen gives much-improved wind buffeting comfort over traditional flat windscreen. (Flat windscreen bonnet also available)

-Facility to mount proprietary ADR legal floor mount pedal box

-Facility to mount production front and rear suspension, brakes, rack & pinion steering etc.

-With appropriate mounting brackets sold separately cars can be fitted with VW or Subaru transaxles

-Choice of engines can be used.   

An electric-powered Maxx is also currently in development.

Disclaimer.

The photo's on this page of the finished yellow buggy are NOT the Maxx Buggy. This is a car built in the USA that we chose as a representation of how the Maxx will look once completed. Specifically, this car has a fabricated chassis and modern type suspension much the same as the Maxx , and if you are familiar with these cars it highlights the more modern nature of the mechanical layout. It also has a body style that is much the same. The yellow car has no association with us apart from this visual representation. Currently, the only pictures we have of the actual Maxx are the body in white straight out of our moulds.

The body in white shown is our LWB body. The SWB is identical apart from the wheelbase.
