The Quail is a cornerstone of Monterey Car Week. It is a respected and prestigious motoring event showcasing impossibly expensive unobtanium. It’s genteel. Civilised.

One invitee however, wants to trash the party, and this is it: it’s the LFG, and it’s here to have some fun.

“Let’s have some fun,” said the companies behind it. “Let’s explore. Let’s drive it like we stole it.”

Those companies are Meyers Manx and Tuthill, who want “redefine the spirit of recreational driving”. The former is of course, a US company quite famous for building a dune buggy, while the latter is a Brit firm responsible for droolworthy old Porsches. This is the natural result.

As befits something capable of “recreational driving”, it’s 4WD, features many limited slip diffs, five-way adjustable dampers with hydraulic bump stops, roll-over protection, four-pot off-road calipers mounted onto steel brakes, all-terrain tyres and a long-range fuel tank.

Speaking of, that tank will provide energy for “several” engine specifications, including a four-valve engine derived from the glorious 3.1-litre nestled in the back of the Tuthill 911K. That thing revs to 11,000rpm. Now imagine it al fresco. While pinning it along a desert.

The four-valver is attached to a six-speed sequential gearbox and lightweight Iconel exhaust system, while inside you’ll get such luxuries as climate control and in-built sat nav. Naturally, the entire carbon fibre bodied LFG is all bespoke, and just 100 will be built at a price yet to be disclosed.

“This project started as a dream between my long -time pal Richard and me, who are constantly in pursuit of the ultimate expression of freedom and performance,” said Meyers Manx’s Phillip Sarofim. “The result is exactly what we sought; raw, visceral, novel, and totally uncompromising. We call it LFG for a reason.”

“The car looks fun, mischievous, it has a character that I have genuinely never seen or felt,” added Richard Tuthill. “But underneath it’s proper – could we go to the moon and back in it? Probably yes.

“In two minutes, it transforms from a fully air conditioned enclosed cabin to a doorless buggy where the wind provides the air that helps us smile. It’s very special. I can't wait to get started, please join in – LFG.”
