Design and specifications

Specifications

The EX was powered by a front-mounted, single overhead cam, 4.0-liter supercharged V6 gasoline engine, capable of producing up to 375 brake horsepower (280 kW) (93.8 hp per litre) and 410 ft⋅lbf (560 N⋅m) of torque. It has a five-speed manual transmission with four-wheel drive (4WD), and large 33-inch tires.

Design and construction

The design of the vehicle was spare, as it had no doors. The exterior was mainly composed of a durable chrome-molybdenum steel exoskeleton, advantageous for its off-road capability.
