Drakart Scorpion UTV

Years before long travel Yamaha Rhinos and then Turbo RZR’s became all the rage, the California based off-road car designer Drakart built amazing vehicles that today still rival the top machines from any manufacturer.

One in particular would fill a current need for those dune and desert guys looking for a 4-seat Yamaha. The Scorpion X4 UTV offers the same manual clutch, sequential shifting with a six speed gear box. The 1340cc Suzuki Hayabusa engine puts out an incredible 212 horsepower. So in a machine that has the weight of a standard 2-seat UTV, this thing can fly.

All Drakart chassis are built out of race car quality 4130 Chromoly tubing with billet Aluminum hubs and Chromoly spindles on all four corners. The body panels are fiberglass and the dash is carbon fiber. More great features include a strong billet steering rack and adjustable EPS. You get what you pay for with these machines, there’s is no upgrading needed and they are ready to race anything in the dunes or desert. Drakart is working on a 4WD system, but with the torque available in the Hayabusa engine, you would rarely need it unless you were a rock crawler or mud guy. Stay tuned as we are testing these bad boys soon.
