Mat and the team have flown out to Dubai to put some incredible sand buggies to the test over a series of 100m races. So, will racing driver Sam have what it takes to beat Mat? Let’s take a closer look at what they’re racing. First off, we have Mat in a Can-Am Maverick R XRS, which has a 1-litre, 3-cylinder turbo that can produce 240hp and 209Nm. It comes with all-wheel-drive, weighs 1,100kg, and costs around $42,000. Alongside him, we have Sam in a Polaris RZR Pro R, which is powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder that creates 225hp and 206Nm. It has all-wheel drive, tips the scales at 1,050kg, and costs around $39,000. Once this race is done, Mat and Sam will try out tuned versions of the same buggies. The Polaris will have a new turbo added, coupled with engine upgrades to now produce 480hp and 407Nm, while the Can-Am has a new turbo kit as well as several other upgrades to create 480hp and 407Nm. Both buggies are now also running on ethanol! However, the following two races are absolutely out of this world. First, we bring in the Funco GTU, which has a 7.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that creates 1,700hp and 1,763Nm. Then, we’ll bring in the Blower, which creates an absolutely insane 4,000hp!!! So who will come out first over the 100m, Mat or Sam? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
