This is the Range Rover Evoque Desert Warrior 3, with which the Excite Rallye Raid Team is going to compete in the FIA T3 world championship. The Desert Warrior 3 Evoque is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine that puts out 275 hp and 850 Nm of torque. If unrestricted, this engine develops 350 hp. The engine is mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox. To be able to compete in Rallye Raid events, this Evoque had to receive several modifications. It features 8 Reiger coilovers, 16-inch Comp.omotive Atacama Rally Raid wheels, and BF Goodrich Desert Race G series tires. It has a 260-liter fuel tank, which offers a maximum range of 1,200 kilometers, and it weighs 1,900 kg. The Evoque Desert Warrior 3 comes equipped with a CCV (Corner Control Valve), which was developed by Reiger to take some of the functions of an anti-roll bar.
The SUV is also equipped with a RCV (Rebound Control Valve) that detects whether or not the wheels are on the ground, and a LCV (Lateral Control Valve), which detects if the compression is cause by the wheel going up or the body going down. The Range Rover Evoque Desert Warrior 3 is also equipped with a HPDP (Hydraulic Progressive Double Piston) double piston system with a damper that has a speed-dependant characteristic.
The Evoque Desert Warrior 3 was developed and built by RaBe Race Cars to meet the T3 FIA regulations. It is currently waiting for homologation as a T2 production car for FIA Rally Raid events.
