The Meyers Manx dune buggy, an icon of 1960s California car culture, is making a comeback—this time as an electric vehicle. In an interview with Car and Driver, designer Freeman Thomas shares how the new Meyers Manx 2.0 EV preserves the soul of the original while embracing zero-emissions tech and a lightweight build.
The updated design pairs a rear-mounted electric motor with a lightweight build, delivering a streamlined build and zero-emissions performance. With limited production planned, the Manx 2.0 stays true to Bruce Meyers’ legacy while appealing to a new generation of drivers.
