2027 Meyers Manx LFG: All-Wheel-Drive, Flat-Six-Powered Baja Legend Reborn

2027 Meyers Manx LFG: All-Wheel-Drive, Flat-Six-Powered Baja Legend Reborn

For years, the revived Meyers Manx brand has captured hearts with its retro-cool beach buggies from classic VW-powered models to bold electric versions. But now, it’s going far beyond sand dunes and coastal cruises.

Teaming up with legendary UK Porsche specialist Tuthill Porsche, Meyers Manx has unveiled the LFG a no-compromise, high-performance tribute to the original Baja 1000-winning Manx of 1967. And yes, LFG stands for exactly what you’re thinking: "Let’s Freaking Go."

Debuted at Monterey Car Week, the LFG isn’t just another nostalgic reimagining. It’s a modern off-road weapon built for adventure, engineered for endurance, and designed to dominate any terrain paved or not.

The LFG pays homage to the iconic 1967 Baja 1000 victory, where Bruce Meyers’ lightweight buggy shocked the racing world. This new model carries that rebellious spirit forward but with 21st-century performance under the skin.

It’s an all-wheel-drive powerhouse, combining rugged capability with precision engineering and yes, it’s powered by a Porsche-derived flat-six engine tuned by Tuthill Porsche, the masters behind some of the most capable off-road 911s ever made.

The LFG’s striking carbon-fiber bodywork was penned by Freeman Thomas, the visionary designer behind the Audi TT and Volkswagen New Beetle. His take on the classic Manx shape is both faithful and futuristic sharp, muscular, and unmistakably purposeful.

Every curve and vent serves a function, blending aerodynamic efficiency with aggressive off-road presence.

While full specs are still limited, we know the LFG packs serious hardware:

• Tuthill’s high-performance, four-valve air-cooled flat-six engine (from the wild 911K)
• Six-speed sequential gearbox for lightning-fast shifts
• Front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials for maximum traction
• Adjustable twin coilover suspension at all four corners
• BF Goodrich all-terrain tires mounted on lightweight wheels

This is no stripped-down dune jumper it’s a precision-built machine ready for desert rallies, mountain trails, or open highways.

Despite its race-bred DNA, the LFG doesn’t sacrifice comfort. It features a fully enclosed cockpit with air conditioning perfect for long-distance touring.

But when you want that classic open-air buggy experience, the roof can be removed in just two minutes, transforming the LFG into a pure, wind-in-your-hair machine.

Meyers Manx and Tuthill Porsche aren’t just selling a vehicle they’re offering an adventure lifestyle.

Owners will gain access to exclusive driving tours hosted by the brands, starting in 2027 the 50th anniversary of the original Manx’s Baja 1000 win. These curated experiences will let drivers push their LFGs to the limit across remote landscapes, guided by expert crews.

Only 100 units of the LFG will ever be built each hand-assembled with obsessive attention to detail.

No official price has been announced, but given the Porsche-level engineering, carbon fiber construction, and Tuthill partnership, expect it to start well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
