South African race car manufacturer Red-Lined International has launched its radical all-new race-ready Revo. Purpose-built to compete in the FIA World Cup Cross Country Series including the Dakar Rally, Serco said the Revo ‘is designed and built to fulfil the dreams of the serious privateer and semi-professional rally raid teams’. 

The Kyalami-based company boasts 10 successful Dakar campaigns and has more than 40 cars competing out of 16 countries around the world, with dealers in the United Arab Emrirates and China. 

The Revo is in direct competition with Pietermaritzburg-based Neil Woolridge Motorsport’s Ranger, which is also built to meet the latest FIA T1.1 class specification for petrol 4x4 race vehicles. 

The compettion shows how successful boutique race car factories can be to earn foreign currcency for Mzansi. These boutique factories include Backdraft Racing in Durban and Glynn Hall's factory in Johannesburg, which is backed by Toyota Gazoo Raciung.
