Overland Ursine Voyager
2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R
The Overland Ursine Voyager transforms the iconic 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R from a precision sports coupe into a rugged overland expedition machine. Embracing a widebody architecture with reinforced steel tubing and carbon fiber panels, this build significantly widens the track for enhanced stability on unpredictable terrain. Its raised suspension and 18-inch mud-terrain tires prioritize durability and grip over speed, while the bespoke flat steel hood with integrated solar panels and cooling vents supports prolonged self-sufficiency in remote environments.
Powering this transformation is a purpose-built turbocharged diesel engine, replacing the original rotary for improved torque and fuel economy essential for extended wilderness travel. The rear cargo module expands storage capacity with armored access and provisions for water and fuel, making the Ursine Voyager a true expedition-ready machine that respects the RX-7’s purist roots while boldly reimagining its potential for adventure.
