Rally Charger
2000 Lincoln Town Car
The 2000 Lincoln Town Car Rally Charger is a bold reinterpretation of full-size American luxury as a rugged gravel rally contender. Its Kevlar and carbon fiber widebody arches extend the track by over 350mm total, offering both aggressive stance and crucial impact resistance for off-road abuse. The suspension is re-engineered for extreme travel and high ground clearance, blending dual-rate springs and reinforced sway bars to navigate loose surfaces with confidence while maintaining the Town Car’s inherent composure.
Underneath the hood, a rebuilt 5.0L V8 features rally-grade management and drivetrain upgrades, delivering torque and reliability for demanding rally stages. Aerodynamic elements like the expansive heat-vented hood, multi-element rear wing, and integrated rally light pods coalesce into a purposeful package designed for high-speed gravel stability and driver visibility. This build captures an authentic, technical spirit that marries the unexpected heritage of a luxury sedan with the visceral demands of rally racing.

Wave 06
Rally Everything: Vol. 1
We grabbed some unlikely champions from different decades and forced them into the brutal world of rally raids where sand, snow, and gravel don’t just punish — they humiliate the unprepared. Our builds crush the notion of what a rally car should be by taking everything from a 1987 Chevy Celebrity to a 2020 Tesla Model Y and mutating them into desert marauders, snowbound predators, and gravel hill climb warriors.
