R037
The 2015 Chrysler 200 has been radically transformed into the Sand Smasher, a widebody desert sand racer engineered for relentless high-speed performance on dunes. This build features massive carbon fiber fender flares, aggressive aero components, and a lifted long-travel suspension setup optimized for desert endurance. Underneath the sculpted bodywork lies a turbocharged 2.4L inline-4 engine paired with a reinforced 6-speed manual transmission, delivering 290 hp tailored for torque spikes and sustained power delivery in harsh sand conditions.
Blueprint // R037
The Sand Smasher is engineered for desert dune racing, featuring widened track widths (1800mm front, 1850mm rear) to improve lateral stability on loose sand, combined with a lifted suspension and long-travel geometry to absorb harsh terrain and maintain traction at sustained high speeds.
Massive 320mm front and 350mm rear riveted carbon fiber fender flares with integrated venting channels.
Expanded front track to 1800mm and rear track to 1850mm from stock 1590mm.
Fully vented aluminum hood with dual NACA ducts and sand deflector lips.
Raised vented fiberglass rear hatch cover integrated into trunk for air filter and spare wheel storage.
Extended rear diffuser edges doubling diffuser length to 350mm.
Dual NACA ducts on hood for heat extraction.
Sand deflector lips at leading edge of hood.
Raised vented fiberglass bed cover acting as air intake and cooling channel.
Large adjustable upturned carbon wing mounted on rear hatch for downforce.
Extended rear diffuser edges for enhanced airflow management.
Aerodynamics focus on heat extraction and sand management, featuring a fully vented aluminum hood with dual NACA ducts, sand deflector lips, a raised vented rear hatch cover acting as an air intake and cooling channel, a large adjustable carbon wing for rear downforce, and extended rear diffuser edges to optimize airflow under and around the vehicle.
17x9.5" BF Goodrich Baja T/A beadlock wheels.
35x12.5" LT tires designed for maximum flotation on sand.
17x9.5" BF Goodrich Baja T/A beadlock wheels ensure tire retention under extreme off-road conditions. Paired with 35x12.5" LT tires, these wheels provide exceptional flotation and grip on shifting sand surfaces.
Raised stance with an 80mm lift over stock height, incorporating reinforced long-travel suspension arms and coilovers with 120mm travel to enable compliant and stable dune riding without sacrificing control or responsiveness.
Turbocharged 2.4L inline-4 optimized for desert endurance and torque delivery
paired with a custom 6-speed manual transmission featuring a reinforced clutch to handle torque spikes and provide precise control in variable terrain.
Modified 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 delivering 290 hp, calibrated for high torque output and thermal efficiency in desert environments. Equipped with enhanced cooling via hood vents and optimized intake filtration for sand ingestion protection.
Custom 6-speed manual transmission with reinforced clutch assembly designed to endure torque spikes and provide responsive gear shifts under desert racing conditions.
Fender flares constructed from riveted carbon fiber panels for lightweight strength and integrated brake cooling.
Aluminum hood fabricated with full venting and dual NACA ducts, incorporating sand deflector lips molded into leading edge.
Rear hatch replaced with a vented fiberglass bed cover designed to house air filter and spare wheel while maintaining structural rigidity.
Suspension components reinforced and extended to accommodate 120mm coilover travel and 80mm lift for dune compliance.
Beadlock wheels built to withstand extreme desert conditions and maintain tire integrity under high torque loads.
