  • A Brutalist Masterpiece with Function at Its Core:  Designed by acclaimed industrial artist Joey Ruiter, the Reboot Buggy embodies the idea of returning to the raw essence of driving. Its sharp, geometric aluminum body eliminates unnecessary elements in favor of mechanical purity, creating a functional work of art that challenges conventional vehicle design. This one-off build has been featured in design and automotive publications worldwide, making it an instantly recognizable and highly collectible machine.
  • Uncompromising Performance with a 400-HP V8:  Beneath the angular aluminum body panels lies a 6.3-liter V8 producing an estimated 400 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission, ensuring relentless acceleration and a thrilling driving experience. Massive 40-inch Yokohama tires and an advanced suspension system provide high-speed off-road capability, while a Ford Explorer-sourced braking system deliver serious stopping power.
  • Minimalist Interior with High-Tech Touches:  The cockpit of the Reboot Buggy is intentionally stripped-down, emphasizing raw mechanics while offering modern usability. The single-piece aluminum dash houses a digital display, while racing bucket seats with 4-point harnesses provide a secure driving position.
  • Street-Legal with Clean Michigan Title:  Despite its concept-car origins, the Reboot Buggy is fully street-legal and comes with a clean Michigan title, making it one of the most unique road-going vehicles available. Whether displayed in a collection, driven in urban environments, or unleashed on the dunes, it's an unrepeatable opportunity to own a functional, road-ready piece of modern automotive design.
