Vanderhall Launches Off-Road Brawley GTS

What Is It?

Utah-based Vanderhall made a name for itself by making a series of very strange three-wheelers. Most of them are powered by turbocharged engines from General Motors that are 1.4 and 1.5 liters in size.

It also made the Edison2, which does not have an internal combustion engine and instead runs on electricity. The new Brawley is also 100% electric, but it is very different from any Vanderhall that came before it.

It has four wheels, for one thing. It was made to be a real off-roader, with big 35-inch tires like those on the Jeep Wrangler with the Xtreme Recon Package and the Ford Bronco Badlands with the Sasquatch Package.

Electric cars are in the news again.

With a suspension travel of 22 inches (56 centimeters), the Brawley is expected to be able to go anywhere without using any fossil fuel.

The GTS version, which has the longest range, has four electric motors inside, one for each wheel. Together, they help the car reach a maximum power of 404 hp and a torque of 651 Nm right away.

The electric motors get their power from a 40 or 60 kWh battery pack, which in the second case gives the car a range of up to 322 kilometers.

Why Would You Want It

It is more like a concept car than any other Vanderhall model because it has a fully enclosed cabin and four seats. It has a roof that can be taken off, heated seats, windshield wipers, and air conditioning.

The Brawley has regenerative braking, just like other electric cars, and it is important to note that it has carbon-ceramic brakes, just like high-performance electric cars like the Porsche Taycan or Audi e-tron GT.

The Brawley will be available from Vanderhall in 2022. The price has not been announced, but it is likely to be much more than the $34,950 Edison2 (29,550 euros at current exchange rates).

No matter how much it costs, the Brawley is an electric off-roader with a retro look. It has four-wheel steering, transparent doors, and a simple interior so that you can focus on what is important: the track.

How Much Is It?

Brawley GTS Price:  The standard Vanderhall Brawley costs USD 34,950, the Brawley GT costs USD 42,950, and the Brawley GTS costs USD 49,950. Vanderhall is taking $100 deposits to reserve the Brawley, but it has not said when it will start delivering the cars to customers.

Conclusion

They are fun to drive that’s an undeniable statement.  We are not going to give you an unbiased opinion on this.  At least four of our employees are thought to have put down deposits on one of these, and they can not wait to try out the Brawley for themselves.

We are going to leave it for time until we get our hands on them we won’t have any opinions but we should point out that Vanderhall has made other electric cars before the Brawley. That honor goes to the Edison, a three-wheeled roadster that came out in 2018 and, at least according to the company’s German website, is sold out for 2021 and will be replaced by a new version in 2022.  So they have some experience.

Quote from manufacturer

At Vanderhall, we believe we have created–revitalized, a driving experience that returns the motorist to the golden age of motoring–driving for the sake of driving. In the early days of motoring, the thrill was in the feel of the road. Operating a vehicle that made you want to be a part of it. If we could transport a Vanderhall back in time to the early days of motoring, they would marvel, but they would feel it belongs.
