Delta is arguably one of the most experienced and venturing 4x4 tuners in Germany, which they have once again proven at the Essen Motor Show in Germany with the Delta DUNE, a 499 horsepower desert racer.
The Delta DUNE Project car is based on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and reaches 100 km/h from stand-still within 5 seconds. It can do this thanks to a specially developed motor managent system and sport exhaust system with performance manifold.
The exterior of the DUNE has been lifted by 100 mm but has a new front spoiler which lowers the clearance by 50 mm and rides on custom 23 inch Elements IV wheels wrapped in Continental Cross Contact 305/40 R 23 rubber. But, despite of all the power and clearance, Delta has had the foresight to also install the Warn winch, just in case you do manage to get stuck.
To finish the project car, Delta has covered the car in specially painted foil in maroon matt-finish which provides (scratch) protection in extreme conditions.

In less than five seconds from 0 to 100 km/h – no problem for the 499 hp desert racer
The next desert silver bullet is the delta4x4 DUNE PROJECT, based on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. delta4x4 the Bavarian specialist for SUVs maximizes the powerof this striking SUV from 425 hp to 499 hp.
The high performance 4x4 reaches 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds. The harmonic interaction between the specially developed motor-management and a perfectly built sport exhaust system with performance manifold. Combined with the sport cat and modified air feed, add up to even more power gain. The stainless steel exhaust tailpipe completes the jaw-dropping unique look.
Due to the individualized front spoiler (-50 mm), a cool body lift kit (+100 mm) and the custom light wheel Elements IV with 11x23in mounted Continental Cross Contact tires in 305/40 R23, the DUNE PROJECT is allowed to stretch its legs, flex its muscles and demonstrate its athletic skills.
Beautifully intregrated into the front spoiler is the Warn winch, in the unlikey event that this will be needed its good to know you can rely on the best.
delta4x4 presents a brilliant lighting system for its desert racer. The stainless steel roof-rack system and the fender extension contain filigree PIAA main-beam headlights which guarantee absolute visibility on nighttime trips in the dunes.
The DUNE project is covered with a specially painted foil in a hip maroon matt-finish prepared to deal with and protect in extreme conditions.

beefy, matt paint nice. But how well would it do in the desert with those alloys?
