The suspension setup has been revised to offer more travel, and reduce squatting when accelerating and diving under braking, which in turn should mean better body control and more tyre contact that will help with grip off-road. K-Tech aluminium coil-overs with dual rate springs are standard, but more advanced Ohlins and Bilstein dampers are available as an option.
The standard brakes are 40 per cent bigger than before, but four-piston calipers and vented discs can be added, along with a system to adjust the front/rear brake bias and a hydraulic handbrake for off-road use. Driver adjustable launch and traction control, developed to work on- and off-road, are also available.
As before, the Nomad’s “tough, almost unbreakable” body panels are made from the same material used for traffic cones. Meanwhile the interior features drain holes so it can be hosed down after a day in the mud, new switchgear and a 305mm steering wheel with just two turns from lock-to-lock. The TFT display for the driver has gear shift lights, shows gear position and the feed from the reversing camera when needed.
A single technician will be responsible for the entire build of each Nomad 2, from a base chassis to the final test drive. Buyers will also be presented with well over 100 options, meaning every Nomad 2 will be unique and tailor-made to the driver’s requirements. This all helps to explain the starting price of £67,992.
