Lada Australia is also testing the market with the Swagman, for which it claims 70 per cent local content. It’s looking at $32,000 for a street-legal desert racer with 80 kW engine that will rev to 8000, re-tuned suspension with progressive-rate coils, gas dampers, and heavier roll bar, 43-centimetre alloy rims with 235/45 Goodyear GA Eagle tyres, front air dam, big side sills, tilt sunroof and big square rear pipes.
