The Dacia Sandrider is an off-road competition car, built by Dacia together with Prodrive to participate in various competitions in the rally raid. It has been used in the FIA Ultimate T1+ class since the end of 2024, replacing the Prodrive Hunter that it was based on.
Specifications

Dacia stressed that the Dacia Sandrider is not just a redesigned Prodrive Hunter. Unlike the Prodrive Hunter, the Sandrider has, among other things, a new engine from the Nissan Z, a new chassis and suspension, and a redesigned body. The Dacia Sandrider consists of a carbon body on a tubular frame chassis with a reinforced subframe and reinforced shock absorbers and suspension with double wishbones. It has a sequential 6-speed gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive on 37×12.5 R17 BF Goodrich and 350 mm suspension travel.
Competition history
The Dacia Sandrider made its rally raid debut at the at the Rallye du Maroc 2024, replacing the Prodrive Hunter the team had run. There, Nasser Al-Attiyah won, Sebastien Loeb second and Cristina Gutiérrez 82nd.
Dacia is set to compete with three vehicles in the 2025 Dakar Rally and in the entire 2025 World Rally-Raid Championship season. Al-Attiyah, Loeb and Gutiérrez will continue to drive the car for 2025. At the 2025 Dakar Rally, Loeb was forced to retire early on after he flipped his car, causing damage to the roll cage that the organizers deemed structural. Meanwhile, Gutiérrez was also taken out of contention due to a technical defect. Only Al-Attiyah was classified, placing fourth overall after winning the final stage.
