Bowler Nemesis: 500Hp Beast Based On The Range Rover Sport

The Nemesis is the work of British Off-Road specialist Bowler and it’s developed to take on the world's most hardcore rallies, such as the Dakar. The Bowler Nemesis is based on the Range Rover Sport from which it borrows about 40 percent of its components. That includes the Range Rover’s 4.2-liter supercharged V8 that produces in stock form 385 Hp. Bowler however, converted the fuel system from petrol to E85 bio-ethanol and remapped the engine management system increasing output to over 500Hp. Of course such a beast doesn’t come for cheap as Bowler charges $244,000 or €173,000 for a complete Nemesis.
