(NEWS) MPH Highlights... Bowler Nemesis

Bowler are a small company headquartered in a rural Derbyshire farmyard.

They make bespoke offroad and Rallycross racers from Land Rover bits; and this is their new baby.

Following on from the devastating;y powerful Wildcat - which was largely based on the Defender, the Nemesis - shown at MPH in Prototype form - get it's DNA from the Range Rover sport.

Engine wise, the Rangey's 4.4 V8 has been whittled down to 4 litres, with a shorter stroke. The six-speed manual gearbox is straight from the V6 Discovery with other bits donated by the RR Sport.

SuperLeaded can reveal that when we last visited Bowler around a year ago the firm were in talks with Land Rover to use the Range Stormer name last seen on LR's original Range Rover Sport concept. Sadly it seems this hasn't panned out, so Nemesis it'll have to be.

The car makes its competition debut next year. If you want to buy one, expect to pay between 70 and 130 thousand pounds.
