Video: Hammering a crazy off-road machine in the wild

Things we’ve just added to our Christmas list: Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo R. This video might be the entire reason for that. On this private rally stage, Piotr Fetela takes our future present for a drive, but when we say he pushes it, we really mean it. With no co-driver, we’re guessing he knows the track like the back of his hand. Piotr smoothly slides his way through this American countryside like a rally champion, barely even touching the brakes.

The Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo R makes an addictive noise. One that’s reminiscent of some 1990s rally cars. So, if you’re looking to connect with your inner Colin McRae, this might just be the best way to do it. With 200PS (147kW) it might not sound like it’ll be that quick, but when you factor in that it weighs as much as thimble, it’s going to shift.
