The Land Rover Terrapod takes you off-road
Conquering inhospitable deserts, traversing fast-flowing rivers, scaling rain-soaked hillsides: you haven’t fully experienced a Land Rover until you’ve witnessed its abilities off-road. And now you can do just that as our Mini-Terrapod has been purposely built so we can bring the vehicles and the entertainment to you! Experience the Land Rover range from a whole new angle on the amazing Mini-Terrapod, putting them through their paces by simulating some of the toughest situations a Land Rover might meet off-road – the only thing that’s missing is the mud. Witness Land Rovers’ climbing and descent abilities through a 2.6 metre up and over section; experience their stability as they scale a side slope taking them to angles of 24 degrees and over; see for yourself how they clear obstacles through the Mini-Terrapod’s “walking holes” and side slope features. If you have ever wondered what makes a Land Rover so special, then you will be able to find out for yourself at the  Terrier Racing
