Team Durango have at long last announced the price for the long-long-awaited 'Durango' electric buggy, the DEX410. At the same time, and possibly to cushion the blow at the high price of that car in this economic climate, a 'sport' version of the car has also been announced with a lower spec called the DEX410
R, though details are yet to be finalised.
Street price for the real-deal DEX410 is said to be US$650,
€510 or £450 - making it the most expensive 10th electric buggy in production, though the quality also speaks for itself.

Pricing –
The DEX410 was conceived pre-“credit-crunch” and is a no-compromise specification with a huge number of new features for the class; this is reflected in the price.
Team Durango considered not launching this ultimate spec car and launching a dumbed-down version instead, (more in line with the cars already available). However racer interest has been so high, and running costs seem to be much lower than current cars out there, that Team Durango is going for it, with the ultimate spec as the launch car.
Due to the “credit crunch” the DEX410R will follow with its launch around September, with a much more normal specification and perhaps even the class standard ball differentials.
Expect the DEX410R to have a street price of around $390 (€306, £270). While the ultimate launch spec DEX410 will be around $650 in the shops. That’s around €510 or £450 in Europe when sales taxes are added.)
