The Tomcar is a type of off-road vehicle similar to a dune buggy.
The Tomcar was designed originally to bridge the gap between all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), which are very maneuverable but also dangerous as they do not feature a rollcage or seatbelts and which cannot be driven for long periods, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), which are less adept at off-road work, and more expensive.
The Tomcar's rigid one-piece steel frame was originally designed and built for the Israel Defence Forces, and has grown commercially from within the high performance motor sports community. The Tomcar is made in one, two and four seat models, and is powered by a variety unleaded petrol & diesel engines. It also uses a CVT transmission system, and a chain driven final drive system.
The Tomcar was developed in Israel over the last 15 years, it is currently used by the Israeli military to patrol its borders and carry out various military missions. The Tomcar is now available to the public for both commercial and recreational use.
