Bowler Nemesis

The Bowler Nemesis is an off-road racing vehicle designed, manufactured and sold by Bowler Off Road. The Nemesis is intended to be used in endurance rally raid events such as the Dakar Rally.

Design and Construction

Like the Bowler Wildcat that preceded it, the Nemesis has a tubular steel spaceframe construction that incorporates a roll cage as an integral part of the frame structure. The spaceframe and roll cage are approved by the Motor Sports Association for racing. Unlike the Wildcat, the Nemesis features a fully independent suspension design.

Bowler will offer the Nemesis with 4.4 or 4.0 liter displacement naturally aspirated V-8 or a 4.2 liter displacement supercharged V-8. A six speed manual transmission is fitted as standard with the option of a dog engagement racing transmission. The vehicle features a 60/40 torque split limited slip center differential with over-lock and limited slip front and rear differentials.

Body panels are made of a composite material called Twin-tex with some carbon fiber pieces in areas where higher strength is required. The Nemesis has a 415 litre capacity racing fuel cell to allow the vehicle to run the longest Dakar Rally stages
