And now a new concept with the same name will be presented at the Detroit Auto Show.

As you can see the design is a radical one but has some classic lines resembling older Y-Job (the first concept car in history) and Le Sabre models.

The body is mainly made of carbon fibre and with its Gullwing doors.

The HX features a number of removable or changeable body panels to increase both its off-road ability and practicality.

The roof panels, fastback rear glass and even the doors can all be quickly removed to create an exposed to the elements dune basher and to help with tight spots out in the wilds the flared wheelarches covering the mammoth 35-inch tall tyres can be removed with a few twists of an allen key.

The dashboard comprises three LCD screens mimicking conventional instruments but which can be reconfigured to reflect driving conditions so when off-roading in low-ratio mode the redundant speedometer becomes a wheel angle display.

It has a 3.6-litre V6 engine designed to run on E85 bioethanol and driving all four wheels.

Front and rear locking differentials and an anti-roll bar that can be electronically disconnected boost the car’s all terrain ability.
