Schumacher has announced it is to launch the Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ which they describe as ‘a homage to one of the most beautiful and best performing buggies ever created.  The Cougar 2 Works was the ultimate development of the Schumacher aluminium pan chassis 2WD buggies of the late 80’s and early 90’s.  The Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ is a reproduction of this Iconic buggy, with subtle improvements to durability and battery fitting, for modern vintage racing.  It features an eye catching violet anodised chassis and motor plates.  It includes high performance period option parts such as roller driveshafts, carbon fibre shock towers, ‘Works’ suspension geometry and low friction ‘Pro’ spec shock absorbers.  Dealer pre-orders are being taken with kits due late December 2024.
