The Rallye des Pharaons, held on October 3-11 over 1800 miles of western Egypt desert, concluded this
year’s endurance rally with three Wildcat 4x4s leading all cars and trucks.

Even after landing on top of all cars and trucks, Decre was anxious to get to their next event: “For sure
there were some impressive cars at the technical check but in the end, we can say that the reliability of
the Wildcat is more proven,” he said. “We hope to repeat the success in December on the Eco Rally
Africa Race.”
The Wildcat is a purpose-built off-roader originally conceived by U.K.-based Bowler. Qt Services acquired the rights to the former Bowler machine last year and is now the primary manufacturer and supporter of all Wildcats worldwide. Based on the Land Rover Defender, the Qt Services Wildcat currently features a newly developed, close-ratio, straight-cut gearbox, a revised steering system, and an all-new Jaguar 4.0-liter V-8 housed within its tube chassis. Sixty-millimeter Donerre lithium quick-rebound dampers are mounted beneath the Wildcat for improved handling and traction.
