Remember when Ineos said it was planning to get the Grenadier on sale for less than £40,000? Well, they ever so slightly missed that mark – but even then, the latest version of the vehicle has landed with a fairly otherworldly
price tag.
Called the Trialmaster X LeTech, this comes in at a cool €170,000 plus VAT and local taxes. A monster of a price, to be
sure – but you get a monster of a vehicle for it.
That’s because of what LeTech does. Founded in 2009, the German company started out restoring and modifying
classic 4x4s before branching into oneoff, custom off-roaders and low-volume production vehicles for OEM clients. The
company has been an official Ineos sales and service partner since 2021 – and now it’s created the most extreme version of the Grenadier so far.
Shown in prototype form at last year’s Festival of Speed, the conversion is built around a pair of portal axles. Allowing
the fitment of 37” BFGoodrich Mud- Terrain tyres on 8.5×18” ET55 Hutchinson Industries forged beadlock alloys, these
increase the vehicle’s ground clearance to 450mm and its wading depth to 1050mm.
Since that first public unveiling, the vehicle has been developed and readied for production – and now, almost exactly a year later, the order books are open.
