ENTER TO WIN THIS WOLFPACK BUILT MAD MAX POLARIS RZR
UTV WOLFPACK enters the post apocalyptic video game world of Mad Max to build a one of a kind machine based on the Rockstar Energy THIRSTCUTTER in-game vehicle.
The inspiration for the THIRSTCUTTER was born from evaluating real-world vehicles that could blast through harsh desert environments, while also offering athletic abilities to power away from game enemies.
WOLFPACK’S UTV racing experience and core knowledge of Polaris RZR's helped guide Rockstar and WB Games to create a new vehicle type that would enter the Mad Max game.
“A one of a kind project that all boys dream about, we proud to bring this project from an idea to life.” – Jason Merrell
Working in collaboration with Engage In-Game Advertising and the affiliated partners of the project, WOLFPACK began translating the virtual characteristics of the THIRSTCUTTER, into physical elements, materials and fabrication tactics that would deliver the closest possible replication of the vehicle.
Wolfpack sent images of their current race RZR stripped down to Avalanche Studios. Within a short amount of time Avalanche Studios transformed the pictures into these 3D digital renderings.
“After receiving the renderings from Avalanche Studios, I thought what did I just get myself into. But was also excited to make it come to life” -Jason Merrell (UTV Wolfpack)
Wolfpack knew this was going to be a long time consuming project so they started building the cage right away.
“The kind of project every fabricator dreams about” -Ricky Silber
