  • More Grenadier Detour Model from INEOS South Africa

    More Grenadier Detour Model from INEOS South Africa

    Last summer, niche British 4×4 manufacturer INEOS announced their own in-house tailor called Arcane Works. Several examples of what they were capable of building were shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, leaving the door open for future specials from the marque. One of those models shown there, the Grenadier Detour, has been confirmed as more production ready.

    More recently, INEOS South Africa has revealed even more details. We’re going to go ahead and post the press copy we’ve found in researching the model further here, but also make sure to check out INEOS South Africa’s Detour micro site. INEOS U.S. doesn’t seem to have this content yet, so we wanted to make sure you have it.

    INEOS Automotive has unveiled the first limited edition vehicle from its newly created Arcane Works division, the INEOS Grenadier Detour. Just 200 of the hand finished 4X4s will be produced, using bespoke design elements and working with UK craftsmen to allow customers to add their own personal style alongside custom-made specifications.

    Unveiled at Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Detour retains all the Grenadier’s refined dynamics and off-road capabilities, while customers can select from an extensive range of external and internal design options to enhance both the vehicle’s level of personalisation and its long-distance comfort. Continuing to offer a choice of two straight-six, 3.0-litre BMW engines that have a proven track record in refined driving, the Detour will use an exclusively tailored exhaust system in petrol models to enhance the sound character and emotion of the vehicle.”

    Detour models will be identifiable by their unique 18-inch forged alloy wheels, a specially designed front grille with headlight surrounds, and four new dedicated paint finishes – Magma Red, Whiteout Blue, Squall Green and Storm Force Silver which are each polished by hand to enhance the finish. Along with the four exclusive colour options, Detour drivers seeking the ultimate in personalisation can select the Arcane Works bespoke paint option that uses a colour matching system which bases the paint colour on a sample provided by the customer or matched to an existing vehicle they may own. Their Detour will then be hand-sprayed in this one-off colour, and hand-polished to a high sheen in the UK. 

    A specially created exterior contrast pack has been created that includes new colour options of the front and rear skid plates, roof rails and rear ladder, whilst exterior lighting has been decoloured to provide a sleek visual.

    The cabin environment will offer a high level of personalisation with a choice two new satin finishes for the transmission tunnel, doors and air-vents, and tactile leathers and fabrics for key driver touch points. As well as the option of four fine-grain Bridge of Weir leathers for the quilted seat upholstery, and two cashmeres from Johnstons of Elgin for the headlining, all Detour models will feature a laser-etched aluminium door scuff plate displaying the vehicle’s limited-edition status. Understated Arcane Works exterior and interior badging is created by British jewellers, Vaughtons.

    Each run of limited-edition vehicles from Arcane Works will showcase a unique set of features, and carry a specifically tailored name. Arcane Works will also become a test bed for new technologies and systems for future INEOS vehicles, such as uprated engine modifications, new chassis systems, and many new materials and features.

  • INEOS Teases Arcane Works with Grenadier Detour

    INEOS Teases Arcane Works with Grenadier Detour

    Though practically a brand-new company, INEOS and its tactile Grenadier lineup continue to make strides. Today, it’s the sharing of a first product from their Arcane Works division, which in INEOS speak is the name of their in-house tailoring service.

    What you see here is the Grenadier Detour. According to a post by INEOS on their social channels, the Detour is a limited-edition model created by Arcane Works. It features an 18-inch forged alloy wheel design we’ve not yet seen before on their existing model range. Inside, there’s a leather interior in a tan named Sahara Sand featuring unique V pattern embroidery.

    On the outside is also-new Squall Green metallic paint. It’s unclear at this time whether all Grenadier Detours will be painted Squall Green or not.

    INEOS Unveils Custom Grenadier Quartermaster Kaiju

    • INEOS Automotive presents first special project build: ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’
    • Custom build leverages partnerships with class-leading accessory suppliers
    • Demonstrates the infinite customisation possibilities available with the INEOS Grenadier and Quartermaster
    • Visually arresting all-black off-roader features Norweld tray and canopy, JMACX suspension enhancements, Brown Davis long range fuel tank, and REDARC battery and battery management systems
    • Kaiju Quartermaster will be seen at events cross Australia over the next few months

    [source: INEOS Automotive]

    Australia – INEOS Automotive’s Australian operation has built a one-off special Grenadier Quartermaster Cab Chassis: the ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’. The name, meaning a mythical ‘giant creature’ or ‘monster’ in Japanese, was chosen to convey the powerful capabilities of the Grenadier, and acknowledges Australia’s love affair with modified Japanese 4×4 vehicles.

    The striking all-black Kaiju Quartermaster is based on the strong foundation of the Quartermaster Cab Chassis ute, which is engineered to deliver a class-leading combination of off-road capability and load-carrying versatility for work and adventure. The one-off ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’ has been built in partnership with some of Australia’s most innovative and reputable third-party accessory suppliers, including Norweld, Rhino-Rack, Brown Davis, REDARC, JMACX, GME, BF Goodrich, MAXTRAX, and STEDI*.

    With a fully blacked-out exterior and commanding presence, the Kaiju project has resulted in a unique off-roader that epitomises an iconic heavily modified Aussie 4×4 overlander, while showcasing the infinite customisation possibilities available to Grenadier and Quartermaster customers.

    Justin Hocevar, Regional Director, APAC at INEOS Automotive commented: “We wanted to create a truly unique Quartermaster together with some incredibly innovative local engineering & accessory partners. The Quartermaster Cab Chassis is a ‘blank canvas’ that allows for great versatility when it comes to customisation, so together with these project partners, we let our imagination run wild. Ultimately, the ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’ expresses our Australian vision of Built For More.”

    Equipment on the special build includes premium fitment options such as the Norweld Elite Tray and Compact Deluxe Lite Canopy, engineered to handle extreme conditions while being lightweight and designed with a gutter system and rubber seals to ensure dust and water resistance on the most extreme overlanding adventures.

    The ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’ is also fitted with the Brown Davis long range fuel tank #IG23A2 – tucked neatly behind the rear bumper, giving explorers the ultimate option for remote travel with a total of 168 litres on top of the factory 90-litre tank.

    To provide unparalleled performance and enhanced protection, REDARC’s range of RS3 Pure Sine Wave Inverters, Alpha150 150A lithium battery and Manager Alpha50 have also been fitted, giving the ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’ a complete battery management system for the most demanding recreational and off-grid energy needs.

    Unusually, INEOS Automotive extends the vehicle’s warranty to cover select aftermarket components from official accessories partners when ordered through retailers. This provides customers with cast-iron peace-of-mind even when customizing their Grenadier or Quartermaster to suit their own particular needs.

    The ‘Kaiju Quartermaster’ will be seen utilised across events and for promotional purposes in Australia over the next few months.

  • INEOS Automotive Hints at Future 4x4s, with Troop of Grenadier Prototypes

    INEOS Automotive Hints at Future 4x4s, with Troop of Grenadier Prototypes

    • The award-winning INEOS Grenadier’s versatility and adaptability is on display at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the public debut of a troop of Grenadier prototypes, including:
      • A portal-axled Grenadier Quartermaster and Station Wagon modified by LeTech with increased ground clearance and wading depth
      • A short-bed Quartermaster pick-up (nicknamed the ‘Shortermaster’) created by INEOS engineers, alongside a V8-powered station wagon built by apprentices at engineering partner, Magna
      • An 8-seater Safari conversion from Botswana based INEOS Kavango that takes game-viewing to the next level
      • The first FIA-compliant rally ready Grenadier created by Buzz Special Vehicles on show in the Goodwood Off-Road Arena
    • Lynn Calder, CEO, INEOS Automotive, comments, “The Grenadier’s body-on-frame chassis has already proven itself to be incredibly versatile, so as we look to future product and limited editions, we want to keep innovating. As our new brand campaign states, the Grenadier is Built For More, and over the next few years we will be showing just what that means.”

    [source: INEOS Automotive]

    London, 11th July 2024 – INEOS Automotive gave a glimpse of potential future Grenadier variants at Goodwood Festival of Speed, with a series of prototypes underlining the versatility of the robust body-on-frame 4X4. A big, bold and beautiful portal-axled Grenadier Quartermaster and Station Wagon were shown alongside a short-bed Quartermaster Pick-Up, a V8-powered Station Wagon, an eight-seater Safari conversion and the first FIA approved rally modified Grenadier.

    Taking the off-road capabilities of the Grenadier Station Wagon and Quartermaster Pick-Up to literally new heights, renowned German vehicle modifiers LeTech GmbH & Co KG, a retail partner of INEOS Automotive, introduced a raised chassis fitted with portal axles and offset wheel hubs that increase ground clearance by 250mm to 514mm and wading depth from 800mm to 1050mm. Larger off-road tyres complete the modifications. The portal axle Grenadier already has real-world applications, as similarly modified vehicles were recently delivered to the fire brigade in Mühlheim an der Ruhr, Germany.

    The short-bed Quartermaster Pick-Up, nicknamed the ‘Shortermaster’, was created by INEOS engineers at the Hambach production plant in France. Based on a standard Grenadier Station Wagon, the wheelbase of the double-cab pick-up measures 2922mm / 115 inches, a full 305mm / 12 inches shorter than the Quartermaster. The rear seats have been pushed forward to maximise the capacity of the load bay, which is fully integrated into the chassis.

    The Grenadier V8 Prototype was created as a one-off project for INEOS partner Magna’s engineering apprentices to give them hands-on experience of the Grenadier. This resulted in a complete powertrain exchange, replacing the Grenadier’s BMW 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine with a GM 6.2-litre V8 petrol unit that develops 317kW and 625Nm. The swap required a complete re-engineering of the engine mounts, engine electrics and electronics, water and oil cooling, exhaust manifold and rear silencer, transmission bearings and heat shields, as well a revised centre console.

    The eight-seat Safari game-viewer is a converted Quartermaster Pick-Up by Botswana based INEOS Kavango, which creates extensive specialist modifications for the conservation, safari, anti-poaching, veterinary, primary healthcare and film production sectors. The vehicle comfortably accommodates three tiered rows of seats offering excellent visibility for all passengers; enhanced off-road protection from bespoke front and side protection bars; bespoke alloy wheels shod in off-road tyres to tackle the most demanding safari terrain.

    Showing the Grenadier’s compatibility with high-speed, off-road motorsport, Buzz Special Vehicles displayed the first FIA-compliant Grenadier. Extensively modified to compete in the 2025 World Rally-Raid Championship, the Buzz-prepped Grenadier features an uprated version of the Grenadier’s BMW 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine that develops 260kW and 550Nm (a 50kW and 100Nm increase over the production engine), complemented by a sports exhaust system, race suspension from Warwick-based R53 outfit, uprated brakes, and bespoke alloy wheels. A stripped-out cabin with full internal roll-cage, racing bucket seats and carbon interior door panels and roof vents completes the racing modifications.
