Budget crossover was converted into a budget truck

Popular budget crossover Renault Duster is not happy with the variety of versions. Yes, you can choose the type of drive, motor and transmission, however, there is one version of the body — the five-door. But the home models in the Romanian tuning Studio Romturingia still made fresh touch: the master turned the crossover up in the truck.

If you look at a pair of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado/Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport/Mitsubishi L200 and so on, you may feel that SUVs and pickups tend to live side by side. But the situation with the "Duster" is different in that the basis of this crossover no frame. It turns out that the pickup it turned out to be nominal: the body seems to be a cargo, but substantial capacity of the question.

However, remember that we are talking about Romania. Its the only car brand is Dacia. If we add here the fact that Romania is one of the most poor countries of Europe, the decision on small-scale production of the pickup on the basis of the popular crossover does not look as crazy. To buy Duster-Pickup will be local (i.e. Romanian) of the company.

Exact characteristics of the unusual "Duster" were not disclosed. We only know that under the hood, installed a-liter diesel engine capacity of 110 HP.

It is noteworthy that the truck is built on the basis of a new generation of the Dacia/Renault Duster. This car is already sold in Europe, though the Russians still forced to settle for the previous generation. Localized versions of the Dacia cars are traditionally very long to reach our market, that's the release date of the new "Duster" is still not disclosed.
