The idea of high-performance all-terrain supercars becoming popular in the ultra-luxury automotive segment was once thought to be impossible; however, it is now witnessing a surge in demand. This niche market of extravagant off-road vehicles has been established thanks to icons like the Porsche 911 Dakar and Lamborghini Huracán Serrano. Furthermore, adventure enthusiasts are increasingly favoring these vehicles. Affine Automobile intends to join the competition with its pioneering offering.

If you were to look at its robust structure alone, the car weighs in at 4,850 lbs. Nevertheless, drivers still have access to three specific hydraulic suspension settings that offer various spring stiffness levels and ride heights. All of these options can be selected from the steering wheel.

Some hemp fiber-based composite panels compliment the carbon fiber bodywork encasing the 116" wheelbase of the Tax HyperSUV.  The bodywork measures 196" by 78". The width of 7 inches (ca. 18 cm) exhibits flared exposed carbon wheel arches, a movable rear wing, and a diffuser. A distinctive spider-like formation crowns the hyper-SUV's rear deck lid. It works as both a hydraulic system to lift the full-sized spare wheel and tire and maintains its security using this structure.
