Marshall Motoart has been making off-the-wall vehicles as long as we can remember hearing the name. Founder Chris Burke has a knack for the obscure, offering up a mix of ratrod style with an infusion of flavor all his own. One of his most famous projects is a lifted (term not to be used lightly) RZR 4 with a sizeable American V8 engine at its heart. For this project, Chris went the other way.

Starting with a brand-new Polaris RZR XP1000, Chris essentially ditched everything but the plastics and the driveline. A truck full of aluminum stock delivered his building materials, and he went to work, crafting his next work of art. A rough sketch and a single idea would define the build- “Superleggera”, Italian for “Super Light”.

Fans of the exotic car world will recognize the moniker as familiar Lamborghini dialect- Lambo has been coining the term for lightweight versions of their supercars for years. The heart of Marshall’s build would be a complete aluminum frame, replacing the steel unit on the XP1000’s and changing its dimensions by extreme amounts. The build was restructured as a single seat vehicle, narrowing the RZR’s overall cab width by 5 inches. To keep the dimensions sleek, Marshall chopped a full 17” off of the cab height, and added 8 inches of length in the center. The overall effect is similar to a bullet with four extremely long suspension arms spanning from its center.
