The Beelzebuggy Carabid is a Buggy that appears in MotorStorm and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. It resembles a Volkswagen Beetle (or Bug) converted into a buggy, as is commonly done in real life. Its roof has been chopped off and replaced and reinforced with a metal plate while the chassis was replaced with tube framing. Spare tires and other equipment have also been fitted behind the driver as well.
Trivia[]
- It seems to use a rear suspension rather identical to that of a close competitor...
- The "spotlights" are placed on where the indicator lights would be on a real Volkswagen Beetle/Bug.
- In Pacific Rift, the body of the Carabid is also used on the Beelzebuggy Bombadier.
- On several Pacific Rift tracks, wrecked Carabids can be found with the Dakar livery.
- Much like the Castro Robusto & Voodoo Rattler, This is one of the very few base game vehicles that doesn't carry any player liveries from MotorStorm over to Pacific Rift.
- In Motorstorm, Danger Kenright (white "Accelereighty" livery), Finbar Mellon (black/orange livery), Mira Hawk (dark blue "Sonix" livery), Tom Pullan (white "Dakar" livery), Randi Vedeld (green/yellow #33 livery) and Riza Shadmahar (orange "Spare Parts" livery) are the AI characters seen driving this vehicle.
- In Pacific Rift, Edward T. Foxbat (orange "Spare Parts" livery), Janine Brazon (white "Dakar" livery) and "Weeman" Jones (dark blue "Sonix" livery) are the AI Characters seen driving this vehicle.
- It is interesting to note that these same 3 drivers also drive the 3 Castro Robusto's and Ibex Bushfire's in their respective liveries.
- The aforementioned “Dakar” livery is also shared with the Monarch Bulldog, although it is white on the Carabid and grey on the Bulldog.
