The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) students drove the SUV, which doubles as a small campervan, from Tangier in northern Morocco across dry riverbeds, steep mountain passes, and loose sand before arriving at the Sahara desert three days later.

      This might blow your mind, so take a seat:

      Car companies test and sell their cars outside of the country that the company is based.

      VW sells cars outside of Germany. Mazda sell cars outside of Japan. Hyundai sells cars outside of South Korea.
