THE DRIVE

The Falcon Has Landed: The Wild World of Falcon Hunting Cars

Falconry vehicles are heavily modified in order to launch the birds while moving.

KRISTIN V. SHAW / Updated on Jan 18, 2021

“ Falconry, the art of hunting game with trained birds of prey, is a big deal in the Middle East. While falconry itself is an ancient practice in the desert and a means of survival, doing so from within a moving vehicle is a much more recent development. Companies like Newport Convertible Engineering build for this purpose, expertly slicing the top off models like Nissan Patrols or GMC Yukons to add modifications that accommodate the majestic birds and their owners.
In the form of eco-tourism, visitors to Abu Dhabi can visit a reserve managed by Abu Dhabi’s Ministry of Climate Change and Environment to hunt. Muscular birds perched on their arms, trainers release the falcons when prey is spotted and the hunting party gives chase, honking, hooting, and hollering. This is not a sport for the weak-stomached or the budget-conscious, either. Falcons easily cost upwards of $100,000 to $4,000,000 each, not to mention food, training, and habitat building. They’re more high-maintenance than the SUVs and cars the hunters use, requiring daily care and connection.
The hunting vehicles themselves require costly modifications starting with the removal of the top half and installing extra sets of doors, elevator seats, and more. Newport Convertibles armors luxury cars like Mercedes-Maybachs and Rolls-Royce Ghosts too, so they deal in expensive tastes and ship the custom convertibles anywhere you want, if you have the means.
Convertible falcon hunting vehicles can be built from just about anything, it seems, and they’re likely to be crafted around high-end SUVs at the start. They have to be able to tackle the sand dunes and dusty roads at high speed, and these hunters are pulling out all the stops for a posh ride in the process.”

Company Wants To Turn Your GMC Yukon Into A Convertible Hunting Vehicle
 Sam McEachern / January 4, 2021

“There is no shortage of companies out there who are capable of taking almost any hardtop coupe or four-door and transforming it into a soft-top convertible. Newport Convertible Engineering stands out amongst the multitude of these companies, however, as it also specializes in building custom convertible hunting vehicles based on SUVs like the GMC Yukon.
Convertible hunting vehicles like the ones that Newport Convertible Engineering produces can serve as a mobile group blind for hunters on excursions where stationary hunting can be tough. These vehicles combine the off-road capability of an SUV with the open-air experience of a convertible, allowing hunters to see any animals that may be around them and shoot at them without having to aim out of a window.
There’s more to building a custom hunting vehicle than installing an aftermarket convertible top, though. Some of these custom builds feature a lengthened chassis and an extra set of doors, giving hunters more room for their gear. They also feature rear hunting chairs with adjustable height, which can give hunters an elevated view of their surroundings to easily spot birds and other prey they may be after.
Newport Convertible Engineering has built convertible hunting vehicles like this based on the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Suburban. Custom hunting vehicles are often used for Falcon hunting, which is popular in the Middle East, so the company also has some similar hunting builds based on SUVs that are popular in that market like the Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser, for example.
The company does not publicly disclose how much a conversion like this costs, but we can’t imagine it’s cheap. After all, it looks as though the vehicle has to be thoroughly re-engineered to be effectively transformed into a convertible. Furthermore, a GMC Yukon or Chevy Suburban is an expensive vehicle from the factory, so one would have to be fairly well off to buy one as a dedicated hunting rig.”
