A specially equipped Hyundai Santa Cruz truck with an original paint scheme will be piloted by a pair of auto writers in the eight-day, all-women Rebelle Rally in the deserts of California and Nevada starting Oct. 6.

Hyundai Motor America unveiled the paint scheme for the Brute Squad’s 2022 Santa Cruz on Oct. 4. The Brute Squad is the name of the team made up of auto writers Jill Ciminillo and Kristin Shaw, who will pilot the vehicle in the seventh annual Rebelle Rally.

Hyundai Design North America designer Brad Arnold was the exterior design manager for the Santa Cruz and Matt Marble, a senior graphic designer, developed the paint scheme in California. Marble and Arnold took elements from the California surfing culture and combined them with the motif of a custom bandana to create the off-road look for the Rebelle Rally Santa Cruz paint scheme.
