It looks like something straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, turns heads wherever it goes and has become one of the most talked-about vehicles in the world. Now, Ireland’s only Tesla Cybertruck is set to make a special appearance at Bunratty Castle in County Clare on Saturday, November 14th from 10am to 5pm as part of the Cannonball Overland 4×4 Adventure, taking place from 13th-15th November 2026.
Tesla’s Cybertruck fundamentally reimagines the pickup truck, delivering better utility than a traditional truck and more performance than a sports car. Its futuristic design defined by angular exoskeleton edges and ultra durable stainless-steel draws inspiration from cyberpunk aesthetics seen in iconic films like Blade Runner and The Spy Who Loved Me, setting it apart from any other vehicle on the road. Not legal for general sale or standard road use in Europe, this is the only Cybertruck in Ireland, sure to draw a crowd, as for majority of people, this is the first opportunity to see it up close.
The extraordinary all-electric machine will be on static display at Bunratty Castle Hotel, creating a striking contrast between cutting-edge automotive technology and one of Ireland’s most iconic medieval locations. While the Cybertruck will not be participating in the driving tour, its special appearance offers motoring enthusiasts and curious spectators a rare opportunity to get up close to one of the world’s most unconventional vehicles.
The special display adds another dimension to the Cannonball Overland 4×4 Adventure – The Clare Tour, a spectacular driving experience bringing together an impressive collection of luxury SUVs, powerful off-roaders and adventure enthusiasts for an unforgettable journey through some of Ireland’s most breathtaking landscapes.
From the iconic Land Rover Defender and mighty Ford Raptor to luxury machines such as the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus, the event will showcase an extraordinary variety of vehicles as participants explore the roads less travelled.
The route takes in some of County Clare’s most spectacular scenery, including the otherworldly limestone landscapes of the Burren, the dramatic Atlantic coastline at Fanore and Doolin, the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, Loop Head Peninsula and the winding Corkscrew Hill. Along the way, participants will experience a carefully planned combination of scenic coastal drives, rugged trails and greenlaning, all against the magnificent backdrop of the Wild Atlantic Way.
But Cannonball has never been just about the cars. Renowned for its infectious energy, camaraderie and sense of adventure, the weekend promises the signature Cannonball experience, combining extraordinary vehicles and spectacular driving with great food, warm hospitality, cosy pubs, roaring fires and plenty of Cannonball craic.
All Cannonball events throughout 2026 are also helping to raise vital funds and awareness for official charity partner Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland. When a child is seriously ill and receiving hospital treatment far from home, Ronald McDonald House provides families with accommodation, care and support close to their child for as long as they need it.
Since opening in Ireland in November 2004, the charity has supported more than 5,400 families. Up to the start of this year, Cannonball had raised over €2.3million for Irish children’s charities, with the events of 2026 set to add significantly to that impressive fundraising legacy.
The Cannonball Overland 4×4 Adventure takes place from Friday 13th to Sunday, 15th November 2026, with County Clare providing the spectacular setting for this unique celebration of motoring, adventure and the great outdoors.
