saw that looks very nice, not sure how practical off road though.

Yeah, pretty useless off road with those 21' wheels. They need to jam that engine in the upcoming ute, and bring it down under.

These things are freaking awesome. The thing that interested me the most at the Brisbane Motorshow aside from the exotica. My favourite is the torque figure. 850Nm at 2000rpm. That's just freaking ridiculous. :D
Also they can't fit the battery in the engine bay. It's in the rear boot well where the spare tyre would normally go (not that the 21" rims and tyres on this baby would fit in there anyway). :cool:
Optional automatic closing rear tailgate is also wicked.

Saw one at the dealers yesterday, I agree absolutely awesome, who cares if it really can't go offroad. Put a dozer blade on the front with all that torque and you can make your own road!
