Yup, if you can find the 'Aero' model, it should have around 390BHP! Same engine that was in the Corvette of the same era. But they sold very few of the bigger engine version for some reason and most people bought the 6.0 in the Trailblazer SS model instead. Not a great car, but the SS was a bit of a sleeper when compared with other SUV's at the time. And being an LS2 engine, very simple to make small modifications to drive up power. Cheap here in the US too...MXRod said:

Back in the late 60s & 70s my late father used to work quite closely with Leyland in its various guises...I remember him saying that the Rover SD1 was originally intended to be a Triumph (as a replacement for the 2000/2500), and the car that was supposed to be 'the new Rover' to replace the 2000/2200/3500 P6 was that good it would've seriously threatened the XJ6, and that wouldn't go down well internally, so it was canned...was this the P8? If so, then the car in the picture is probably a prototype/test mule...my father had said the 'new Rover' was a stylish car...flying-banana said:

Well as a former P6B 3500S owner I reckon the SD1 was more than competitive with the 6 cylinder XJ6s, but that P8 looks about as minging as the P6BS!The Laforza aka Rayton-Fissore Magnum. An Italian luxury 4x4 mostly sold in the USA. With the looks of a giant Fiat Uno and those panel gaps, I can't think why it failed.
Also, whilst I knew the Vector W8 existed, I didn't know it had the most bat st crazy interior ever, made to look like a fighter aircraft cockpit.

It didn't just look like it came from a fighter plane, it did come from a fighter plane (did someone say something about cost overruns?). There's an owner and former employee with a great thread on here:https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=17...

Doug DeMuro featured/reviewed a Laforza last month, interestingly quirky thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqsdTOMF4uE&ab...Matt Cup said:

If the CrossFox counts as an SUV/Crossover so does this
I found something I didn't know existed while I was browsing Japanese auctions for an Accord Euro R. To be honest, I wish I hadn't seen it, and I apologise in advance for the absolute horror that you are about to witness.

It used to be an Accord Euro
