Fantastic lol, how cool something to rival the maloo's

Would be good turning up with a go kart in the back or just crusing with a bail or hay ha

Yes, it's real, but it's a one-off and won't go into production.

If only BMW would put that into production. They would sell like hot cakes over here in OZ (the natural habitat of the V8 ute).

Nah, it would fail miserably because the Ford/Holden tribal bogans won't touch a ute that isn't Australian.

As well as being horrendously overpriced. It would probably cost maybe 2 or 3 times as much as the home bred V8 utes.
