Putting that much power into a poorly balanced vehicle with deficient handling sounds like a really bad idea.

You obviously didn't watch the video......the driver is drifting the thing around the corners.....it handled pretty damn good considering its a brick!

I think its a sweet ride!

Hey .. if Porsche can make the Cayenne quick then why not this thing???

Seriously though, there is a similar Eurovan regularly at the Nürburgring and it is damned quick. It has a 993 engine and all of the brake bits and probably much more. I doubt there is much twist in this modern frame so why can’t it be quick? Most of the weight is actually pretty low. Aerodynamics aren’t as good so probably not good for 316 km/h but so what? I’m sure it would still be a fun transport for a picnic.

For me, the coolest part of this van is the race seating front and back. Now that is four in style!

I'm sure the Eurovan you drove and the one in the video have completely different suspension set-ups. It looked like it was handling fine.....

I believe if i caught it right that its engine is a RUF tuned engine.

Our Eurovan has the adjustable H&R Cup coil over set.
It handles pretty good for a van .
