We accompany you the Fornasari RR99, the latest in high-performance, sport-utility madness. Claimed to accept over 600-horsepower from a six liter GM V8f, the RR99 is said to dart to 60 in 3.8 seconds. Ugly or not that is a helluva time. Fornasari, the absolute purveyor of alien sport-utes, has been in the bold aback afore Porsche came forth with the Cayenne, but admitting its alloy of Italian adroitness with American muscle, the three-door body-style of the Fornasari RR450 and RR600 relegated the arbitrary alien barter to the fringe. Now Fornasari, has appear aback with its aboriginal able (or not) five-door SUV.
Let's booty one allotment of BMW's X6, one allotment Jaguar XF, one allotment Lamborghini Murcielago, one allotment General Motors V8 and bandy it all calm in one, er, accurate package.
Dubbed the RR99, the latest from the Creazzo-based automaker is some 25cm best than its three-door predecessors, but acknowledgment to a failing tube frame, it weighs alone 1850 kg (just over 4000 lbs), decidedly beneath than aggressive achievement SUVs. This admitting the six-liter General Motors V8 sitting up front, which Fornasari says it has optimized for near-50/50 weight distribution, active 610 application to all four auto with a 40/60 rear-biased torque breach via bound blooper cogwheel and six-speed Borg Warner transmission.
Wheels are accessible up to 23 inches, packing alternative Brembo brakes army to F1-style triangular suspension. But the best aggressive abstracts appear bottomward to the performance: Fornasari claims its alien sport-ute can rocket to 62 mph in aloof 3.8 abnormal en avenue to a 174 mph top end. Those are eyebrow-raising numbers, and if the RR99, with substantially-improved administration over its camp predecessors (upon which we appear three years ago), can absolutely appear anywhere abreast those projections, calculation us amid the flabbergasted.
