Problem is it doesn't look very good.

Trying to figure out how they can fit such a large engine into something that looks very small, and with such a low bonnet line. The engine must be mounted very low.

Probably doesn't handle or ride all that well either, those diesels are pretty heavy. Close to 400kg. A 6.2L V8 LT1 engine weighs just over 200kg. I'd still love to have a drive of it though!

Yeah, 6.6 Duramax turbo.

1050 ft/lbs would cost more in tyres than diesel if you weren't careful

Well your Carroll Shelby took another little known English car and turned it into a monster. I wonder what could he do with this one

Yeah but Carroll Shelby couldn't pull up at his local Fish 'n' Chippy and order 2 Snapper & Chips for him and the missus...and 40L of used cooking oil for the car....
