I really hope Saleen makes an impact now since Steve Saleen Bought back his OWN damned company. Im thinking Saleen S8 TwinTurbo, Predessor to the S7, Would destroy everything.

It's a Suped up Ford Explorer. So this is actually the first performance SUV, not the BMW X5 4.4i.

I would have guessed the weight far over two tons. 1990 kg are in fact pretty light for such a car.

Any numbers about how much heavier the AWD is?
