0-60/62 in under 7 and then 0-100 in under 10.... hmmm, with a standard RS engine and a heavy body. Rather unlikely. If it had 350-400 BHP then the 100 in under 10 would be believable IMHO.

Sorry cross posted with you Dracoro.

I can't see 212bhp getting a van to 100mph in under 10 seconds. Unless it's seriously lightweight. I'd expect nearer 17secs.

There's been a few V8 and cossie vans around and they'll be much quicker than this "worlds fastest van"

They can do what they like to an Espace, (or any other people carrier for that matter), but it is, and will always be, a van with windows!
