The engineering really is amazing....


BUT! at 6,000 lbs, I'd want to see it on more than the dirt roads they show it on...


Build it with ONE engine, cut down the weight, maybe then I'll call it bad ass. It's only bad ass by concept, but claiming it's the "Most capable 4x4 EVER built" is bull, period.

Although I'd like to have a turning radius of zero!

I forgot all about howstuffworks.com, I just spent over 2 hrs on it!

The Hurricane is truly an amazing vehicle, and it sucks that they will never put it into production, but hopefully some of that tech will find its way onto a Wrangler in the future!

And why no rollcage?

I personally like the "crab crawl"! And now I see why they had to go carbon fiber all over.
