"There are two 5.7-liter HEMI engines in the vehicle: one in the front and one in the back. Both engines deliver 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque – a total of 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque."
"On the tarmac, it has the power and traction to move from 0-60 in less than five seconds."
"The Jeep Hurricane is the only vehicle on the auto-show circuit that provides its own turnable feature. The vehicle features a turn radius of absolutely zero, thanks to skid steer capability and toe steer: the ability to turn both front and rear tires inward. In addition, the vehicle features two modes of automated four-wheel steering.
The first is traditional with the rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front to reduce the turning circle. The second mode is an innovation targeted to off-road drivers: the vehicle can turn all four wheels in the same direction for nimble crab steering. This allows the vehicle to move sideways without changing the direction the vehicle is pointing."
Wow, that makes parallel parking a SNAP!
okay, if they EVER make this thing, I know some people who would go NUTS for it.

think they were aiming at the HUMMER?
Hell, this thing OWNS the Hummer. Plus.. it's a hemi
Interesting concept, though, but I also don't think it will ever make production.
