Man, whoever gets this is one lucky SOB.

If I had a place to put this beast, I'd keep it roughly as aero as it is while Mad Maxing the **** out of it with 2" thick or more steel plating, bulletproof windows, maybe an extra 2-3" ground clearance, and then shove a tuned mechanical-injection Cummins inline-6 turbodiesel into it set up to make around 600 HP and 1,000 lb-ft of torque, with a big fat set of twin 50 gallon tanks in the back. I bet even at 7,500-8,000 lbs, it would probably get like upper teen MPGs in the city and maybe 35-40 MPGs on the highway like that. And like any wagon should, it would be good at hauling. Hauling ass that is!
