[DeTomaso] Rayton Fissore/Laforza Magnum (SUV Designed by Tjaarda) (NPC)

[LS]

Not sure if any of you remember these or not, but I just bought one.

It was the brainchild of the Fissore family (coachbuilders of the past), 
designed by Tjaarda, built at Pininfarina on the same assembly line as 
the Testarossa and powered by Ford and later GM V8s.

I bought it on an impulse a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it. The interior is pure Detomaso/Maserati/Ferrari of the era...acres of 
leather and wood. Momo steering wheel, Speedline alloys, bult on an 
Iveco military truck chassis.

It was first put into military and police use in Italy and was designed to be dropped out of a helicopter. Later, it became a luxury SUV with the 
above mentioned amenities.

Mine has the 5.0 HO with the factory Kenne Bell supercharger backed by an AOD 4sp auto.
