McRae Enduro is the new SUV

Based on a report from evo.co.uk, members of the McRae family as well as former Ford Motorsport alum are teaming up to build a new class of whips called an S-SUV, which stands for, in 13-year old fashion, Super Sport Utility Vehicles!!!! As silly as that name sounds, the idea is awesome - while BMW is calling their joint the BMW X6 an S.A.V. or sport activity vehicle, its essentially the same concept. No longer are these whips going to be thought of as Mommy grocery bag soccer thing a ma-lings. There’s some real man energy up in here, or at least the kind of estrogen that likes speed and power. The Porsche Caynne, the BMW X5’s are no joke, but they’re still designed to fit in at the Metropolitan Opera House. The McRae Enduro is designed to take that off the road well traveled and into the world of Rally racing.

For now, they’re one at a time, but we’ve been assured that production versions are in the works. Meanwhile their pride and joy is the Pirelli McRae Enduro Trofeo, “a one-make series to be run in 2008 that will include the Lisbon-Dakar rally.

This thing is going to blast $150K out of your wallet but hex, what else do you think a rich Arab Sheik is going to push through the desert? The McRae Enduro Trofeo S-SUV will make him feel like he’s pushing a Ferarri down Highway 1.
