Pimped up FORD Transit with 640hp -- silly but worth a smile

Back in the 1990's TWR refitted a Ford Transit van with a Jaguar XJ220 twin turbo 3.0 L V6 engine, originally it produced 540 hp. For some time thereafter this Ford van was a parts truck for the Benetton F1 racing team. The original engine on the Jaguar XJ220 produced a 0-60 mph (98 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds, of course the Transit van due to it's weight would not match that time.

More recently Don Law Racing acquired the van and began restoring and improving it, the van currently produces 640 hp with a top speed of 170 mph (273 km/h)
