    A minivan with the same 5.2 L V12 found in the Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole and a TorqueFlite tranny... putting out 455hp... THAT sounds like fun. I wonder if the engine sits between the front seats?

    I'd love to see a close-up video of the hinge action on those gull-wing doors. It doesn't appear there's much crumple-zone in the nose of this van.

    From wikipedia:

    The Genesis is a five-door minivan and features gull-wing doors in the front and sliding doors at the back. It was powered by the same 455 bhp (339 kW) 5.2 L V12 engine found in the Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole, mated to a 3 speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels.[2] The Genesis was significantly slower than the Countach though, with a weight of around 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) combined with the shorter gear ratios from the Chrysler 3-speed transmission.[3] While the LM002 had recently finished production, freeing up potential assembly space for the Genesis, or a vehicle like it, it was never really intended to go beyond the show car design study.
