Lamborghini LM02: 4.5 sec

Most of the above are V8's, but the Territory has a turbo on its i6--and is tuned for that matter. Even so, the Infiniti EX35 has a V6 and beats it without forced induction. Even the old Forester is faster with the 2.5L turbo flat 4 cylinder in its light chassis. And let's not forget the hometown hero: the GMC Typhoon, which used its turbo 6 to get to 60mph in under 5 seconds almost 2 decades ago. Maybe this is supposed to be about top speed, but even then, the only way that would happen is if somehow all of the above vehicles used German-style 150mph limiters, which seems rather unlikely.
i thought that wasn't quick .. maybe the 0-100 figure isn't correct, coz it really sounds like it's got more potential than the 6-sec zone ?
