Fornasari is an Italian car company that started in 1999 and have created such cars as the RR450 and the RR600, now this is their new model the RR99 SUV. This five door car offers the aggressive muscular look of an off road SUV, has the comfort and luxury of a road car and has the performance of a supercar.

The RR99 is powered by a 6 litre V8 engine from General Motors. Its top speed is limited to 174mph (280km/h), it can hit 60mph (100km/h) in 3.8 seconds and all this power drives the four 23inch wheels with a six speed Borg Warner transmission.

The car’s skeleton consists of a special steel piping chassis in molybdenum-chrome. More than 450 pipelines are used to obtain stiffness and torsion capability with a weight of less than 150 kg.

The suspension triangles are equal on the four sides and they are mechanical jewels, with welding joints like those in Formula 1. The suspensions travel of 240 mm has been studied so as not to affect or change in any extent the geometrical configuration, as it had been set.

The Fornasari RR99 is a real maxi SUV with its desert wheel-tracks, an American wheel-base, a remarkable height from the ground, a top-class maximum travel of suspensions, ideal in/out angles, a feather-weight, power distribution on both axes as for GT and load distribution near to 50/50.

The vehicle allows for little roll and pitch which gives for smoother driving, while both the power and engine elasticity makes you forget your inside a 5 seater car.

Brakes come from GM, but a possibility is given to choose the Brembo brakes. Alloy rims are, in alternative, of 18″ – 20″ or even 23″ size AND they host tyres from the 285/55/18″ up to the 305/35/23″ ones.
