Actually, that depends. Do you consider the Mercedes R-Class a minivan? Mercedes doesn't call it one, but...

Ferrari powered? Good thing Pennzoil Ultra is approved for use in Ferrari engines, otherwise what oil would you use?
I like it. I've been saying for a long time that minivans don't have to be lame, it's just that in execution they almost always are. This would be a step in the right direction.
SOme minivans came turboed. I would like to see a caravan with a srt-4 engine in it.
Indeed--the old turbo Caravans are on my short list of "not lame" minivans.

The "logic" they use to say it'll be Ferrari powered is... dubious. I don't think I'd count on that.

With parts bins the way they are you would often find, say, ford taurus window motors in a jaguar. So by the same conclusion every taurus is a little bit "cat".
A while back, if you blinked you missed it, buick had a tv ad for the supercharged 3800 regal, "the car for the supercharged family". Think about it and when was the last time you saw a sedan marketed towards a family!

It is a bit useless especially if they can get 300hp out of their new V6.
A high revving paddle shifted V8 would be a different sound track for the typical minivan commute though...
Maybe renault was on to something back in 95?

Minivans are victims of insecurity. For some reason, family men and women are proud of their families everywhere except when it comes to their choice of vehicle; they just don't want to be seen driving a purpose-built people carrier.
As odd as this may sound, freakish vehicles like this could be just the ticket to break that spell and bring some sanity back to our attitudes toward cars. If that's the effect it has, I'm all for it.

Rumors of the Caravan RT have been around forever. The article is most definitely incorrect about the 4.7L and 5.7L V-8 engines having been designed around 60 degree V-6 engines.
Toyota's Sienna now has an SE model, with genuine "sporty" parts rather than just body cladding. It's lowered a bit, with stiffer springs, dampers, etc. Whether Mopar or Honda follows suit, only time will tell I guess.

The problem is that you only have two seats in this "minivan", and you will be probably be deaf arriving at destination.

*cough*turbo Dodge Caravan*cough*
And Toyota offered a Eaton roots blower for the 1998-2003 Sienna in the TRD catalog.
