The SUV is expected to breach 0-96kmph time of just 3.5 seconds, with extensive carbon fibre modifications helping to potentially make it the world's fastest SUV. To put it into perspective, the current fastest SUV in the world, Lamborghini Urus takes 3.6 seconds to reach 96 kmph and its top whack is 305 kmph.

The imminent release of our new monster killer LFP promises to see this healthy situation continue for the remainder of this year, and beyond," said Lawrence Whittaker, CEO of the Lister Motor Company.
