625 HP is top of the pack these days. I would love to get my hands on one of those. Equally impressive is the ZF 10 speed autoshifting transmission. The combination should be impressive.

The weight of the new top of the line motorhomes justs keeps going up. That 625 hp is called on to pull up to 59,580 pounds (GVWR) and up to 79,580 pounds (GCWR) around. The wet weight on their test unit was 53,900 pounds. That compares to 45,200 pounds (GVWR) and 65,200 (GCWR) on my 1992 model with 500 hp.

Newell has always built a great handling coach and I am sure that the new P series is no exception.
