Never mind your £50k R....
« on: 30 April 2020, 20:08 »
... how about a £30k Yaris?

Who fancies booting their GTI over the nearest hedge and replacing it with one of these?

I watched that the other night and given one side of my family has always ran toyotas all completely faultless for decades now  ( they never shut up about them even though they are as dull as dish water to driver) but this did get my attension as it maybe fun back at Toyota.
It will be too hard riding and the interior.
But I give them credit they made it a production road car were others haven't in recent years.
Without cars like this getting made cars like the urQuattro, Impreza turbo, evo, Delta integrale, M3 evo, cosworth, GT4turbo2, 323 turbo, rs200 and many more wouldn't exist.
You never know it maybe somethimg special

I was looking at the Mini GP 2020...

Only glancing really.... but if you wanted something utterly bonkers, it looks like thats where you find it:

https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/mini/jcw-gp/

300bhp front wheel drive, suspension harder than a Times cryptic crossword...
