Just because it can. You also want something like that, but you have 2 linkerhanden? Then you can this German-Japanese recipe now and ready to buy.

In the ’80s had a Toyota with the Celica and the MR2 two fun rijstraketten in the range. The 21st century was as yet in the character of hybrids which zaaddodender than the pasta on a Durex-rubber stopper, but ceo Akio Toyoda showed its sporting heart speak, and the brand pulled themselves together with the particularly nice and nimble GT86. However, if you want a new Toyota with a mid-engine like the MR2, then you can despite the rumors a long search.

A enthusiast from the British, Dorset with a large hate understeer therefore took a second hand MR2, and applied these to some extent to the specifications of this time. How? By a brutal big 4.2 liter V8 from Audi to mash. It was here and there to fit and measure, but ultimately it was all in place. The result: a MR2 that looks like neighbor Sjonnie him of an empty widebody, but that sneak a lot of extra oempf under the hood.

The engine is from an S8, and given his power of 340 hp, this seems to us a donorblok from a D2. Heck, maybe even the ex of atoblogger?

To this monster of Frankenstein complete, the Toyota brakes on a Porsche 996. Buying you do on eBay, with an asking price of 10.995 GBP. And don’t come with a bid of 2 ridges, witness the ‘NO TIMEWASTERS’-the addition of the advertiser, who says him as a hill climber have bought, but no time to really use them against hillsides to drive away. Hm. (via Bangshift)
