Toyota Yaris Rally Car

The Toyota Yaris is already a cute, practical urban runabout. Now there is a R1A Rally variant for racing.

Toyota’s Motorsport division has its eye on a return to rally racing and they’re bringing a new ride for the occasion. This new model should come in just in time for the ninth round of the World Rally Championship at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland on August 24th to 26th, 2012.

The car will be the Toyota Yaris, the company’s lovable little hatchback that has been rechristened as the "Yaris R1A." In order to comply with FIA R1A regulations, Toyota gave the Yaris limited performance modifications that include a new racing exhaust, a catalytic converter system, shorter final drive gear, a new motorsport suspension with adapted springs and adjustable ride height, and cursory safety enhancements like the bolt-in roll cage, rally seats, safety harnesses, a power cut-off switch, fire extinguishers, and sump guards.

In addition, there is even a hybrid for those folks who prefer overly-complicated solutions to simple problems.

Hot Wheels Meets Cold War Russia

 

I saw a neat commercial for the new Terrain Twister from Hot Wheels and couldn't help but but think of a great lack of creativity on the part of the toy maker, like being famous for being a cover band, rather than making unique and creative music.

The Terrain Twister recalls a Cold War era Russian design, the ZiL 2906 screw drive vehicle.

 

The Terrain Twister seems to have been lifted directly from this Russian design.  I am also left thinking that there were some absolutely epic designs brought to fruition in Communist Russia, but I suppose that's what you get when workers have no choice but to work or spend their life in the Gulags. Yea, collectivism...

Sportsmobile

If you live in a van down by the river, make it a Sportsmobile.

Sagen Media interviews Alan Feld, president of Sportsmobile West, at the 2009 Overland Expo to learn more about these amazingly capable vans. We get a tour of an RB-50 Sportsmobile camper-van and an up-close look at their Atlas II transfer case.

Machismo Flash

I'm not defending machismo flash, but whatthefuckever.

Volvette V70 Madwagon

Volvo station wagons have always been some of the most understated and widely misunderstood cars in the market, which ultimately makes them the ideal candidates for insane sleeper (or Q) cars.

As clearly hinted by its name, the Volvette featured here is a V70 estate that does away with its factory Volvo engine to adopt an American heart and drivetrain from an early 2000s Corvette C5 Z06.
