Toyota presents sports hatch concept
Toyota will present a one-off sports concept based on its Aygo hatch at next month’s London Motor Show, which has been designed from the onset as a pure driver’s car.

As such, the car is devoid of all electronic handling aids and has no power steering or ABS and is more akin to a go-kart with doors and a roof.

Power comes from Toyota’s 1.8L VVT-i engine from the previous Celica and MR2 sports cars but has been mounted to the rear axle for RWD. Read Article

If they toned it down and didn't make it so ricer looking, and sold it under $20k, it would do really well.

RWD platform, lightweight, turbo... sounds like a good combination to me.

Just as the brand suggests, they did go a lil CRAZY. But I like the body, it looks like a cracked out SmartCar.

I'd buy one tomorrow if it came in a MR2 chassis.
