Automotive

Colleagues from the United States probably do not know it.... but it's a Little Devil who can keep pace with supercars on the mountain serpentines 😉 ...  

Well done to Toyota for bringing some craziness to the streets: they need it nowadays

Destroying supercars I would say This is probably the meanest car of the last 20 years, a real beast. 20 years ago I saw a film made by EVO magazine of a little Clio 2 RS with 172 hp easily (very easily) keeping up with 500 hp monsters in the mountains, t... 

And then came the clio 3.0 v6 phase i and phase ii....!!!!

Neither any Clio mk 2 ... the V6 were very fast but if you really wanted to race in the mountains the 172 or 182 is the one you need. My Clio 3 RS should be better but unfortunately it's relatively high weight doesn't make it faster than the 172 or 182 ..... 

.. lying around somewhere ... Will do controle technique first and then finally mount it ... or maybe I will put it in my 205

This car handles so well, I sometimes forget that there are still laws of physics at work. I am careful 👍

222 hp for 1230 kilos , also equipped with an LSD. The P car is not mine, but it is a much more relaxing ride. Two weeks ago I stored it in the barn at a place where it's an effort to take it out ... that way the risk of losing my license goes down ...  

With the split window at the back.

In the US, we do get the Corolla version with 1.6 litre 3-cylinder producing 300 hp. ...  

The official number of horsepower is underestimated, usually around 280 on the dyno. You can easily increase it with a new soft to 320. However, there are so many parts and modification options on the market, that crazy people make 740 (sic!) out of this ... 

Of course, I know about GR Corolla, unfortunately, it is 200kg heavier 😔

GR Corolla - 1493kg (Morizo - without rear seats 1445kg) GR Yaris - 1280kg Yaris is small but has a huge wheelbase (bigger than 911)

About 10 years ago I had lots of fun in a friend's Subaru Impreza P1 .... 300 hp for 1280 kilos and 4WD. That car also had no limits (almost). ...  

This was a very special car. Prodrive UK ordered 1000 empty shells in Japan, made their own aero around it. They mounted a 2.1 boxer with 280 hp but I think they all had a bit more than that. There was also some special LSD and most were later on upgraded... 

It became 3rd in EVO's car of the year behind the 911 Turbo and a Lambo back in 2001(EVO magazine is/was thé magazine). Anyway they called it the quickest car to get you from point A to B on typical UK roads. I drove it a lot, I remember the speedo went t... 

You shouldn’t park under the truck 🤭 Well... It was very special and beautiful car 👍

.. in perfect condition for 10K back in 2011 .. these days they go for 40+K

Cringe .....

... in the Clio ... luckily ... And Mr B was lucky the P1 was right hand drive as the roof got smashed down on the other side .... . Mr B managed to drive home but an hour later the police was shouting in a megaphone (it was 2 or 3 am) in front of his hou... 

Very much in the tradition of brutally efficient 4wd cars and it seems to be able to find grip everywhere. Personally I prefer a slower, sharper fwd hatchback or rwd coupe or convertible which I find more fun but it's all a matter of taste. The brainchild... 

I drove this when it came out! I had a red one (perfect color for a devil!!) Manual 6 speed, all wheel and turbo! What else do you want !?!? if i remember correctly there is also a sort of "track" version of this little devil!? I really considered this ca... 

One on the front and one on the rear, it makes for a different car than the 'standard' one. I also think the wheels are lighter.

I would take the passenger and rear seats out though heheheheh

... the standard seat are positioned pretty high .. and since I'm 1m98 (6ft 6) ......

Open 😉

Yes, mine is a "track" or "circuit pack" as it is called in Europe. It has 2xLSD, stiffened suspension, better brakes, BBS forged wheels

There are so many beautiful cars here, but there's nothing to be jealous of my GRY 😉

Getting some nice mountain air I see!
