    In reply to Renault Twingo V8 Trophy Picks Up Where Clio V6 Left Off

    The R5 Turbo and the Clio V6 had a bit looks on their side. This one doesn't.

    And I guarantee you that it will catch fire within the next minute or so. After all it's french. #lazareth

    Nice updating of the R5 turbo, and a little rubbermaidy, but still very nice. #lazareth

    So my dream of putting an SBC where the back seat of a J-body belongs (like guys did to Corvairs in the 60's) isn't entirely loony?I mean, I expect it's still a little loony, and wouldn't have it any other way, but still. #lazareth

    And when he thuth had thpoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazareth, come forth.

    And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclotheth: and his fathe wath bound about with a napkin. Jethuth thaith unto them, Loothe him, and let him go. Then many of the Jewth which came to Mary, and had theen the thingth which Jethuth did, believed on him. #lazareth

    If you've gone that far in making a custom car (rear/mid engine, trick suspension, tube frame) why the eff would you cover it in a Twingo? In my best attempt at a Clarkson-esque retort, "It's like telling your mates you've are successfully dating Heidi Klum, but she's given you H1N1 and ebola." #lazareth

    This is a good idea, but really? A 180 hp 3.5L Range Rover V8? That hardly seems worth the trouble. I mean, the Clio V6 makes a lot more power than that. Wake me when they've adapted the 5.0L Jaguar V8 from the current Rangies. With a supercharger.

    Or, if you want to keep things in the family, the 3.8TT from the GT-R would be OK, as long as they gave it a real transmission.

    EDIT: Also, don't these guys know that as far as big engines into small cars go, this has already won the Internet?

    This Twingo is a day, 6.5L, and 180 hp short.

    Is it a bad sign when the first thing I thought when I saw the pictures was "Oh, it uses Yokohama Advan Sports for its tires."?

    While this is a truly awesome way to completely waste $283k, I wonder why the BMW V12? Did he just want a V12 quad, or did he wreck his 750iL and felt the need to put the engine in something a little different? I also notice there is no good spot for a license plate in the back, this is an unfortunate oversight.

    @cougfan335: Remember the videos of the shifter cart running around the interstate ramps? That wasn't street legal either and it was totally full of awesome.

    Writing this story without referencing the Dodge Tomahawk displays a certain ignorance of the subject.

    @CJinSD: I can assure you that Wes is well aware of the dodge Tomahawk.

    This thing is likely far more usable than the Tomahawk.

    And that, son, is how they put the "quad" in "quadriplegia".

    I would much rather have the STI-ATV. That thing just plain looks cool, and it is powered by an engine with a reputation of kicking ass in rally racing. It also reminds me somewhat of a Halo Mongoose.
