Then they blended it with Pokemon.

Blending bits of the Aygo with other small hatches and the aforementioned cartoon character, this offering from JAC is only slightly derivative by Chinese standards and attractive when compared to American small cars like the Aveo. The A0 will start at about $8,000 and will come with a 1.3-liter four and possibly a larger 1.8-liter engine down the line. [PCAuto via The Tycho]

Based on the Toyota Aygo city car, this one-off has a turbocharged version of Toyota's 1.8-liter four banger squeezed into the backseat (replacing the three-cylinder front-mounted mill). And of course, with 200 horsepower going to the rear wheels of a car that weighs just over a ton, you're not going to want power steering, ESP or ABS getting in the way. We think that would be truly crazy.

Set to premier at the British International Motor Show next month, this likely isn't something you'll be able to buy or that they'll build in any large quantity. Still, anyone wanting an Aygo that can do 0-62 mph in 5.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 127 mph now has a blueprint for how to make that happen. All you need is an MR2 donor car.
