First details: £100,000 rear-engined Toyota Aygo
13 June 2008 This is the Toyota Aygo Crazy – a 200bhp road-legal concept based on the popular city car. While the standard Aygo has a three-cylinder 1-litre, 67bhp engine, the Toyota Aygo Crazy has a rear-mounted 1.8-litre turbocharged unit from the final generation Toyota MR2 producing 200bhp and 177lb/ft of pulling power. Weighing just 1,050kg means the Toyota Aygo Crazy produces 193bhp per tonne – more than a Porsche Cayman. The result is a 0-62mph (100kph) time of 5.75 seconds for the Toyota Aygo Crazy and a top speed of 127mph.

Toyota has also fitted the Aygo Crazy with the Toyota MR2’s suspension, a custom-built bodykit with flared wheel arches to house the 17-inch alloy wheels and beefy Goodyear tyres. Ten craziest concepts of all time
With the engine rear mounted, there is no room inside the Toyota Aygo Crazy for rear seats – but there is a full roll cage. The £100,000 Toyota Aygo Crazy is a one-off road-legal concept described by the Japanese car maker as a ‘shopping supercar’ and will be on show at next month’s British Motor Show in East London. We’ll be reporting live from the Excel-based show so don’t forget to come back for all the big news and events. |
The Toyota Aygo features is stripped of driver aids such as traction control, power steering and anti-lock brakes – creating a giant go-kart which relies on the driver’s skill rather than the car’s computers to get out of any precarious situations. Page 1
