So I was looking at a post and came upon this:

Everyone was having a cow about how retarded it was to do a pseudo-Benz body kit. Agreed. But there was little mention of the rear-mounted engine. That had me floored. And I couldn't find any discussion about a mid engine Celica anywhere here.

Assuming this Polish company actually did it, and it's not a lame Photoshop job, I am impressed.

What confuses me is that it looks like a straight four in there. If you're going to drop the money to convert the rear compartment to have an engine (drivetrain, suspension...), you might as well go huge.

I personally think there'd be nothing cooler than a AWD mid-engine V10 Celica. I didn't think it could be done (without tons of cash) until I saw this Easer car. Comments?

...except maybe a wheelbarrow full of free tacos, that'd be cooler.

Heheh... you've any idea how much that can cost? Anything is do-able... but isn't really practical. If you want a AWD MR with big displacment... go by a Lambo... ;] That just might be more cost effective than building one.
