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.

Right, which is why I balked at someone saying the cars went for 25 G's (which a significant portion would have to go to the 5 tons of fiberglass). If mounting a rear engine is so not-worthwhile, why would Easer do it?

To mod the cargo area to be able to handle an engine, reroute all the fuel and exhaust systems, and create a completely new drivetrain... I just can't imagine it being cost effective. So how/why did Easer do it?

maybe its not functional. kind of like the replica v10's in the back of fiero/lambo replicars
