"Toyota Aygo Crazy" Its CRAZY!

[Small Guy]

Aygo Crazy is the perfect antidote to all those wild concept cars that look great on the show stand but never turn a wheel. It is a unique machine that has been developed from the start to deliver no-holds-barred maximum driving pleasure, an unforgettable, fun experience.

Making its public debut at the British International Motor Show in London, Aygo Crazy is a one-off model, a 'shopping supercar' that takes Aygo's essential qualities to the limit. Owing more to the spirit of Group B rallying rather than D1 drifting, this is a car that is all about the joy of driving: with no electronic handling aids, no power steering and no ABS, it is like a kart with doors and a roof.

Recognisably an Aygo, it clearly packs more muscle with its custom-made body, 17-inch alloys and beefy Goodyear 225/45 rubber. There is even a direct link to Toyota's sporting heritage as Aygo Crazy's carbon fibre rear wing is a part taken directly from the 200mph race cars in the American Champ Car series.

Aygo Crazy is fettled with the Toyota 1.8 VVT-i unit that powered the final generation Celica and MR2 Roadster, rear-mounted and driving the rear wheels through the Roadster's five-speed manual gearbox. The addition of a Toyota Motorsport turbo conversion kit boosts power output to 200DIN hp and torque to 240Nm.

Compare the performance to the 68 DIN bhp and 93Nm mustered by the standard road-going Aygo and you gain some idea of just what a different kind of machine this is.

To cope with the greater engine performance, a bespoke cooling system has been designed, with a huge, front-mounted aluminium radiator – ideal for those endless, tyre smoking, crowd pleasing donuts.

Weighing in at just 1,050kg, Aygo Crazy is capable of 127mph (est), but speed is not its defining quality: this is a machine that exists to be responsive and alive to the driver's commands, to put smiles on the faces of those inside and outside the car.

The suspension is from the MR2 Roadster, with MacPherson struts front and rear. Adjustable Tein dampers sharpen dynamic performance and the front and rear track are one inch wider than on a standard Aygo.

The cabin, finished by specialist coachtrimmers O'Rourke, features purpose-built sports seats with four-point safety harnesses and a full roll cage.

With its bold Aygo Crazy decals and T2 4YGO (turbocharged, two-seat Aygo) number plate, Aygo Crazy will be hitting the show circuit – and the open road – this summer, proving that while this Aygo may be crazy, it's a memorable madness.

DO WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a serious chick magnet.

Saw this on the car news a few weeks ago. Great concept, a worthy successor to some past French power hatches. I just wonder why the top speed is so low (205 km/h = 128 mph) and how the hell they managed to squeeze 1050 kg (2315 lbs) into such a small car.

[fbc]

That's my kind of crazy. Mid-engined hatches FTW.

But Toyota haven't entirely let go of their sensible side - what's with quoting the dimensions to the thousandth of a mm?

[prizrak]

Where the fuck is the gear shift?

[DTMracer]

Needs more engine.

Paint job looks like it's been vandalized.

...oh hey, is that the intention? I was hoping this would be a production version, which would be great! Build it, Toyota!

[awdrifter]

This car probably have no chance of ever seeing production. But still, I hope Toyota would be crazy enough to put it into production. They can easily replace the engine with the Scion's 2.4L, tone down the bodykit a bit, then they would have a very cool hot hatch.

[Momentum57]

no

GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEEE
I MUST HAVE IT

[Lilleput]

To bay you wont be able to fit in it with that roll cage bar right where your leg should be.

Probably because it only has 200HP.

[Cobol74]

Reminds me a little bit of the UK version of the Honda CRX pre-1991.

I just now got the pun in its name: "Aygo crazy"="I go crazy"

We really need a facepalm emoticon for moments like this.

Someone say facepalm?

[WellsieTRD]

Yes please Mr Tojo. You've done boring and sensable to death, now lets have some fun stuff
