![]() Simon Clarke is the herald of mayhem here, and his startling Toyota represents the logical conclusion of a number of years of high-octane monkeyshines: “I first got into modifying cars after university, buying a banged-up Gen-7 Celica GT and spending four years going wild on its appearance, and Rotrex supercharging it to 330hp,” he recalls. Anyone who doubts the potential of the Mk3 Mister-Two needs to apply some hot sauce to their bitter words and prepare to gobble them up whole… because what’s just rumbled into our midst is something very serious. This is a significant number, as there are a few cars that boast precisely this figure: the Ferrari 360 Modena, Aston Martin DB9 GT, Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, Audi R8 V10 – it’s a scintillating group, and scything through them like some malevolent Japanese assassin is a widebody tuned Toyota MR2, upsetting every conceivable applecart and generally making a nuisance of itself. But that’s not to say it doesn’t have a sense of theatre…Ģ86hp-per-tonne. Simon Clarke’s tuned Toyota MR2 is a machine of pure function and purpose: a V6-swapped widebody track monster with an obsessive approach to functionality.
