He said so earlier, a Glanza.

 

You don't see much of this car around because he may be driving the last suriving one. sweatdrop.gif

 

This car can be put together with that rare Paseo that is floating around somewhere in the used car yards.

 

If you want to know, this is the last incarnation of the Toyota Starlet Turbo.

 

The first being the EP71 Starlet Turbo S which is powered by a 1.3L SOHC turbocharged 2E-TE engine. The Japanese nickname for it is "Thunderbolt". I sat in one. It is a freaking thunderbolt. Kept in pace with a MB CL500 on the SLE. The MB driver was shocked to see a Starlet keeping pace with his 5.0L V8. I think he considered his speed already very fast. Lucky no cops. Riding shotgun all the while, I was in awe at the Thunderbolt and the CL500.

 

Then came the EP82 Starlet GT Turbo. This guy is powered by the 4E-FTE engine. Internals are very strong and many in Australia have churned out over 200HP with this fella. Gives a whole new meaning to hot hatch.

 

Finally, the EP91 Glanza. Same engine that powers the GT Turbo but with better engine management. As with the trend then, this car was given an Italian name just as the AE86 was named Trueno.

 

Very wicked car. In Australia, these cars humbled many V6s and V8s and can be bought at bargain prices.
