Crazy!!
Wonder how it feels to drive that thing, looks like it's out of control all the time! :D
Thinking about it, this is the first time I see this car. Pretty cool, specialbuilt from Toyota or what's the purpose from the beginning? Someone with more info?

Thats Rod Millen's Tacoma! I got to see him race this in my back yard for the Pikes Peak hillclimb.

Car is made to go up a mountain, very, very fast, lol...
It sounded amazing when the blow off valves went, like something from a spaceship! :D

No shit! :jlol:
But did it leave Toyotas "factory" like that? Or has it been improved by private people?

Toyota had a pretty serious program in place years back, in combonation with Rod Millen they built some serious machines.
Quad turbos are awsome, all cars should have this setup :applause:
Check out the Celica he raced in the race in prior years, he set the record with it in 93 if iirc.

Glad you enjoyed it! Its a real treat to see this race in person, a bit scary actually! The cars get very close at times, and when they come around the corners you gave a tendency to get up and want to run!
