- Small cars with big engines nearly always result in huge fun - the Aygo Crazy takes that concept to the extreme
- “Aygo Crazy was really born from the idea of putting words after Aygo that helped convey the correct pronunciation of the new model name," says Toyota's Scott Brownlee
It looks like a downsized 6R4. With its fat arches and a rear wing from a Champcar, the Aygo Crazy really was a racer for the road
"We billed it as a concept car you could drive, the plan always being that we could give this unique car to a journalist to drive rather than leave it pampered in a museum'" says Brownlee.
- “The base car was one of the original launch vehicles and it was sent to our partner, Roger Dowson Engineering based at Silverstone, along with the various MR2 bits needed to turn an economical FWD hatchback into a mid-engined tearaway."
After this, the Crazy was dropped off to top classic Ferrari coach trimmers O’Rourke, which created the interior trim
The original build cost was "well over the £100k mark" and the car features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder 16-valve engine and rear suspension from a MKIII Toyota MR2, a TTE turbo charger kit, bespoke roll cage, custom seats and interior by O’Rourke, and adjustable dampers.
