The disturbingly careful reader will perhaps recall my cunning plan pipe dream to stuff an LS9 into the back seat of a Toyota Prius. Such a reader might have recalled the utterly batshit-insane homologation specials of Group B, which were high-level motorsports road-shredders stuffed into the least likely passenger-car chassis you could possibly imagine. (Over at Car Lust, they imagine a Group B Chevrolet Citation with distressingly arousing results.)
I am delighted to inform you that it’s been done.
Well, not an LS9, but a V6 from a Taurus SHO. And not a Prius, but a Geo Metro. But holy fucking shit, man:
- One very Swift lemon (Build Threads)
Go. Read.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!
We’re clearly destined to be friends.
I have been thinking it’d be a lot of fun to drop a big nasty supercharged V8 under the bonnet of a Prius, tub it in the back for some big fat tires, and rebadge it as “Priapus”.
The taste of hippie tears would be so sweet.
“Priapus”? WINNER.
I’m thinking bignormous Group B-style box flares and a Lancia Delta S4-style air-brake “spoiler” just forward of the rear deck, too.
