Rear engine Suzuki Cervo. It has kei engine options or a 1000cc. I want one of these with a Swift GTI engine and that race car's body style.

it's gotta be the wheels and flairs.

Ya they make that race car but i've seen a few of these on google that have aftermarket wheels that look decent, like a rear drive mini marcos or something.
Ahh yes, I know about these. Apparently, they're quite a lot of fun.
The top pic looks like someone Photoshopped the ends and part of the middle away from a 70s Celica then stuck an early 80s Corolla nose on the front-stump.
How old are they? Under the 25 yr. ban?
the one pictured was sold from 1977-1982 according to wikipedia. Other designs followed.
They were called SC100 in the UK, not uncommon in the 80's. Very popular in heavily modified racing classes similar to GT road racers or Mod autocrosserers.
That's cool as, and yes gti drive train conversion ftw.
Very cool. Never heard of it. So the driver sits in the middle of the race version......and really low?
That is AWESOME!
One of the editors of C&SC ran one for a long time. I always thought they'd be fun.
In reply to Oapfu :
I love the variety of suspension and drivetrain design approaches in that pic.
(note the lack of leaf springs)
In reply to aircooled :
The Fiat certainly has a transverse leaf spring in the rear. I think the Skoda might in the front. You must read the comments about that Skoda if you haven't, there enlightening.

The 2CV suspension is so weird it makes hydropneumatic springs look positively normal.
(Leaf spring trivia: non-427 Cobras had transverse leaves front and rear. And they did double duty as upper control arms.)

How dare they list those cars with back seats
The 2CV has kinda usable back seats. The Mini has usable back seats if you're under 5'6". The Suzuki has good back seats for Lt Dan.
There are other ways to use the Suzuki's back seat area
I expect there are entire threads on motorcycle engine swapped cars, but I haven't looked yet.
I don't know what canoe brought this zombie up, but send them thanks.
