WANNA GT350 ON A BUDGET?

Witness, the Ride Cars GTR350. Based on a second generation Toyota MR2 and inspired by Eleanor from the film(s), Gone in 60 Seconds, the GTR350 is a bizzaro world ‘Stang extraordinaire.

Looking vaguely like a GT 350 drawn from memory by a team of Japanese animators, the transition from MR2 to muscle car certainly does not go unnoticed in the Ride Cars kit. With comically plumped up fenders and a front clip only a mother could love, GTR350 owners will undoubtedly attract a bit of attention while cruising around town, to say nothing of the “forgot the engine” jokes that are sure to ensue. Caveat emptor.

Not the only body built by the British company, Ride Cars seems to have better considered natural evolutions of the Toyota donor for some of its other experiments, to less tickling results.
