TAS GT40 MRS

Saw this on some of Speedhunters coverage of TAS and thought it was actually quite well done.
 


What at first glance looked like a Ford GT40 parked right next to the Vellfire pickup drew crowds in from afar.


This being NATS, things aren’t always what they appear to be, and upon reaching the creation its Toyota MR-S origin became clear. It’s hard to fathom how much work would have gone into creating this illusion…

    I cant imagine it being the best at carrying a load unless they concerted it to rear wheel drive as well.
    But then people did buy the proton utes I guess.

    Considering the amount of people you see packing 500kg into the back of a Camry wagon at Bunnings, I'd say it would be fine :)

    Iced Coffee is treated like liquid gold/nectar of the Gods around tradies. Seems worth it to me!
