The power is appealing, but 17" wheels? They make it look terrible. :x

The ute is pretty cool,
I'd be using a stainless fuel cell under the bonnet and i'd also build a ute lid to cover the engine bay, just cut a hole for the air cleaner. :D

Did you see the front disk rotors!?! :/

I like the whole concept of the Z cars Minis. Imagine doing the same thing to a Mighty.
Nice little 1000c Yamaha R1 engine sitting IN the tray driving the rear wheels. I have a sneaking suspicion it'd even wheelie! Oh yeah.....

It'd be a wicked project and would make a very serious hill climber/tarmac rallier. Well, if you started with a tubular frame that is. ;)

Hope they like the idea of an electronic reverse.

Either that or they're blind. ;)
