What abnormal car would you dream of targa/rallying?

By abnormal, I mean, not in the usual SUV (for Baja), coupe, hatchback or sedan forms. I'd allow exotics if you don't normally see them in a rally guise (i.e. Top Gear Bentley Conti GT).

Personally, I'd like to rally a Toyota Previa 4WD (rally prepped of course! unless I want to do barrel rolls). FMR Layout. Four wheels on the ground. 5-speed manual. 8 Seats. The title of the ultimate minivan hoon machine.

Oh and it's pretty damn cheap










Here's some other less usual ones

Subaru WRX (obligatory)

Targa Brick

Mitsubishi Delica Rally Van

The answer to everything with it's roof off

the way kinja formats stuff is making me cry :(

I think it'd be fun to Targa with my Passat Wagon. Why not, right?

Unfortunately said Lambo ended up in a ditch:

Would you cry if it crashes?

Or burns? (luckily yours is German, not Italian)

Ouch, I guess the 4WD didn't help out enough :(

Still better than having the whole thing burnt to the ground

Some sort of classic muscle car. Because why not? I remember a muscle rally car on the front page a few months back that was pretty awesome but I can't find it. I think it was a Camaro?

Wonder how well it actually did before its accident. Certainly an unorthodox car for a a gravel rally...

For some reason, Gallardos are the only exotics you see in targas and (rarely) rallys. That's only if you want the call the 911 GT3 a 'sports car'.

They're getting relatively cheap now (for a mid-engined Italian supercar :P)... checking AutoTrader and the earlier models are going for around £60,000 over here.

Because time, oxidation, and subtle custom.

This car is just pure evil. A ratty Camaro taking every corner with a healthy dollop of drift.

I want one now

I like how he used the snow banks to limit his drifts. I think the main reason why he's faster than the M3 is that the M3 driver isn't willing to slam his car into the piled snow.

Actually, a Mk2 Jetta. It's been done, but usually the Golf.

And it's another shortened one.

Anyone care to explain why rallycar short?

For some reason, I just want to turbocharge the shit out of one of these, throw a widebody kit on it, some fog lights, and a hatch spoiler, and go tear shit up.

I have gone off-roading in a Chevy Celebrity, back when I was in high school. I got it stuck in some sand and had to dig it out. It wasn't exactly the best off-roader. However, the Pontiac version did come with AWD as an option, so maybe next time I'd choose that.

Probably, yes, but no more so than if it were to happen while on any other drive.

Mercedes Gull Wing... with Sophia Loren!

Once reality returns, I would love to take a Chrysler 300 and make it go racecar. First thought would 80-90's Audi 5000 style with the huge box fender flares and such, but it wouldn't take much to go from there to rally, right?

Jaguar XJS. Probably the 4.0l AJ6 tuned to ~300bhp and ~350lb-ft, but a 5.3l V12 is just such a batshit idea i might prefer that :)

Yes,

They remain Subaru Brats until they're Subaru Parts.
