Post mid-engined stuff :)

Usually I ask for Japanese stuff, let’s shake it up.

Don’t give me that front-mid trickery!

Behold! The Matra Murena! The three seater French mid engined car of your dreams!

Happy birthday! Here’s a bonus Djet, its precursor and the world’s first production mid engined road car.

Haha! Earlier in lockdown I went nuts and wrote all these articles about Matra. I know all about these cars, they’re cool and I saw a Djet once!

One of those Masers, very cool. Nice strakes.

Oh I so love the LFA but dammit. FRONT MID!

Dang it, you were the one who introduced me to Matra in the first place. I remember all those posts and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Have something extremely unlikely around here: two Previa taxis! I took these photos myself.

We had the first one (Need For Speed: Special Edition), skipped 2 and dove headlong into Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (NFS 3), so I can say it was from NFS 3 with 100% certainty! :)

Fun fact, the MANUAL transmission (floor shift) Midgets were only 1 seat, but, if memory serves, the Auto trans (column shift) Midgets were TWO seaters! :P

Manual:

Automatic:

Note the column shift and the seatbelt on the auto that doesn’t exist on the manual! :)

Ah apparently it was only in the PC version, I only had the PS one. Also PC had the Commodore and Falcon that we didn’t get until the next game, cool.

And Skay’s mid engined cake is fine? Seems like none of these would taste all that great with the crunchy oily bits in the middle.

The two 3rd gen 4Runner taxis and the Nissan Frontier taxi are front engined sadly. Would be a lot more interesting if they fit that category.

So have an absolutely delusional Fiero Mr. 2 owner instead.

Yeah, he really went there with that last picture.

No. The M12 was 2000-2008. Their current mo del is the M500 and the M600 (though they might have stopped this one) .

M500

M600

Lol that guy has no idea. Craigs is a wild ride. LOL the last pic, guarantee if you got them side-by-side the MR2 would look chunky and fat.

I pay so little attention I didn’t even realize you’re a C4 owner. They’re uncommon here, but they’re pretty much all targa right?

If you’re lucky you’ve got a garage and the roof never goes on.

It’s the headlights from the first 504 Coupé :)

And most of those cars exist in a road- homologated version.

Definitely some weird car trivia! I should ask it to Jason Torchinsky on Twitter and see if he knows the answer :P

Targa or full convertible, but then so are most of the Vettes from the C4 to the C8 except the C5 and C6 Z06/ ZR1.
