^^Rather have the bug than something trying hard to look like a bug but failing to.

lol , true , but the samuri is seriously different, even if it is the most ugly car ive seen in a long time.... pulling off a cool car with that as the base may be hard, possibly impossible!! but gotta be worth a go  |

Mid engined, rwd, v8, turbo, high ride height, skinnyish tyres. Bet it's handling is interesting/exciting/amusing/scary/dangerous depending on the weather:)

Mid engined? Thought they were based on Mk2 Eccy?
Have seen one on a full range rover chassis waay back tho.
And it's not trying to be a bug - i'm not sure what it is trying to be, but it's definitely not a bug.

I imagine with a bit of work, if it is V8 and turbo'd it could be quite a fun baby offroader. Something like a mini Wildcat but not quite. Capable of handling dirt/rock roads, rather than serious mud plugging.

The 'Stratos' on the trailer is a Hawk kit and, if I'm not mistaken, the one featured on Top Gear last season! think it has an alfa V6 in it and got broken and generally slated by Top Gear.

There were a lot of comments on the Hawk forums about the 'Stig' and the kit itself. Overall the kit's supposed to be quite good ... |

That slammed Baja works. The 2010's need more Baha in their paltry lives folks. Get building!

That is all kinds of awsome in an odd ugly way.. looking at its  it would be difficult to lower so i'm thinking some HUGE wheels and tyres (think bruces deli/sand rail) with some rake as well perhaps and it could be fan bloomin tastic.. or alternatively remain looking slightly odd! |

'Mad max' styled, sand plugging, bush mobile is the only way to go. Is no point trying to turn it into something that it's always gonna look uneasy with at best. Swap the wheels and tyres out and fit a multi pipe twin side exit exhaust system for maxed out V8 rumble. Sorted!!

Wonder what it would take to make it road legal? |
