Default Nissan Micra 350SR

HOLY FUCKBALLS.

I've never been a big fan of the Micra's styling (then again I'm not a fan of many Kei cars to begin with) but HOT DAMN I BET THAT THING TEARS **** UP. I'm guessing Ghosn and company had a hand in this as their Renault Clio V6 follows the same formula. Take a FWD hatch/small car, remove the rear seats and fill the space with a motor that is larger, packs more cylinders, and is just plain more powerful than any other engine that motivates any of the "lesser" variants (although the FWD Clio 182 is quite a pocket rocket itself), and finally convert the sucker to RWD and BAM, instant mid-engined hot hatch.

It's ugly as hell, but that would be one fun ride. To bad we won't ever get anything like that over here.
