MY GOD THAT'S UGLY!

^What....was that!?

High End Performance G37?

 

[Hei]

Lol, except it isn't a G37. It is a Toyota though.

Infiniti/Nissan, Toyota... same thing.
For anyone calling me out on this... I WAS JOKING!

 

[Hei]

The cars aren't even remotely close though. It is a Toyota Verrosa.

Looks like a Maybach...

 

[Hei]

More like a Daewoo . That grille.

It looks more like a Mark II Blit to me.

 

[Hei]

Because that is what it replaces >.>

[Mark II Blit]

Wat.

The Verossa was Toyota's reaction to faithful Vista Store customers having nowhere to go after the discontinuation of the Chaser and Cresta nameplates. The Mark II and Blit were sold through a completely different dealer network for longer than the Verossa and wouldn't have been replaced by a sister model.

Anyway, as Beeblebrox notices, the front end is from a Blit, although it has been very unsuccessfully grafted onto a Verossa chassis.

Orange with purple, just as disgusting of a combo as orange and black grapes....

Naww it's awesome..Love it!

I think the bodykit and wheels themselves looks pretty good, even the spoiler is not too ricy.

Now only if the brown/orange was changed to black, then it'd actually look awesome

Any color that isn't turd brown and that car actually is pretty sweet

It's just a regular Focus RS...

It would have made sense to add a few Cadbury Dairy Milk decals here and there. A wasted opportunity.

I don't mind the kit personally. But brown, of all colours... quite a sight. Even the rear plate was tinted brown.

Shame you couldn't get a closer photo.


I'd venture to say, given how BMWs respond well to downforce, that it's normally actually a track car. If that's the case, it's perfectly acceptable.

Highly doubt it, it was on stock wheels with stock ride height.. I havent seen it at the local autocross, drift or opentrack events yet (I am a moderator on a State wide/regional car forum so I go to tons of events). I wish I could have too messing with the phone and shifting in traffic is no fun lol

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I like it, although I wouldn't choose purple as the color for the rims and spoiler. I would've went with black.

It's not just a regular Focus RS, it's a Focus RS 500. They had more power and only came matte black (actually painted gloss black then vinyl wrapped matte black.)

It really is a normal RS though with a 500 badge. I don't think anyone would really dare repaint a real RS500.

Just because someone has money doesn't mean they have brains. It can happen to any car, regardless of what it is.

I'd rather have a deep brown than matte anything.

On some cars, matte looks like primer. Who would want a car that looks like its been painted ONLY with primer?

Alright, pardon my ignorance for making an assumption. I'm still not sure it's a RS500.

Just because someone has money doesn't meant they can easily get their hands on a limited production car.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm just saying, anyone could easily take a Focus RS and put a 500 badge on it. I had a friend that saw a Nissan Altima with a GT-R badge once, I still remember the picture he took.

 

[Wiegert]

The RS' model history has it down as being blue originally, and not a 500. Although the added Revo parts would give it slightly more power than an RS500.

And I'm just saying anyone can bastardize any car, regardless of how hard to obtain or expensive they are.

Regardless, I don't like whats been done to it, RS500 or not.

The owners who specified the matte colours on the M3 Competition Pack.
