The "whistling pig"
 It was the last rear wheel drive rally car to win consistantly in the WRC. If it weren't for this car's sucesses in Africa in the WRC, Toyota would have never given the go ahead for the GT-Four

But i must say, one of toyota's best race cars, and one of the craziest motors toyota has built. |
