According to Toyota, 80% of all the Corollas sold in the last 20 years are still on the road. Not really hard to believe that it’s true. And you could probably buy the 5-door E80 Corolla somewhere in the world, if they’d re-invent it with my facelift as proposed here. I kept the basic bodywork and just changed subtle things such as the bumpers and side-skirts. The top has been chopped to get the proportions right and the body has been slammed over a set of old school 15″ wheels. Not convinced? Then think of it as the Prius predecessor that could have looked cool. 😉

For many years I have been wondering, why Renault didn’t build a proper turbo version of either the 15 or 17 coupé. The powertrain of the Renault 5 Turbo would have fit in the coupé bodies. Well, with some minor alteration to the original shell, of course. Because this is very easy to do in Adobe Photoshop, I just went ahead and did it: transplanting the powertrain and adapting the wide fenders. Voilá, c’est le résultat.
