Screw convention! Why do you have to build a rally car out of something sporty? Or powerful? Or off-road-worthy? According to 0-60 magazine at least, you don’t have to. You can build a rally car out of just about anything. Take this Scion xD for instance. It’s probably among the last cars you’d picture taking off-road, but seeing what it looks like after 0-60 and Sparco got their mitts on it, you might want to reconsider. They added a ton of safety gear, enough lights to rival the nearby Luxor’s candlepower, and basically just butched it up enough to make it look less like… well, an econobox. It should be a blast to drive. Maybe we’ll try to find ourselves an Irish copilot and take it out for a spin.

i have a scion xd, though not powerful it is one hell of a car on the dirt roads. the small design makes it ideal for getting that baby sideways and sliding.
