    6 days ago | chasingcars.com.au | Iain Curry |Tom Baker

    Do you know what the world needs? A proper performance EV challenger to take on Hyundai’s multi-award-winning Ioniq 5N weapon. Where might it come from? Signs point to Wolfsburg, Germany, where Volkswagen’s ‘R’ team make no secret of its ongoing electric performance car development.

    The striking bright decals hit you first. Those famous BMW Motorsport colours unashamedly sweep along this little 2002 Turbo’s flanks, as do the ’70s heaven of reverse script with fluoro red, blue and violet bands coating a glass-fibre front spoiler. Over a Chamonix white body, this is excess and fun from the dawning of turbocharged road cars. Half a century ago, these BMW 2002 Turbos were the right car at the wrong time.

On our recent Shanghai visit, GWM teased this cheeky powder blue number with “Haval New SUV” plates.

  • ‘Pocket rocket’ springs a surprise

    Take the fizzing turbo engine from Toyota’s GR Yaris, wrap it in a luxury skin, then lower, widen and stiffen. Cook it up and it’s the most “Banzai!” Lexus we’ve seen in years – the LBX Morizo RR. This new model shakes off the normal LBX’s sensible shackles to become a Gazoo Racing LBX city SUV in all but name. Besides, the Morizo “Rookie Racer” badge is cooler, as it’s the alias of Toyota Corp’s chairman – and utter rev head – Akio Toyoda.
