The Yaris Club Concept is a top chopped tribute to the Toyota 7 race car that challenged the Group 7 category of the Can-Am racing series of the 1960s. Stripped down with no extras, this Yaris has been transformed into a single seater with no interior. It features a lowered windshield and fabricated tonneau cover while performance has been boosted via a supercharger, exhaust headers and a free-flowing exhaust. The suspension was lowered by two inches with front and rear coil-over shocks and larger brakes added.

FIVE AXIS DESIGN YARIS CLUB
The Yaris Club project pays tribute to Toyota's racing heritage harkening back to the late ‘60s when Toyota challenged for the Group 7 category of Can-Am racing with the Toyota 7.
The Yaris Club is a stripped-down, no-nonsense car with no extras - only what is needed to perform. The roof has been removed and the windshield lowered. With the interior removed, a tonneau was fabricated, turning the Yaris into a single seater with a fairing that doubles as a driver headrest.
A supercharger, exhaust headers and a free-flowing exhaust were added for performance to back up the good looks. The suspension was lowered by two inches with front and rear coil-over shocks and larger brakes added.
The Yaris Club was developed by Five Axis in Huntington Beach, Calif.

Hmm maybe with 2 seats, and a bigger windshield, this could be a very cute roadster.

Speedracer! Your new Mach5 has arrived!
But seriously though...166hp in a lightweight car and tweeked suspension is sufficient for having fun.
It's a different feeling than driving a high powered car that is still heavy with alot of safety feautures and options like even most modern sportscars. I drove my friend's old FIAT spider that was stripped down and modified with new cams and it was a blast.
Hell even my Mk.1 GTI that was stripped down with new suspension and lightweight wheels was alot of fun to toss around.
Horsepower isn't everything...
