The toyobaru is also a glorified skid rig that uses the same sized wheels as a prius specifically so that it goes sideways at 20km/h with no effort.

>You clearly didn't read it all then

I did, but I thought the first paragraph said it all. I thought I was being nice by choosing to not elaborate on how unremarkable the car was, but since you are basically asking me to give a a book report on the wiki article:

The car was built with the intention to go racing in GT1 but it was both too slow and unreliable that they simply dropped out of high-level international competition after only a few races instead of continually embarrassing themselves. When testing the engine for the roadcar, the shaft for the dynamometer broke and since this was apparently the only dyno in all of Europe of the time, TVR instead chose to test the engine in the most half-assed, ghetto-rigged way possible. They also chose to use a steel engine block because they thought it was a good idea to have an block that's just as heavy as iron, but more expensive for no reason. After making all the lofty claims in performance that they were never able to back up, even the TVR owner claimed that the car was too much of a rolling turd to sell to people and returned customer deposits.
