off-roader – All about car

Before we even had time to digest the mass of metal that is the Tesla Cybertruck, we found this Supra porridge were now trying to get down.What youre looking at here was an Mk4 Toyota Supra, but we’re not sure it can be called that now that it has a Cummins diesel engine and all this off-roading accoutrement.Unlike the base of many builds of its kind, this donor car wasnt a wreck, but a perfectly fine twin-turbo manual Mk4 Supra (pictured below) which isnt even the cheapest Supra option. Its builder, Ashley Whitsey, simply wanted it to bedifferent. Whitsey posted a gallery of photos and some rough specs to the Gambler 500 Rally Facebook group.

The AI:Trail quattro appears to have compact dimensions similar to the AI:ME, and could also make use of the MEB platform. That architecture has already been used for the Volkswagen ID Buggy off-roader, showcasing the production potential for an electric version of such a
