Someone's Made A Mid-Engined, Subaru Flat-Six-Powered Honda Insight
The more you hear about this Honda Insight, the madder it sounds. This once Prius-rivalling hybrid eco car was ‘rescued’ by Georgia Tech university after a crash and turned into Frankenstein’s autocross car, and it’s awash with crazy details.
The fact that it’s powered by a mid-mounted Subaru SVX flat-six is mad enough, before you learn it also has F1-style inboard pushrod suspension and a Mazda Miata steering rack. Oh, and a Ford Crown Victoria front end. Obviously.
It’s a ludicrous mish-mash of components you’d never expect to see installed on one car, and we love it. Sounds pretty good too, don’t you think?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

When you want to save the planet but, you dont want to save the planet
That’s mad in the best way
Technically it’s still a hybrid. A hybrid of two cars.

As we can see, a lot of things have been fitted to this Honda…
This. I like this
Whats up with the wobbly steering wheel?
Yes it will fit in your Honda
😱😱😱😱😱
If only I was smarter and of state tuition for Georgia Tech wasn’t 40k a year.
