I'm asking myself 'why?' But I guess if you are mad enough then hey-ho, away you go!
Anyway, someone beat me to the 6R4, TR8 and Rover Vitesse all driven by a certain Tony Pond, so.....
These took on the 1970 London-Mexico World Cup Rally.
Note the exhaust pipes on the Silver Shadow coming up through the bonnet and over the roof to raise the ground clearance.

That's Bill Bengry's car. The family business is still going, AFAIK. http://www.bengrymotors.co.uk/bill-bengry-rally-dr...Note the exhaust pipes on the Silver Shadow coming up through the bonnet and over the roof to raise the ground clearance.
Whilst my childhood dream was a 6R4 (& I got to drive a Clubmans road going car at the age of 18!), for the whole spectacle/sheer power, it's got to b a Quattro S1 car....I last saw one at Chatsworth House at the rally day a few years ago & the whole turbo/small weapon effect on the over-run is deeply imprinted on my memory I know it's cheesy, "Fire up the Quattro".....

Toyota Supra MKIII Group A
A true love boat of its time, not very successful but managed a 3rd place on its debut in Africa. The turbo version apparently was pushing 400bhp. This was a straight 6 3.0 turbo (N/A also) car. Brilliant.
Determination in the face adversity
