It's small. It's red. And it's cool.

This little guy, a Toyota Sports 800, was lurking nearby the Mazda RX-500 in some kind of confluence of cool.

Not much information on it other than it was shown at the 1977 Tokyo Auto Show and packs a gas-turbine engine. Yeah, like that Chrysler from a decade or so earlier.

There's only 2,200 pounds to move around, but the gas turbine's 30 hp means you're timing this sucker to 60 with a sundial.
