Picture of the Week: Mazda T2000 kaido racer
Not everything seems to be what it is and this Mazda T2000 kaido racer is one of them:
I know: it is a photoshop, but I must say it is a very well done one! All the batlike wings and intakes really suits the 50s styling of the T2000.
For those unfamiliar with the Mazda T1500/2000: in the early 30s Mazda started producing the Mazdago, a tricycle based upon a motorcycle. After the second world war it got grew up to the size of a large truck, especially with the introduction of the long wheelbase capable of carrying the displayed short wheelbase as a whole!

Even though the owner may be a woman, this kaido racer is far from being girly!
This Cresta GX51 wasn’t created by her, but in the end she did buy it from some chap who spent over half a year of work on the car.

Team Madonna keeps amazing me. First of all the insane hotrod ass-up-face-down Cedric was copied many times already and now what to think about this bizarre creation?
Is that a Cedric? Yes it is! If it would have been pink and had six wheels in total it would totally have been Miss Penelope’s 60s Rolls Royce!
At the rear they even managed to embed R30 tail lights in the bodywork! (more…)

Only a picture of the nose of the car?
Well, do you need more than that? There is so much win in only the nose of this Skyline C211 Japan:
1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper!
2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins
3. Star Sharks
4. Typical early-Eighties Advan front air dam
At the rear it is a bit less exciting:
Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. 😉

Most Leopards transformed into kaido racers involve the older F30, so seeing this odd colored Leopard F31 with an set of fender flares and an oil cooler attached to it made me very curious on how it looked from a different angle.
Unfortunately I haven’t found another one so far, but nevertheless wanted to share…
Picture found at in Ka Ry’s photostream at Flickr. (Definitely worth browsing through his streams!)
