Ok, this one I'm not throwing up to guess. It's a Proton () and here's the story behind it:

Porsche driver's 100mph race to the death that killed three pensioners
By ANDY DOLAN

Two strangers who raced their high-powered cars at 100mph in a show of bravado killed three pensioners on their way home from bingo.
Porsche driver Adrian Kuti and Richard Cherry, in a Toyota Celica coupe, weaved across a dual carriageway while playing 'cat and mouse' in the rush hour.

A court heard that the two men were overtaking, undertaking and tailgating at such high speeds it was as if they had a 'death wish'.


The wrecked Proton car in which the three pensioners were killed

Fellow motorists described hearing a roaring noise 'like a jet engine' as Kuti's Cayenne 4x4 whistled past - moments before ploughing into a Proton pulling out of a junction. Driver Joan Harp, 78, and her passengers Joan Clover and Kathleen Deards, both 83, were killed in the smash on the A217 near Banstead, Surrey. A fourth pensioner, Elsie Gallagher, survived but is unable to walk without the aid of a frame.

After the men were each jailed for seven years yesterday, Mrs Gallagher, an 88-year-old widow from Banstead, told the Daily Mail: "They should have got more than seven years for taking the lives of three of my friends.
"The two men were travelling at a disgraceful speed and neither has ever apologised to me. This has had a terrible impact on my life."
Construction worker Kuti, 42, from Cheam, Surrey, and Cherry, 31, a quantity surveyor from Carshalton, were both driving home from work in March last year when Cherry, who had owned the sporty Toyota for only four weeks, accelerated past Kuti's Porsche at a set of traffic lights.
In the race that followed, the two cars were seen driving so close "it looked like one was towing the other". The Porsche's on-board computer recorded its collision speed as 80mph.


Adrian Kuti, who has previous road-rage convictions, and city high-flier Richard Cherry

It hit the Proton with such force that two of the victims were thrown 130ft from the wreckage. Kuti and Cherry were found guilty of three counts of causing death by dangerous driving following a trial at Guildford Crown Court.
The court heard that Kuti had been jailed for five years in 1992 for a road-rage attack where he sprayed ammonia in the face of another driver.
Cherry, described as a career highflier who had been through a 'living hell' since the crash, had no previous criminal record but did have six points on his licence for speeding.

Both were also disqualified from driving for six years.
Judge Neil Stewart told them: "It is impossible to achieve a sentence which reflects the enormity of the consequences of what you did.

"It was not only aggressive driving but arrogant driving."

This is a sickening and senseless reason for those people to die.

I have to say though that they make the Celica sound like an Enzo. Its not. I still own mine and though its a quick little car, its no F1 racer, nor is it a Z.
