We Can't Rent This Camry, But Maybe We Can Track It

TTAC’s authorial corps have been the lone contrarian element in their praise for the Toyota Camry – but not even Jack Baruth could have imagined a Camry XSE like the one that debuted at the SEMA show.

The “Camry” seen here is little more than a tube-framed dragster with the V8 engine and driveline out of a Toyota Tundra, along with a nitrous oxide system. The 850 hp dragster is said to be good for a sub-10 second quarter-mile. If it weren’t a one-off concept that is in no way street legal, it could almost be Toyota’s Hellcat.
