Timo Salonen's nickname among Finnish racing drivers was "Löysä", which translates as "Slack". It came from his tendency to drive with only one hand on the wheel.

[@tyraela115]

I know. We own one - not the Rally version but a normal (1.4 liter petrol lol I know it`s not much) and the best handling car of it`s class of the era.

It looks faster than today's Paris-Dakar cars

[@jppanni2224]

now they are speed limited,they wasn't before....this one is 300 to 330 hp 205k/h 7 gears 2.5l

[@lametraserillos1]

carlos sainz mini buggy have around 330 hp ... and al alatiya toyota hilux is a v8 5 litres around 380 hp ... both speeds around 190-200 km/h ... better suspensions,gear boxes,tires,frames,brakes... security

[@Jesuscger]

@@jppanni2224 Sorry, but the speed record of this car is 250Km/h on the desert by Ari Vatanen (2500cc and 390HP on the MK5 model) and it stills the world record speed on this type of terrain.

I wonder what Mr T Salonen is doing today ?.

[@MPPelli]

After retiring from motorsport, he has owned a car dealership. "As a hobby", he says.

Good morning MusicMikko, thanks very much for letting me know about Mr Salonen and I hope that you and yours are staying safe during this particular medical 🏥 situation, have a great Christmas 🎄 and let’s all hope that 2021 is a better year .

He's a doctor in Japan, occasionally racing his blue S2000 in the mountains.

[@Wok_Agenda]

Is it me or did vw steal the front design when made the Tuareg?

[@paulvavrina179]

Wouldn't be the first time that they steal a design.

これを見た時、当時の三菱では絶対に勝てないだろうな、と痛感した車。
