What's the fifth car in the sixth and seventh photo's? ONLY thing I can think of is it looks like Chrysler's ME412 concept car.

And that Camaro is SWEET! By far my favorite car there.

It is called the Gumpert Apollo. They only make about 24 a year and it recently ran the fastest lap time on the Top Gear track. It is a BEAST.

Then you would just speed past the entire point of the rally. You would be there all on your own at the finishing point while the rest of them were partying and socializing. You would feel super awesome, although the part where their cars are carried over to Korea for the rest of the rally might pose a problem. I know you are being facetious but the comedy mechanism is/was lost if you knew what Gumball is all about.

I thought the same thing about the Camaro....funny, with all those exotics prancing around and its a lil ole hot rod that steals the show.
