Blacktop or backroads, this “Subaru” seems to be ready for it. Are you?

While we don’t have information about the details, this adult Little Tikes car consists of a 1969 Subaru 360 body on a 2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 chassis.

I thought this was going to be that Mad Max-style LS-swapped Forester that was floating around the market for a while.

Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the project car is made.

Subaru 360-the T-shirt, Subaru 360-the Coloring Book, Subaru 360-the Lunch box, Subaru 360-the Breakfast Cereal, Subaru 360-the Flame Thrower.

I have seen it because some guy made a IG about it being the "wildest 360 ever" and many people tagged me and ensured that respect was given to the LMP360s name.

That said this thing is neat but kinda terrifying.  

If someone finds a super cheap SXS we could replicate it with an Autobianchi..

Just realized where I’ve seen this before. It’s a 1:1 Stomper. (I had the ’57 Chevy Nomad.)

I wonder if there's an aftermarket for better wheels for those rides. Hmm..
