'Century Motorsport have been asked to prepare the engine and improve the handling on the Marangoni - Redline Yaris Project. The project shown in the Redline Magazine in 2007 was to transplant a MK2 Toyota MR2 Turbo engine into a Toyota Yaris. However whilst the project was extremely successful in producing a stunning car, the engine performance and handling characteristics were not quite as desired. Marangoni approached Century Motorsport’s engine expert Nathan Freke to produce a car capable of high performance on the drag strip in tandem with the UK’s fastest MR2, campaigned over the last 2 years by Nathan. The fact that Century has been chosen by the 2nd largest Italian tyre company to carry out the required transformation is testament to the quality of Century Motorsport’s work.'
'The Century Marangoni MR2 Engined Yaris ran for the first time last weekend at the Fast Show. After the engine being rebuilt and the rear drive system and suspension being redone by Century Motorsport, the Yaris was the star of the show, ( well behind the Jet Car!!). Marangoni Tyres are the headline sponsors of the Fast Show, and were very pleased with the Yaris making a run on the Saturday, and several runs on the Sunday. In the hands of Century Motorsport Team Principal, Nathan Freke the Yaris made some very respectable runs ending with a 12.6 second pass with 119mph terminal. We were very pleased with the perfprmance and once we have the traction sorted the car will be well down into the 11’s. Marangoni Sales Director Derek Carruthers said ‘The car looked stable and quick and will provide Marangoni with a great marketing vehicle for this year, we are looking forward to running it against the other drag car we are involved with - the Century Marangoni MR2. We are aiming to have both cars running at the Shakespear meeting on the 18th /19th April when we be able to see what they can do.'
