Minivan

Like most auto enthusiasts, I have a deep-seated distaste for minivans. Sure, they’re some of the most practical vehicles on the road today, but driving one pretty much says that you’ve given up on your own life and your kids have won.

Every dad who’s had to capitulate to the practicalities of a minivan can now dream even bigger. Toyota has created a 4×4 Sienna minivan – dubbed the Ultimate Utility Vehicle (UUV) – that looks like Judge Dredd’s four wheel ride.

You’d think that burning rubber and going sideways would be damn near impossible to pull off in a minivan, but that’s exactly what Tofu Drift Van did with their stripped down Toyota Previa family hauler. In this clip, we get a glimpse at what the van can do with just a 2.4-liter, 133 horsepower engine under the hood and a skilled drift driver at the wheel.
