Toyota's 850-horsepower Camry is insane!

Toyota unveils 850-horsepower Camry - Nov. 4, 2014

Toyota unveiled an 850-horsepower Camry sedan at a Las Vegas trade show Tuesday.

Compare that horsepower figure to a Lamborghini Huracán, which packs 602, or a Dodge Challenger Hellcat with 707.

Toyota (TM) calls it the "Sleeper Camry." Generally speaking, a "sleeper car" is one that looks like a regular, everyday car from the outside but that hides a surprisingly powerful engine under the hood.

This car takes that idea to the extreme. From the outside, only the wheels and tires offer any clue that it's anything but a new Toyota Camry.

I can only imagine what damage the middle aged Asian owner will do with this when they accidentally drive through a store front because it was in drive instead of reverse.

There's nothing Camry about that except a shell that resembles one.

Heck, put a shell of a Prius on it for more shock value.

Looks like it has stock door panels in there. That's awesome!
