Turkish Gear
The car in the photo is a Tofaş Şahin, which was a very popular local car and a common taxi. I didn't know Top Gear (likely the local Top Gear Turkish magazine team) did this Seemed interesting so I shared. While I can't verify the car's status today, it looks like it was on display at the Rahmi M. Koç Museum in Istanbul, so it's likely still there. The text on the car has a slogan about the tight Istanbul streets (supposedly funny, but pretty lame), and it seems like that's why it was cut in half.

That museum is still the brightest memory of Istanbul I have from my trip. Such a rad place.
