Trivia

The Tashita in the intro for Carmageddon II

Ed 101's original vehicle

• A robot with psychotic tendencies could be said to draw inspiration from the Terminator franchise, especially when one considers that Arnie's model number was T-101. A more noticeable comparison namewise would be with the ED-209 droid from action film RoboCop.
• Driver's Ed (short for Driver's Education) is the name for driving lessons in the US, and 101 is a beginning-level or basic course number taught at colleges and universities.
• A Tashita with a different paintjob (and driven by Batmad) features in the Carmageddon II intro FMV.
• Ed 101 is not to be confused with De-d 209 from the PlayStation version.
• Tashita Coupe is based primarily upon the racing spec Toyota Supra or Toyota MR2. It also contains elements of the Mazda RX-7 and Peugeot 205 Turbo 16. Both Toyota and Mazda are Japanese companies, which would explain the Japanese flag image on the bonnet.
• Tashita 2 both shares identity of 1993 Toyota Supra and 1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, which in its day was one of the most successful racing cars of its class.
• Tashita from Reincarnation and Max Damage is Subaru BRZ or his other names is Toyota 86/GT86/FT86, Scion FR-S. Both Toyota and Subaru are Japanese companies.
• The Tashita appeared in the intro of the Playstation version, but with a different paintjob.
• The Official Carmageddon web site showed a very different vehicle for Ed 101 to drive in Carmageddon, which didn't make it into the final release: A Wipeout-style hover car. Its textures, however are hidden in the final release, inside Devil's Canyon Mining Town's files.
• Ed bears a resemblence to Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie.
