She's a fine looking lassie, and a hunnert and dirty ponies is a lot fer a gal of her size... but she drinks like a horse.

At least she don't regularly barf up apex seals like that turbocharged witch with the big hooters that all the Fast and Furious fanboys go gaga over.


Oh, subzero, by the way. For no particularly good reason.
 
Ugly and little torque, but Wankel engines are always cool.
Reaching all the way back from 2003 to 1971, the RX-8's RENESIS strikes again. For a car with 100-130 horsepower, it really isn't lacking for peak torque, and I imagine the curve isn't terribly high-RPM biased either. I continue to find it amusing how the RX-8 rewrote the rotary's history.

...unless you consider 100lb.ft to 115lb.ft "little" just on face value, which is fair enough.
 
Rotary stuff can be ignored altogether. It's a neatly-styled two-door coupe from the early 1970s. All those factors make it cool enough on their own.
