I'd like to nominate the Melkus RS1000. It was built from 1969-1979.

Built in eastern Germany during the communist regime, this little car is an outstanding achievement given the limited resources they had.

Powerered by a Wartburg 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine, it could achieve a top speed of 130mph (210 km/h) in race spec.

On top of that, it really looks cool, very Ferrari-like

[NotThePrez]

Sorry, but you're a bit late. Once the nominations open up again, then you can suggest a car.

 

[opladener]

Sorry, but the first post has only 13 cars in the nomination list.
I thought it would be open until there are 30 suggestions ?
Or did I miss anything ?

EDIT: Figured it out, I'll try again when nominations open.

 

[astrosdude91]

Well the fact that there is a big fat NOW CLOSED in the thread title should be enough.

 

[TheBook]

And again, we're open!

I apologize for not being right at the top of things related to the wall, but I haven't had much time lately to mess with things. That should change soon, though. Anywho, for now, get your nominations in.

 

[astrosdude91]

Ok. I've got a good one, it should create some very mixed results:

GENERAL:

Wheelbase = 105.9"
Length = 174.9"
Width = 81"

Boot capacity = 8.88 cu. Ft
Twin fuel tanks = 23.8 gallons

PERFORMANCE:

0-60 MPH = 4.4 sec.,

Top Speed = over 190 MPH


The Cizeta-Moroder V16T featured a technically advanced sixteen cylinder engine made up of two coupled V8s sharing a single block. Styled by Marcello Gandini, the body was strikingly similar to the later Lamborghini Diablo's as Gandini first proposed the design to the then Chrysler-owned Lamborghini, which altered the concept significantly. Gandini then brought the original Diablo design to Cizeta. The prototype was the only car to carry the "Cizeta-Moroder" badge, as Giorgio Moroder pulled out of the Cizeta project in 1990. The prototype remains with Giorgio Moroder to this day.

Due to what seems to be lack of interest, I'm going to close the nominations early and start polling what's there.

 

[TheBook]

Bump for openness.

Start getting your entries in; I'll close the nominations after a week of inactivity or when we get thirty entries, whichever comes first.
