Mercedes-AMG C63 S (featuring 503 hp)

Volkswagen Golf TDi (The first thing that comes up when going onto street view on the A503)

 

[Taegon Lewis]

4.5/10

I randomly Googled "Mazda RX-8 Rally Car", since the RX-7 used to be a Group B-rally car, and found this:

 

[FT-1]

8/10

Where an RX-8 feels more at home, I guess.

 

[Taegon Lewis]

8.5/10

Another JDM-Veteran sports car, outside of its natural habitat of drifting in mountainous roads/race tracks and doing 0-100 drag runs: the Honda S2000 (AP2, shown.)

 

[FT-1]

8/10

I figured it is my duty to take these stray sports cars and place them back where they belong.

Speaking of rally and S2000s...

[Taegon Lewis]

6/10

Earliest Subaru rally car, I can find in Google (Around, probably mid-1980s.) Plus, it's an Alcyone XT/XT6!:

Look at this cute, little, Hiroshima-bred, off-road machine from New Zealand: Force Motorsport's Mazda2/Demio (DJ) Group AP4 Rally Car!

(PERSONAL NOTE):
This car shows, what I want Mazda's KODO Design language to create, outside the DJ-Chassis Demio/Mazda2. (That, and also return to WRC.) Now, I'm waiting for a Rally Raid T1-variant for the CX-3.

Now, a hidden gem from Mäkinen's past: the Mazda 323 GT-X Group A Rally Car.

View attachment 650640

EDITED: Image shown as a GT-X, not a GT-R. My mistake...

Where did I see this car before?

Close enough but...you know.

[Michelin Man]

7.5/10, would love Mazda to return to top flight rallying, after the legendary 323 and RX-7 Group B

Edit: Tree'd, beaten to it

8/10 for the WR Evo

Same goes for Mitsubishi (and Subaru of course)

Mitsubishi Mirage WRC2 Evo Hybrid - I know there's an R5 Mirage, but this one, built to run in the WRC 2, has the engine and running gear from an Evo X

[Taegon Lewis]

9.5/10 (Because, I'm going to miss RUF in various racing games.)

Here is another KODO-designed Mazda, that deserves some racing recognition: this 1st-Generation (Pre-Facelift), 3.0-liter, twin-turbo, four-cylinder CX-5 Rally Raid T1 from Portugal.

Caked w/Dirt & Gravel:

More CX-5 Dirtiness:

Cockpit View (Just in case... ) :

FUN FACT: This specific CX-5 shares the same chassis from the Nissan Frontier/Navarra (D22) Pick-Up.

More Info:

This CX-5 is the vehicle embodiment of the old saying, "Be careful with the quiet ones."

 

[Michelin Man]

7/10 Interesting, quite a large displacement 4-cylinder too at 3.0L.

The bonkers 600+hp 7.0-Litre Lister Le Mans XJS

 

[Taegon Lewis]

7/10 Interesting, quite a large displacement 4-cylinder too at 3.0L.

The closest 3.0L 4-cylinder engine Mazda has ever made, was the Mazda/Perkins HA Diesel-4, for commercial vehicles in their home market. (Specifically, 2977cc...)

6.5/10

I've searched for "Kia Rio Rally Car" on Google, and this is what I've found:

 

[Michelin Man]

8.5/10 Because that's actually Gigi Gali's 600HP Kia Rio Rallycross car that he uses in FIA World Rallycross

Saab 9-3 Viggen Pikes Peak

 

[Taegon Lewis]

11/10 (I loved the SAAB Viggen before. But, when I saw this hill climb variant... I fainted.)

Continuing my Mazda-spree:

Mazda3/Axela MARC-Spec V8 Touring Car (Darrell Lea STIX #91)

(Ford Coyote V8+KODO-designed Mazda+Endurance/Touring Car Racing=PROFIT!)

This Mazda 3/Axela from Down Under definitely tops off against its diesel-powered, "bigger sibling" Mazda6/Atenza in the US.

 

[Cowboy]

6/10

550HP Ford Five Hundred GTR

 

[Michelin Man]

9/10 love the Marc cars, sort of combine aspects from all major touring car programs, into a small family hatcback type body with a V8, love it.

Edit; tree'd once more, gosh I'm too slow .

Anyway

7/10 for the five hundred GTR, because that's new to me

Citroen Xantia Turbo 4x4 Rallycross

 

[epic_apri_39]

10/10 cus good Citroen and Rallycross

No Mazda spree is complete without this monster.

 

[Taegon Lewis]

7/10 (I respect the 787B, but it's getting overrated. Plus, I'm running out of Mazdas, to showcase.)

Yes, there was a Raid T1-Spec Nissan Juke.

Spoiler

Patrick=Nissan and/or builder of Rally Raid Juke

SpongeBob=Rally Raid Juke

Fishes=People who hates the "ordinary" Juke/GTPlanet Members, who discover this specific Juke.

 

[Michelin Man]

3.5/10 No modification to the Juke, be it a race/raid version, will improve it's looks . Doesn't help that I despise crossovers greatly anyway

Prefix Viper Medusa Roadster

 

[Taegon Lewis]

10/10 (R.I.P. Viper)

Honda NSX (NA1) Rally Car... Enough said.

 

[ToyGTone]

NSX and rallying!?
11/10

Speaking of Honda's, Del Sol anyone?

Sorry if it was blurry.

 

[Michelin Man]

7.5/10 A Del Sol, that doesn't appear to be riced, well...

Isdera Commendatore 112i - with it's roof mounted "wing" mirror

 

[ToyGTone]

6/10 that looks interesting.

Honda Civic

 

[Taegon Lewis]

5/10 (It's like an avant-garde variant of the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.)

EDITED#1: Curses, Tree'd again!

10/10 (Zero amount of Rice shown. It's a clean Civic!)

Trans Am Worldwide's Firebird 455 Super Duty

Engine: GM/Chevy LT1 7.4L V8 (Supercharged)

Power: 1,000+Hp.

Torque: 1,046 lb-ft.

What could be a Dodge Demon-killer, next to Hennessey's Exorcist Camaro. Well, despite it being a 5th-Gen Camaro in a Pontiac masquerade, I think it's a perfect tribute to the fallen "Screaming Chicken/Phoenix."

Plus, this is one of my favorite additions, in the Super Duty's interior. (That, and the "base" Outlaw T/A variant.) :

EDITED#2: Had to change the image, with its Reveal Announcement screenshot.
