READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[Downhill Dino]

This I knew, it still flies under the Mazda name so that's what I went by.

I did debate whether or not to just put Autozam but it's up to W&N.

 

[Grayfox]

Honda Civic Hatachback 2006-2010 FK/FN chassis.

Mazda MX-5 SP
Stats:
Production: 2002 (100 Built)
Style: Roadster
Engine: 1.8L Turbo Inline-4 (Rated: 211 HP, 198(?) lb.ft.)
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Layout: Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive
Related: Mazda MX-5 [NB]

Car is Mazda produced and sold. (Australia Only)​

 

[mustang fanatic]

100 built. What makes it so special?

 

[White & Nerdy]

It's what the US Mazdaspeed Miata could have been, probably.

 

[Jet Badger]

100 built. What makes it so special?

Turbocharger.

 

[Sage Ages]

So, it's pretty much an Aussie version of the Mazdaspeed/Miata Turbo?

 

[Azure Flare]

If it's supposed to be an Aussie-market model, it should be deadly, but it's just a ****ing Miata with a turbo on it!

Seriously Uncool, park this next to the Sunbird!

First time here... so...


Citroen BX Sport

Production: 1985-1987 (7,500 Built)
Style: Hatchback.
Engine: 1.9L SOHC 2 Cylinder producing 126hp
Top Speed: 126kmh / 78.75mph.
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Layout: Front Engine, Front Wheel Drive

Performance version of the Citroen BX. My dad owned a BX, not this version though. Over 2 million BX's in general were made worldwide - 1 was even a Group B rally car. The Sport was LHD only and not sold in the UK.

 

[Roger the Horse]

We had the 16v. May I recommend that you change that to the standard BX as the Sport and 16v both look pretty much identical on the outside, in comparison to the standard model which was considerably different looking, and hey, this is the cool wall, aesthetics are a big deal. You'll probably get about the same result for that as the 16v got.

Standard BX.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

So, it's pretty much an Aussie version of the Mazdaspeed/Miata Turbo?

Yes, without the bodykit or, any of the other MazdaSpeed modifications. It is literally a stock NB MX-5 with a turbo.

Developed with Prodrive.

In response Mazda in Japan came up with the SE, which was considerably higher volume and was essentially the MazdaSpeed MX-5 with less power.

@White & Nerdy I think you skipped my nomination for the Renault Safrane on the bottom of page 20

@Downhill Dino The torque output of the AZ-1's engine was 8.7 kgfm/63 lb-ft/85 Nm.

 

[Downhill Dino]

@Downhill Dino The torque output of the AZ-1's engine was 8.7 kgfm/63 lb-ft/85 Nm.

Thanks I'll add it in when I can. 👍 Wasn't finding consistent numbers so I left it blank.

I know getting off-topic is a bit frowned upon in this thread but I'm too curious: How the hell does it have such a ridiculously low top speed??? Sheesh, it's 20 kmh lower than my mom's Fiat and, mind you, it's got 82hp out of a 1.3. Does it have some super mega short ratio gearbox?

Probably a typo.

I'm guessing the top speed is 126mph, and it was incorrectly converted to km/h.

Thanks for the answer, yeah, didn't thought of that but it seems to be the case.

Also, I see my nomination was ignored despite being a crowd favourite (), most likely because I didn't give the full specs of it, so here they are.

Are those specs comprehensive enough W&N?

 

[White & Nerdy]

I skipped it because I'm an idiot. It looked more like a normal post than a nomination, so I sort of didn't realize it was a nomination.

 

[Slash]

I think the "under new management" in the title need to go, you've been running this for a fair amount of time 👍

Yeah I keep looking for the nomination thread, looking for it to start with "GTP Cool Wall", but it start with something else which I never remember so it takes me several frustrating minutes each time I want to come here...

[SomePlayaDude]

With that gone, the only thing we need now is a sticky.

 

[Sage Ages]

Me and @NoobMan DS have also been forgotten.

It happens 👍. Is it enough info now to have it listed on the nomination waiting list?

 

[White & Nerdy]

Yes

 

[Mike458]

Is there a link to see where it has been done already?

 

[Slash]

Yes, it's in the sticky at the top of this forum called "GTP Cool Wall Resulats". In there is a link to each car polled as well of a list of cars that have previously been polled.

 

[Mike458]

YESSSSSSSSSS!

My life is complete.

Mazda RX500

NOT IN PRODUCTION, CONCEPT CAR

Engine: 491x2cc Rotary Engine (total 982cc)
Max Power: 246 HP
Max Torques: UNKNOWN
Body Style: 2 door, 2 seater coupe concept car

[Azure Flare]

I wonder if there is anyone who knew that car existed before GT6 brought it to the masses.

And I think you made a mistake with your engine specs, it actually is 491x2cc, equalling a total displacement of 982cc.

1991-1995 Bugatti EB110 GT​

Source.

Production Year: 1991-1995.

Price: $ 1,200,000 (not sure, need help on original price!)

Engine: 3.5L quad-turbo V12, 560 hp, 650 nm.

Top speed: 213 MPH (343 KMH)

0-60: 4.2 seconds

Transmission: 6 speed manual

Length: 4,404 mm (173.4 in)

Width: 1,940 mm (76.4 in)

Height: 1,114 mm (43.9 in)

Weight: 1,615 kg (3,560 lb)

My Take On This:

First Bugatti on the wall, and it's not a fat french millionaire's toy. It's an Italian millionaire's toy, mio amico! This is what i want to see. Not expecting a McQueens, but it's going to be high, i know.

Strangely, it's like the Veyron that it's also 4 wheel drive: a fact i recently knew. Also: designed by the one and only Marcello Gandini.

That names should ring a bell for fans of the Cizeta, Miura, Countach, and Stratos.
