Nice, nice, the elegant DB7, in one of its best versions (only the GT and the GTA are better than the Vantage/Volante duo).

Also, I know I'm going to get bashed for nominating yet another bland car, but I found this vehicle while researching for info on another car I was going to nominate (the Nissan March Bolero). This might be one of the very first cars of its kind to be polled in the Cool Wall; a rebadged car with almost no badges at all:

2001 Muji Car 1000

​

Body Style: 3-door hatchback
Engine: 1.0 litre CG10DE Inline-4 engine
Power Output: 59 hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 62 lbs·ft @ 4000rpm
Weight: 840 kg
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Drivetrain: Front engined, front wheel drive.
Additional Information: A collaboration between Japanese retail company Muji, famous for its "no brand" approach to its business of selling retail goods, and Nissan, the Muji Car 1000 is a badgeless and decontented second generation Nissan March/Micra, limited to 1,000 units in 2001. The car, sold exclusively through Muji's online network as a test subject for said system, was a spartan vehicle, sold with basic hubcaps, vinyl-upholstered rear seats and only one choice of engine and transmission. It also followed Henry Ford's idea of one sole body colour as well, since it was only sold in "marble white"...

@GranTurismo916 I just edited a few things, if you could use this more updated version.

You know, your nomination might make it to Miura's house.






...Oh wait, i forgot this is the modern GTP Cool Wall

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Ok, after polling the Samurai (which suffered due to its racing car status, but still did decently well), and the Muji, which is doing surprisingly good considering the agressive uncool responses to other similar average cars in the Wall recently, now it's finally the time to bring forth the car which I was going to nominate the first time around;

1965-1967 Hino Contessa 1300 Coupe

​

Body Style: 2-door coupe
Engine: 1,251 cc GR100 naturally-aspirated inline-4 engine
Power Output: 64 horsepower
Torque: 72 ft-lb
Weight: 945 kg
Transmission: 4-speed manual transmission
Drivetrain: Rear engined, rear wheel drive car
Additional Information: The coupe variant of the second generation Hino Contessa, and one of Hino's last road cars before the brand's purchase by Toyota, which in turn led to Hino shifting their focus towards truck manufacturing. Design comes from Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, also responsible for the Triumph Herald and Stag, along many others. In racing, Australian driver Pete "King of the Mountain" Brock sucessfully raced a 1300 Coupe towards a victory in the Mission Bell 100, at the Riverside Raceway in North America. Teammate Bob Durham followed suit in 2nd place, giving the BRE Hino Coupes a 1-2 victory. The 1300 Coupe's engine was then used for Brock's Hino prototype, my first Cool Wall nomination, the BRE Hino Samurai.

Very well, I'll try to get one ASAP.

I hope that didn't sound rude, btw.

You see my post Nephew?

Ah, no worries. I figure that the number may cause some problems, that's probably why you asked me to change the photo. Nevertheless, the photo has been changed. 👍

 

[GranTurismo916]

You see my post Nephew?

Yeah, but I don't know what you changed.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Yeah, but I don't know what you changed.

He added a "twin supercharged" bit to the engine section of his car. Or so I think, at least.

Also, have you confirmed the modifications to my own car? You haven't given the post a like, so...

 

[GTRacer22]

Yeah, but I don't know what you changed.

I changed Carol to Carroll as I was probably extremely tired when I posted the nomination.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Here's my nomination @GranTurismo916

Marcos Mantis GT '97
Production Year: 1997-2000(Actually the Mantis had 51 cars with 16 being the GT version)
Body Style: 2door coupe/convertible
Engine: V8 charged, 4.6 liters(281 ci)
Horsepower: 499-500hp
Torque: 613 Nm(454 lb-ft)
Weight: 1100 kg
Transmission: 6speed manual
Drivetrain: FR
Max Speed: 288kph
In 1997 the Mantis name was re-used on a 2-seater coupé or convertible road car based on the LM series powered by the 4.6 litre all-aluminium quad-cam Ford 'Modular' engine producing 327 bhp (244 kW; 332 PS) and capable of 170 mph (270 km/h). To accommodate the engine the bonnet of the Mantis was significantly remodelled from the previous LM range (that used the Rover V8), and the upper chassis rails in the engine bay were widened. Price for the Mantis was £46883.

In 1998 it was decided to supercharge the engine to produce the first British production sports car with over 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS), this being named the Mantis GT. Using a Vortech supercharger, and intercooler the Mantis GT engine produced 506 bhp (377 kW; 513 PS), which could accelerate the car from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Price for the Mantis GT was £64331.

Production of the Mantis was 51 cars, with 16 being the supercharged GT version (this does not include the Mantis Challenge race cars).
