@Liquid I'd prefer it if images of models with stock exterior parts were used in all nominations. Or for the header images at least.

Also missing torque figures.

1999-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)

Body Style: 2 Door Coupe
Engine: "RB26DETT" 2.6 Twin Turbo Inline 6
Power Output: 330 BHP (500HP in NISMO Z-Tune)
Torque: 300 FT-LBS
Weight: 1,540 KG
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine All Wheel Drive
Additional Information: The R34 was the fifth generation Skyline, and the final Skyline GT-R, and was released in 1999 with production ending in 2002. The car was powered by the same RB26 Twin Turbo Inline 6 as the R32 & R33 but with power uprated to 330HP (Although Nissan advertised the car as producing 276HP, as did all Japanese manufacturers). Like the R33, V-Spec models came with the "ATTESA E-TS Pro" AWD system and an Active LSD at the rear, with base models using the standard "ATTESA E-TS" system. A new feature in the R34 was a digital 5.8" LCD display on the dashboard, showing readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as turbo boost pressure, oil & water temperature and others, with the V-Spec also having intake and exhaust gas temperatures. NISMO MFD's could be purchased as an optioned that included a lap timer, G-Force meter and increased boost pressure (2 Bar from 1.2 Bar). The "V-Spec II" was released in 2000 which featured stiffer suspension, larger rear brakes, carbon fibre hood (with NACA duct) and an iridium centre console. In 2002 Nissan released the final R34 GT-R, the V-Spec II Nür (Nürburgring) and was developed at the Nürburgring and 1000 were made and came with larger turbo's (allowing the boost to be safely increased to produce 450HP) and a speedometer reading up to 200MPH. To finish the GT-R's production NISMO (Nissan's in-house tuning company) created the Z-Tune. They were built in 2003 and featured a tuned RB26 2.8L "Z1" producing 500HP, and other enhancements to create the ultimate GT-R. All Z-Tune's were used R34 GT-R's with under 18,000 miles on the clock. The Z-Tune is regarded as the most expensive street legal GT-R ever built, costing as much as $290,000. 12,000 GT-R's were built over the 3 year production period, of them 4,000 were base models, 1,300 V-Spec's, 80 UK V-Spec's, 5,500 V-Spec II's, 1,000 V-Spec II Nur's, 230 M-Spec's and 20 NISMO Z-Tune's. In 2001 Nissan announced they would seperate GT-R from the Skyline's name, with the brand new Nissan GT-R being released in 2007.

2002-2007 Toyota Caldina GT-Four, incl. N Edition (ST246)

Body Style: 5-door, 5-seat station wagon
Engine: 2.0L Toyota 3S-GTE turbocharged inline-4
Power: 256hp
Torque: 239lb-ft
Weight: 1480kg (GT-Four), 1490kg (N Edition)
Transmission: 5-speed Tiptronic automatic

Additional Information: After the demise of the Celica, the Caldina GT-Four was one of Toyota's sportiest models in Japan. It featured the engine from the Celica GT-Four - Toyota's venerable 3S-GTE 2.0L four, and Toyota's proprietary All-Trac 4WD system.

The Caldina was never officially imported from Japan but is a common grey import thanks to its capability and practicality. Late in its life there was a "N" edition as a tribute to Toyota's motorsports development guru and the father of the GT-Four - Hiromu Nasume. This featured a Torsen rear LSD, Recaro front seats and trimmings, a different suspension tune and a front upper strut bar, among other things as specified by Nasume.

1992-2003 TVR Chimaera

Body Style: 2-Door Convertible
Engine: 4.0L Hi Compression V8, 4.0L-5.0L V8,
Power Output: 275 (HC), 240-340hp
Torque: 305 (HC), 270-320lb.ft
Weight: 1060kg
Transmission: 5-Speed Manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive
Additional Information:
A GT version of the Griffith, the Chimaera out sold it by 3 to 1. It appealed to those drivers who wanted an out and out sports car but with the convenience of ample luggage room. By 2003, when production finally finished, over 6000 had left TVR's Blackpool production line, making it TVR's biggest success story.
The Chimaera had been produced with a choice of 5 engines ranging from a 4ltr right through to the monster 5ltr. It also had 3 face lifts. The Chimaera was produced in a vast combination of colours and trim levels, meaning that there's a car to satisfy everyone's taste and pocket.
The name of the car comes, just like the TVR Cerbera, from the Greek mythology. Chimera was a creature with parts from multiple animals, similar to TVR's vehicle which used an engine based on the Rover V8. Even if it was launched in 1992, Chimaera had an impressive line-up of optional features, including the power assisted steering, the air conditioning, the full leather interior, the gold colored badges and the chrome steering wheel.
In 1993 the Chimaera became TVR's biggest selling car and remained in that position untill 1998. There were about 6000 produced, and there are more Chimaeras on the road than the total TVR's produced over the preceding 25 years.

Spoiler: What they said at the time

Fast Lane 1993
"Overall, this is possibly the best handling front-engined/rear-driven sports car in the world."

Sports Car International 1994
"There's little on the market that can touch the Chimaera for its seemingly incongruous blend of high performance, road behavior, individuality and value."

evo 1999
"What you get are straight-forward, old-fashioned thrills. Buy wisely and you won't be disappointed."

Performance Car 1997
"The TVR sounds as glorious as a Rolls-Royce Merlin aero engine."

Car 1997
"The Chimaera sounds good and pulls enough wallop to satisfy all but the utterly power-crazed."

1978 Dome Zero Prototype

Body Style: 2-door sports car
Engine: 2.8L Nissan L28E inline-6
Power: 143 hp
Torque: 166 lb-ft
Weight: 920 kg
Transmission: 5-speed manual

@Wiegert Is is too late to change my nomination? I realized that I haven't nominated an American car until now and that got me thinking that I should nominate one. I will nominate the Dome after this is finished, or someone else can nominate it if they wish.

1990-1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (C4)

Body Style: 2-door coupe
Engine: 5.7L LT5 small-block V8
Power: 375 hp
Torque: 370 lb-ft
Weight: 1,572 kg
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Drivetrain: Front-engined, rear wheel drive
Additional Information: After GM bought Lotus in 1986, the Corvette division approached Lotus to produce the world's fastest production sports car, based on the C4 Corvette. With GM, Lotus designed a new engine to fit in place of the L98 V8 already used in the C4, and the result of that was the LT5, an aluminum-block V-8 with the same bore centers as the L98, but with four overhead camshafts and 32 valves. In addition to the engine, Lotus helped design the ZR-1's upgraded braking and steering systems, and it helped the ZR-1 become more than just a modern-day muscle car with a big engine and no real capability on the track. It went on sale in 1990, and it was only available as a coupe. The ZR-1 went through some minor updates until production ceased in 1995. A total of 6,939 ZR-1s were manufactured over the six-year period. Although the ZR-1 was extremely quick for its time (0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and onto 180+ mph), the huge performance of the LT5 engine was matched by its robustness. As evidence of this, a stock ZR-1 set seven international world records at a test track in Fort Stockton, Texas on March 1, 1990, which was verified by the FIA. These records have since been broken by the Volkswagen W12.​

1967 Mohs Ostentatienne Opera

Spoiler: Additional images

Body Style: Saloon? Coupe? Crossover? A small manor? I don't know. All I know is that entry was through a single rear door.
Engine: 5L V8 / OHV / 16 Total valves / 2 valves per cylinder
Power Output: 192.97 bhp @ 4400 RPM
Torque: 272 ft.lb @ 2800 RPM
Weight: 2604 kg/5740 lbs. Same as the Death Star I think.
Transmission: 3 speed automatic transmission. Figured this thing would have 10 speeds because, you know, ostentatiousness.
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive. Again, surprised this was so mundane. I figured it would be mid-engined and front wheel drive or something more "distinguished".
Additional Information: The Ostentienne Opera Sedan was accessible only from its one rear door and sported solid steel side rails for crash protection. Ostentatious doesn't begin to describe options like gold-inlaid panels, refrigerators, sealed beam taillights, and Ming-style oriental rugs. It also had nitrogen filling those tyres surrounding those 20" wheels. Also, the engine came from a International Harvester, as was the chassis. At a starting price of $19,600 in 1967 and the styling, it's no wonder this car is probably one you never heard of.
