1993-2000 Fiat Coupé​

Body Style: 2-Door Coupe
Engine:
- 1.8 l4 16V
- 2.0 l4 16V
- 2.0 l5 20V
- 2.0 l4 16V Turbo
- 2.0 l5 20V Turbo
Power Output: Min: 129 hp @6300 rpm -> Max: 220 hp @5750 rpm
Torque: Min: (121 lb·ft) @4300 rpm -> Max: (229 lb·ft) @2500 rpm
Weight: 1,250–1,320 kg
Transmission: 5 and 6-speed manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine, Front Wheel Drive
Additional Information:
The Fiat Coupe, first seen at the Brussels Motor Show in 1993, was based on the same platform as the Tipo hatchback. Clothed in a body styled by Chris Bangle before he became notorious for 'flame-surfaced' BMW's, it looked fantastic, all scallops, slashes and bulges. The Pininfarina-styled interior was suitably pretty too, with its signature painted-metal band running right round the cabin.

The Coupe was initially available with the last iteration of Fiat's legendary twin-cam, four-cylinder engine in 2.0-litre, 16-valve form. These engines (both NA and turbo) were inherited from the Lancia Delta Integrale, winner of the World Rally Championship a record six times. Thanks to its Integrale-derived powerplant, the 195bhp four-cylinder Turbo was respectably quick, sprinting to 60mph in 7.3 seconds and topping out at 140mph. But the 220bhp five-cylinder Turbo was nothing less than one of the fastest FWD cars of its time. 0-60mph took just 6.3 seconds, with a top speed of 155mph, accompanied by an Audi Quattro-esque soundtrack. Sensibly Fiat saw fit to equip both versions of the Turbo with a proper limited-slip differential, preventing the rampant understeer that would have been inevitable otherwise. The combination of chassis, power and control added up to one of the best-driving cars of the Nineties, regardless of which wheels were doing the driving.

Coupe production came to an end in 2000 after nearly 73,000 had been built.

Please no. Thank @Wiegert for banning concepts though. At least there won't be anymore horrid concept/vaporware/prototype cars.

Rules are rules, Neddo. The ME-412 is a concept (even if it runs and drives).

As much as the ME Four Twelve functions, it's still a concept car.

You gotta follow the rules Neddo. If you can't then come back later until you decide to follow the rules of the Cool Wall.

Gem or abomination, a concept car is a concept car.

Looks like we have someone who cannot accept that concept cars (whether would be gem or vaporware/abomination) are banned from the Cool Wall.

Alright let's just stop this before it gets outta hand. Just accept that concept cars are banned.

Transmission: 7-speed automatic; 6-speed manual

Additional Information: (notes) Although technically the production years are 2009-2013, I list it as 2010 because it was facelifted after one year. Many features that came standard in 2010 were mere options in 2009, along with better looks. Additionally, there were virtually no changes in 2014 and 2015, apart from the name.
Trim levels included Base, Journey, Sport, and IPL. You cannot get a manual AWD sedan.

Spoiler: Additional Information:

Built by Mercedes to slot in between the E Class and the S Class as an executive coupe, built on the W211 E-Class platform, after the E-Class coupe went out of production in 1995. Mercedes say the CLS was designed to offer the "strong, emotive charisma" of a coupe with the "comfort and practicality" of an executive sedan. The CLS' design, aside from having 4 doors, tends towards a coupe, with a sleek roofline reducing the rear passenger room to a 2+2 arrangement, and with a smaller selection of engines catered towards the high power range compared to the large choice of engines in the E-Class.

The production CLS500 was unveiled at the 2004 New York International Auto Show and European models went on sale that year while the United States would have to wait until 2005, and the CLS500 and 55 AMG were the initial offerings. Mercedes phased out the 5.0 and 5.5 V8's in the CLS500 and CLS55 with 5.5 and 6.2 V8's respectively in 2006. This resulted in the cars changing their names to the CLS550 and CLS63 AMG in the states while some markets kept the CLS500 badging.

The 2012 CLS550 had a base price of $72,175 in 2011 with the CLS63 AMG starting at $96,775 for the base model with F1 gearbox and 19" rims. The AMG models were normal CLS' tuned by AMG, featuring bigger, more powerful, engines with early models having a V8 and later models utilizing a 6.2 V12. Features exclusive to the AMG include sports seats, 18" alloy wheels with wider tyres (in UK markets), 19" 5-Spoke alloy wheels (Standard in the US, optional for all other markets), large air intakes and quad chromed oval exhausts.

Available in 4 engine variants, the CLS Grand Edition came with designo magno platinum matte paint, radiator grill louvres, choice of 4 metallic body colours (obsidian black, iridium silver, carneol red or flint grey), bi-xenon headlights, active light function, AMG alloy wheels, "Grand Edition" insignia's, marron interior and many other unique features.

Mercedes put all of it's latest safety features into the CLS including front & side airbags, "smart sensor" system for seatbelts and airbags that can react to accident severity, "Pre-safe" system to predict collisions and, when the system is activiated, tightens seatbelts, adjusts front seats to crash position and closes the sunroof in order to minimise injuries.

More than 170,000 W129 CLS' were sold when production ended in 2011 (2012 in export markets), with 60,000 of total sales coming from the United States alone.

Could you specify the years? Late eighties could mean 1985-1989.

Edit: Google tells me 1985-1991.

1985-1991.

 

[Wiegert]

Honestly, if you're not even going to bother adding any year of manufacture let alone the full year range, you're better off waiting until you're bloody sure before posting here. Same goes for the rest of the specification.

@JASON_ROCKS1998's nomination was correct before @Neddo could fix their own. So they gets bumped up a spot.

 

[Obelisk]

Wiegert, a question.

How do you classify road cars that don't fit the minimum requirement to be considered production vehicles?

(I.E. Hennessey Venom)

 

[Wiegert]

@Obelisk So long as a car has been created for road use with actual examples being built and bought instead of just projected production numbers and the odd prototype, it should be eligible. Rules set out in the OP must also be taken into account, of course.

If you're unsure about its legitimacy then choose something that's obviously roadworthy with an acceptable specs list.

1975-1981 Triumph TR7/TR8

Body Style
2-door roadster, hardtop or convertible

Engine
2.0L Triumph I4 TR7
3.5L Rover V8 TR8

Power
106 hp TR7
133 hp TR8
148 hp TR8 - fuel injector models

Torque
119 lbs/ft TR7
164 lbs/ft TR8

Drivetrain
Front-engined, rear-wheel drive

Transmission
3-speed automatic, 4/5-speed manual TR7
5-speed manual TR8

Weight
2,407 lbs / 1,100 kg TR7
2,654 lbs / 1,204 kg TR8

Additional Information
Four-cylinder models were sold as Triumph TR7.
Eight-cylinder models were produced and sold as Triumph TR8.

It's a happy coincidence that the 8th TR series was an eight-cylinder model.

---

Note for @Wiegert based on that, I was tempted to submit this as TR7/TR8 but I will leave that to your judgement. The differences between the two apart from the engine are trivial at most.

 

[Wiegert]

@Liquid I've often thought about nominating the TR7/8 combo myself. So I do think anybody else nominating one version could stand to add the other.

 

[Liquid]

Done. 👍
