You learn something new... - Cars you didn't know existed, until now!

G60 was great because it finally convinced VW to design Glorious VR6 Master Race.

VR6

*cough*overrated*cough*

But. And this is at Sir Mixalot levels big. When mated like this:



You pretty much can't go wrong in any way, apart from eating up timing chains.

There are Tommy Kaira Silvias. I learned of it's existence when I saw one for sale on craigslist.

Hey hey. Easy now. I had an A2 Jetta 16V with an A3 Jetta VR6 and Passat VR6 manual. The long ratios didn't help off the line but, it was a great high speed cruiser.

Bitter CD

and

AC 428; it uses a lengthened AC Cobra chassis while carrying of a course a Ford 428 V8 and was styled by Frua. At least, that's what the book I'm reading is telling me.

 

[Tornado]

That looks uncannily like a Spitfire that they bisected and welded in a center section from a different car to get the engine to fit.

Weird, I've never heard of Bitter before. Looks like a Lamborghini Espada.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I've learned about these cars in one of my old car books. When I was a kid, I use to collect car books to mainly look at the pictures and then maybe learn something about each car model. I learned about quite a few cars from these books.

 

[The87Dodge]

I like the Bitter CD, kind of reminds me of a Lotus Eclat.

 

[VXR]

Bitter's last car was Commodore/Caprice based, but looked like an Opel Vectra.

Link to said classified, please?

That Commodore Bitter is amusing because they made it look like a FWD car.

 

[Wiegert]

I thought their last creation was literally just an Insignia OPC with "premium" trim and badges?

They even went as far as giving at least one Sports Tourer the Bitter treatment:

 

[SVX]

These are all leaving a bitter taste in my mouth...

I'm sorry

Here you go, the owner is offering 15k usd for it.

[-Fred-]

15k for that?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

15k for that?

Honestly, I've seen other jdm s13s priced in a similar range. Though, only on sites such as "Japanese Classics".

It's not worth more than 6-7k, at best. It's in pretty rough condition, it's got a CA18 that, even with those mods, probably puts out 220hp and is far more efficient at being a paper-weight... Sure it's got a TommyKaira grille and wing, but that's not worth much. You guys are getting shafted down in the States with those prices, it's ridiculous. 15k in Canada gets you a nicely kept R32 GT-R.

No, I mean seriously, for the same price as that S13, you could get one of these, and I just searched in Ontario:

Then you could import it to the United States and register it as an S13 anyway.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's a good thing I'm not buying it then.

Morgan Plus 8 GTR. Silverstone 4 hour Enduro, 1996.

The aero changed a bit over the season it seems.

Is it true that there is a V12 version of E63 S? I found on wiki and it has near 700 HP

Nearest V12 Mercedes with "63" in its name I'm finding doesn't include an E and only developed 440hp. Brabus presumably has a bi-turbo V12 version of the E63 generating 850.

Thr wiki table is a mess it claims that it spends 20 liters per 100 km what the. I guess it's fake. No guessing actual fake!

Well I didn't find anything about it. Also consider wiki info is user-submitted.

Sbarro is a small Swiss high-performance replica and sports car company founded by Franco Sbarro in 1971.

 

[TheCracker]

^ Those are some of his saner looking creations

 

[AlvaroF]

I've heard of Sbarro but never seen his creations. What the bloody hell goes on in that head?

In all honesty, the blue one isn't half bad for what it is... The other however!

 

[Fastcarguy]

Unfortunately, most people know Sbarro because of this:
