Hubs? Where we're going, we don't need wheel hubs.

I think that was the plan, Piraña is the Spanish/native spelling of Piranha.

Hillman Avenger Tiger, sportiest model of the Avenger. Had a peppy 110 horsepower engine and is excellent on the track.

The Avenger is older and a little larger overall. Mitsubishi may have been inspired though, they do look quite similar.

Mitsubishi had no relationship with the development of the Tiger, the fact that they look similar is purely coincidental.

The Japanese pretty much invented car design Xeroxing. So, coincidental? Not so much. Heavily inspired I'd say.

Wait wait wait... a Korean company naming a car DMZ? What?

I personally cannot wait for the Nuclear PowerPlant Missile edition; clearly there are people in Korea who badly want to evoque military ties related to their country...

Just wait for the Lada Vesta SNA (Slight Nuclear Accident).

I just can't wait until this thread moves along, so in that spirit...
I went ahead and did a search for "cars you've never heard of" and was astonished to find none (that would normally actually interest me, anyway, as there were plenty of supercars that likely never saw noteworthy production), so here's one that a good number here are likely unfamiliar with, and one that more than simply interests me--the 1952-4 Goliath GP700 Sport by Rometsch. Built by Goliath, a subsidiary of Borgward, and skinned by Karosserie Friedrich Rometsch (this is largely why I'm aware of it), it featured an 845cc 2-stroke twin driving the front wheels.

Thomas Meade customized Ferrari 250 GT/L. At the time, Meade was the go-to broker for Ferrari sales to America. On occasion, he asked Ferrari to make slight changes for a series of one-offs.

I've found the real life Demio A-spec as it appears in PS1 GT games, as well as the RM:

I didn't know that Vanden Plas was a distinct coachbuilder; I thought it had always been the name for the top Leyland Motors trim level. But they had indeed been an independent builder of automobile bodywork from that time where two cars of the same model could look quite different.
Bentley 6 1/2 Litre Tourer Vanden Plas
Nor did I know that the Vanden Plas trim level wasn't only applied to top-of-the-line Rover SD1s, 800s and 75s.
Austin Allegro Vanden Plas
Austin Montego Vanen Plas
This Montego image was sourced from an old classified sales thread and it was going for a snip at £595!
