Qvale Mangusta. 284 produced from 2000 to 2002. Quite frankly I'm glad you don't see these on the road very often because they're freakishly ugly to me. I did see one at a car show once, and the interior isn't much better.

Those things are actually kind of cool. A guy who lives 5 minutes from me has a yellow one that is always sitting in his driveway.Qvale Mangusta. 284 produced from 2000 to 2002.

We all know the 90 IMSA GTO but what about the S4?

Sadly, I discovered this:
A Peugeot 206 Wagon. Yup. Whilst watching a BlackPanthaa video...
Don't mind it actually.

My adventures in a FB car group recently brought my attention to this;
The Toyota Origin. Another member in the long line of "1990-Noughties JDM cars that want to go back in time to the Sixties", and you can tell that's what the Origin wanted when Toyota released it... Around 1,000 were made, with a price tag of SEVEN MILLION YEN (good grief), sold as an hommage to the Toyopet Crown.
Oh, and it also featured a 2JZ-GE engine, so if you're on the lookout for one of those for your tuner project... I guess you could start here?

-> Speaking of Retro-Styled cars, here is another one that I stumbled!
-> Remember Autech? Yeah, one of Nissan's tuning arm developed a couple of Zagato cars and a 4-door R33 GT-R right!? Well, I've found a 3rd car!
Autech A-10 Sports "Nostalgic Sports Sedan" '96
^ This box is based on the S14 Silvia, with a non-turbo SR20 2.0L I4 with 180hp AND RWD a 5-speed MT!! I quite like it, imagine a sleeper sedan!!!
-> Unfortunately, this wonderful car is only a one-off prototype.
=============================
-> And another treat from Autech, a 4th car!!!
Autech [K11] MID-11 '03
Here's a rough link (JDM)
^ This mid-engined isn't as extreme as the Clio V6, the Festiva SHOgun, the Aygo Crazy, nor Nissan's own Micra 350SR. But it was powered by the SR20VE with 204hp & 6MT.
-> And the best part? It's street legal!!! The worst part, like the A-10 above...it's only a prototype.

Doesn't know whether to be nostalgic about a 1960's Alfa Giulia or a Lamborghini LM002

Toyota 222d. Quite an odd looking car. Underneath, it's actually a heavily modified, 4WD gen 1 MR2. Makes an absurd 750hp. Was meant to be for group B but group B was cancelled before this thing was ready.
Nissan Micra Super Turbo. Look how cool and futuristic that grille looks, even today. Not an especially quick car with only 108hp, but with it's small body and light weight, this thing is basically a Japanese Mini Cooper, i.e a Mini Cooper built well. This seems like a car that I stand a chance of owning in my life which is cool.
This might look like just another BMW E30, but this one is kind of special. This is the 325iX; a 4WD E30! It's not particularly amazing, but I can't help but think of the potential it had, I mean, Imagine if they used an M42 engine from the 318i at the time, and turbocharged it, considering that these were still built when the early Mitsubishi Evo's and Impreza's appeared on the market and dominated the WRC. I'm sure someone out there must have modded an E30 like that.

I never realized how many Chinese specific VWs there are.
VW Bora
VW Santana
VW Lavida
They're all very generic looking though.

Toyota released another retro styled limited production car alongside the Origin called the 'Classic', which was based on a Hilux. It's styled after the Toyota AA of the late 30s early 40s. Only 100 produced which cost about $75K USD.
They actually have one at the Toyota USA museum! Saw this in 2013.

Well would you look at that... An Hilux would be just about the last choice I would go for if I wanted a base for my 1930's hommage car, but those were weirder times at Toyotaland. It's as if a Chrysler PT Cruiser and a Chevrolet HHR got together to make one large-sized child to carry on their retro legacy!

I don't know what to be shocked of the most, the fact that someone hacked up a car they didn't make 100 of, or that it looks really good.

I love these things so much. Almost anything with a twincharged engine is pretty awesome in my book.
