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

Never knew that this Pontiac existed, its called a Phoenix.

Pontiac version of the Chevy Citation IIRC.

Saw that on wikipedia when I was in class after I took the pic of it. Was gone when class was done.

 

[MadMike32]

I wonder if someone has made a kit car of that...

Imagine an Ariel Atom styled like that. Maybe I'm crazy (probably), but that would be kind of awesome.

Subaru Amadeus
An SVX shooting brake concept.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

RE Amemiya GReddy VI-AZ1

Original...

...and resprayed and rebuilt:

Er, hm.

It's a mutant Autozam built for the 1996 Tokyo Auto Salon. It has Ferrari F40 brakes (currently running some off an F50) and Porsche 962C transmission, diff and shocks.

This is officially the greatest car ever.

That's pretty damn cool.

It had a 20B from a Cosmo iirc.

1952-1956 Woodill Wildfire

Most of these were kit cars, so images may vary. Best image I could find.


Limited production (like most sports-cars of that era), fiberglass, Jeep-Willys engine, under 2000 pounds. Doesn't look half-bad, either.

 

[Slash]

That looks awesome.

 

[Dennisch]

I knew I've heard about that before. It was on Fast 'N Loud.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Apparantly, GM wasn't the only one who came up the EV-1 name:

^ Yeah, yeah, GM owns Saab. But who cares!? This should've been the Sonett 4!!!

 

[Badasp5.0]

AMG Galant

 

[Dennisch]

This one came before the Galant:

 

[Badasp5.0]

^what kind of car is that?

 

[Sage Ages]

Mitsubishi Debonair

 

[Pupik]

It's the 1987 Mitsubishi Debonair V 3000 Royal AMG.

Which is possibly the most pretensions model description of all time; AMG Hammu would have sufficed.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Mitsubishi Debonair

That is the only car to out "square" the Volvo 240.
I like it.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ The 740 is more square than the 240 IMHO...

Oh my.... Do want.

 

[niky]

AMG Galant

Pic quoted for awesome. Bespoke AMG engine and ECU gave this car 170 naturally aspirated horses, up from the 145 or so the regular Galant made. Not outrageously fast, but quick enough to be fun. And it's oh-so-rare nowadays...

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Mazda Familia/323 Sport 4. A Group B-like prototype!

👍

 

[Slash]

This what the Ford Capri was going to look like.

If Group B and A fused, and you add Group S, you got that, right? Seconded. That for GT6 please, plus the '92 rally car from GT2

 

[Tyger]

Ferrari 330 GTO, effectively a slightly stretched 250 GTO with a 4 litre engine and 400bhp. Just 3 made. How did I only just discover this? More info here

 

[GranTurismo916]

TRD Comfort GT-Z Supercharger:

 

[Sage Ages]

Supercharged taxi.

Only if I get my Escort RS Cosworth.

The world's most interesting Canadian car. I've known about it for years, but only just thought of posting it in the thread.
