Had no idea these existed til I found a mod for GT Legends with this monster of a car!
Lancia Stratos Group 5 Turbo
This isn't so much a car I never heard of but more what I didn't know about it.
A Hyundai MPV designed by Pininfarina
Yeah, Lancia did quite a lot of Gr.5 cars back in the day, and they're all monsters.
Also, that Hyundai MPV is the Matrix, a rather mundane car that just happened to bear the Pininfarina name. It's not his finest design, it has to be said.

The Lancia is pure nuts and that Hyundai just looked like a plain Hyundai MPV. For some reason the name Elantra came to mind (Even though that's a 4 door sedan). Only found out it was designed by Pininfarina as I saw one with the Pininfarina badge on it the other day.

Yeah, the Matrix does look quite normal, bland even. Not a great design, really.
Also, the Peugot bit (which I actually deleted), it's not a GTI, but rather a SRI; a sporty wagon...

They have Pininfarina badges above the rear wheel arches. You can faintly see it up and to the left of the petrol cap. Yes, the Hyundai Matrix. More V than MPV unless it has another function other than a skip on wheels, which is how we treated ours for many years; not enough storage space in the house meant it was always full of junk. Including the engine.

^ I'm not liking the wheels & step-board on the Reaper, it looks too tacky!

I just found out that there was a time in the late 1980's when AMG and Mitsubishi teamed up to make the AMG Galant. Unfortunately, it is an ugly mess and sales were horrible.

There was also a Mitsubishi Debonair AMG. So ugly...
Aw man, it's a pity that a AMG-tuned Mitsu has to look so... awkward. The Debonair manages to look even less cohesive than the Galant, and what is wrong with those wheels? Did AMG forget to get better ones, or was that a quick-fix? I say it's a pity because I'm sure that the perfomance of both models was probably improved over the stock versions...

The Galant doesn't look too bad, but doesn't beat the VR-4. I don't even know what they were thinking when it came to the Debonair.

The Debonair AMG was basically just a body kit. No major engine changes.

Well, that's tremendously dissapointing. So it's just a Debonair with a rather tacky bodykit, and some generic rims. That's hardly impressive, no?

Totally. It looks like a car bound for the junkyard.

Mind sharing specs? I want to know how much horsepower the AMG engine could crank out.There was also a Mitsubishi Debonair AMG. So ugly...

That is just sad. AMG producing only 200 horsepower?
Anyhow, here is a car I just found out about while searching a Japanese car site.
It is the Toyota Duet. All it really is is just a rebadged Daihatsu Storia.

They didn't touch the engine, that was Mitsubishi's doing. I think early C36 AMGs only had about 230hp, but that was the 90s.

So AMG only did the styling, right? Still, I expect more from AMG. Not as stylish as their Mercedes Benz Cars.

They did some weird things in the 80s. Zebra interior!

"Classed up" with some out-of-place chrome trim...so tacky. I have to confess I'm liking the front end redesign in that last image, though. (And I have a soft spot for keis.)
Oh and that Silverado Reaper makes me want to rip out my eyes and stuff them in my ears, because I can somehow hear how ugly it is--not entirely unlike something smelling so bad that you can taste it.

An oficially-made Sierra with a V8 engine? That's pretty impressive, never thought it was possible to do that to a Sierra. Imagine if the Cosworth had a V8...
