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

[Clark]

They never made a V8 Passat, only W8.

 

[Legro]

Only knew of a V8.

Which never existed.

 

[The87Dodge]

I can never get things right here. Ever.

 

[Clark]

IWe're not having a go at you, but we're all here to learn.

I've seen a W8 before and it made a nice noise

 

[The87Dodge]

Apparently, there was also a W8 wagon.

I was searching up Ruf cars and I found out about this thing. The 1975 Porsche Ruf Carrera RS.

Didn't know that there was a Torino cobra

I do not know if this was posted here but :

Ferrari 365P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti.

Only 2 build. 380 hp 4.4L V12 in the middle.

And from now on for me the prettiest Ferrari ever build.

And.

Driver sits in the middle, since it was intended to go do silly stuff on Le Mans.

Now there is a Ferrari I have never heard of, and one with one of the most interesting designs I've ever seen for a Ferrari. The middle driving position, the V12 engine... The whole package is incredible, to be honest. It looks like a Berlinetta Boxer from the rear, and like a classic 1960's Ferrari from the front. Great find. 👍

 

[Tornado]

See? Back then Ferrari would put the V12 in the baby Ferrari. Clapton gave them 5 million dollars to make his 458 look like a 512BB and they still wouldn't put the big engine in it for him.

It's not a car. It's not even an official concept. It's a dodgy rendering.

While visiting the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena I saw something regarding this very car, the wooden structure that was used to build the body:

It was really nice to see something like this still displayed and not being destroyed.

There was also this beauty:

1951 Ferrari 212 Export Fontana, built on a 166 chassis but powered by a 212 type engine it participated on a few Mille Miglia races and won the Coppa della Toscana.

I'm assuming it's a Ford?

Model T from 1912 I think.

I wasn't aware of the Subaru Vivo, a 4WD Kei car, but it's not that interesting. The interesting bit was Subaru's decision to enter 3 Vivos in the 1993 Safari Rally, one of which was driven by Colin McRae. Despite it being a rally kei car, he was in 3rd place overall when the suspension broke, ultimately leading to retirement:

-> The Subie Vivio was a minor player in GT2 back in the day. But the Vivio got infamous when it was featured in the anime Lucky Star:

 

[R5]

Wrong, because:

a 4WD Kei car

They're always interesting and cool no matter what.

This just seals the deal.

While the car clearly isn't real, the image certainly isn't a rendering which deserves the description of 'dodgy'. I think it looks great.

 

[R5]

No, I'm pretty sure it is.

A long time ago rumors surfaced of a Ferrari SUV. But they died off pretty quickly as Ferrari presented the FF. But those rumors were true:
The Ferrari F151, designed by Giugiaro:

Thank god they went with the FF instead.

 

[CSMDuty11]

That looks like something Saleen would have built.

 

[Liquid]

They look more like FF prototypes. An SUV would surely have four doors.

 

[R5]

Yeah, I think it's a Ferrari FF styling buck with click-bait "FERRARI SUV CONFIRMED" headline.

 

[Ferraridriver27]

Well, I read it on evo, the article is in italian though.

 

[RocZX]

Well, I read it on evo, the article is in italian though.

They are wrong, the pics were first posted a few days on motori.corriere.it.
They said that it was design study by Giugiaro for the FF and the F151 is the codename for the FF.
