Obscure Fun Cars

Diahatsu Cuore TR-XX

Its a 4wd turbo charged hatch back.

My tune (which I dont have access to as my disk drive is in 5 pieces) has out run a CTR yellow bird.

Also it kept up with a Lister Storm around Grand Valley. Plus if you buy a GT Auto spoiler it bolts it onto the pre-existing one, everyone knows two spoilers is double power.

I sure hope you aren't serious about this.

But the Lamborghini Aventador also gets a spoiler put on top of the spoiler. Weird.

I personally really like the Toyota GT 86 '12. Pretty cheap,and once you get some simple mods going it can get around 250 HP without spending over 10000 cr.

That's true. Would be a decent first car.

The most awesome biplane configuration is one of the RUFs though

Opera Performance S2000. Kills every RWD 450 PP car.

Nissan R390 GT1 road car? its a new one to me. Appeared in the UCD for just under 1 million, with 31km on odometer. :purchase:: It only goes 150 stock but a fine car on tracks that don't get that fast.

Can't have too many MR sports cars and a Japanese one is always welcome. AWD isn't really for me...

PD messed up the specs of the R390. It was supposed to have 550+ hp IIRC and a top speed at around 220 mph. It's still a fantastic car to drive. I put a stage 3 turbo and changed the gearing to get it as close as possible to the real world specs.

I thought the autobacs/ASL garaiya (road car) was pretty nimble. The specs suggest "lotus elise-like", but it felt a bit sluggish compared to the elise. I think with a bit of suspension and lsd work, it can be a fantastic car to drive.

Ford RS200

/thread this car is so awesome

C-ZETA
MAZDA LANTIS

You would not believe how few people even see this thing in the game at all. Overlook it at your peril though, because it is a top FF. I have 10 models alone of it in my garage, and 5 of them make up part of my tuning garage.

I think a few of the Celica ST gens count as a few of these. They're perfectly fine cars, yet you never see them ever. The KPGC110 and Amuse S2000 Street Version might well count for this as well.

Trust you to post the Lantis, Z.

This isn't too obscure, but it's not a premium so might as well put it.

Tommykaira ZZ-II. AWD, 550 HP, only 1000 KG, and you can get one for less than 60,000 credits. Beyond that, it goes like crazy due to the power, turns great because its lightweight, and since its AWD, it's really simple to drive.

Toyota MR-S/MR-2 Spyder. A little lacking for power, but it drives like it's glued to the road.

Any of the 3000GT's. Quickly becoming some of my favorite cars to drive,

You must have a good tune. I drove one stock around the 'Ring and it felt like it was fighting me the whole way. Not much fun at all.

For the 3000GT not to fight you so much, lighten it all the way, and use the torque sensing differential and set it to either 15/85 or 10/90. It works for me.
Also no TCS or ASM

Gotbeefboy564 · Nov 5, 2012

The Mazda 2 is a fun little car fully tuned handles good even though its FWD.

TCSTigersClaw · Nov 6, 2012

Seat Ibiza Cupra `04
and Peugeot 206 RC along with Ford Focus RS `02

Best FF cars in my opinion.

wiithepeople · Nov 7, 2012

'02 Autobacs Garaiya. That is all.

coop500 · Nov 7, 2012

seconded the Lotus Esprit 350, fantastic car from stock, handles like a dream, sound great and will take on cars with much higher PP

KinLM · Nov 7, 2012

The Honda fit. It's so.. Boring looking. But since it has just one gear, it's really weird to drive. Pretty fun though! I drive mine even though its pink.

eran0004 · Nov 8, 2012

I'm not just saying this because I'm from Sweden, but the Volvo S60 is a really good and fun car to drive in the 500 pp range! For some reason though, the interior view (the black mask) looks like it's from a touring car because there's a black stripe covering the top of the windscreen.

Izzyracer97 · Nov 9, 2012

if no one's said this yet Caterham 7 Fireblade

The Group B rally cars. Hilarious fun, and they all have massive acceleration.

Otherwise, the original Group B road cars (205 T16, that Renault, the RS200) they all have rather strange quirks. But are massively fun.

Rally cars are awesome! No one expects to see them and if you can tame the massive understeer they can be quite competitive even up to 600pp

Those Autobacs Garaiya cars, there's a street and a race version of it. They're absolutely glued to the road, put some soft racing tires on them and they make me grin every time.

Yeah I love those cars - I'm in a GT300 racing league and I'm using the Arta Garaiya '08 (Super GT).

I've taken a liking to the Isuzu 4200R Concept

I must agree that this is such a fun little car, with its buzzy V8.

I tuned the race car version and it handles like my hsv but with less understeer and oversteer
