My first ever nomination, the 89-91 (1st gen) Ford Taurus SHO.

jeremy-prine-ford-taurus-sho-turbo.jpg


Body Style: 4 Door Sedan
Engine: 3.0L Yamaha built V6 (known as the SHO V6)
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: FF
Power Output: 220 bhp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 6200 rpm and 200 lb·ft (271 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm at the flywheel

Also known as the Yamahammer, this sleeper ran with V8 Mustangs (if not beat them) and absolutely manhandled the V6 Mustangs of the same era. This car which was built by SVT came about because Ford had a contract with Yamaha to build a certain number of engines for them but the project (whatever it was) was scrapped by Ford but Ford had an obligation. So they had a stroke of genius and put the engines in the Ford Taurus. They had SVT build Tauruses with the new V6 and tune them. However when it was released for sale, the reception and sales was surprisingly good and Ford decided to continue building them. However, Mustang fans were not pleased that they were being hunted down by a grocery getter.

On a personal note, I had a chance to speak with a former SVT engineer who helped develop this car and he told me that Ford thought the car would flop so bad that they wanted to protect the name/brand/entity SVT. That's why it became known as SHO or Super High Output. So they didn't put SVT's name on the car. However after discovering such success and Americans' willingness to buy jumped up family sedans. They openly associated their next sleeper project with them. We know it as the Contour SVT.

Now that the Shark has run its course, it's time for another one:

1969-1974 Honda 1300 Coupe 7/9

Honda_1300_Coupe_large.jpg


Body Style: two-door coupe/fastback
Engine: 1.3 liter inline-4
Power Output: 100-116 hp
Transmission: 4-speed manual, optional automatic
Drivetrain: Front-transversal engine, front wheel drive.
Additional Information: The ultimate expression of Soichiro Honda's love for engineering, this thing had almost experimental solutions and features everywhwere. The engine had 4 carburetors, was dry sumped and air cooled, and had kind of a ram-air system in which the air was supplied by fans, and spun to 9k in every gear. Twin wiring for everything. FWD but with crossover swing rear axles which neutralized the usual FWD maladies and made it feel almost like a RWD. And that awesome split grille, which was inspired by Hoinda's own Pontiac Firebird. Sadly, it was a commercial failure and less than 50,000 were built.

1933 Dymaxion Car
View attachment 218071
Body Style: 4(?)-Door... Sedan Concept?
Engine: 3.6L Ford Flathead V8
Power Output: 85 hp
Transmission: Ford 3-speed transmission
Drivetrain: Rear Engine, Front Wheel Drive!
Additional Information: Project abandoned after it was involved in a accident at the 1933 World Fair, where it rolled over, killing the driver and seriously injuring two passengers. It also has a very, very tight turning radius, despite being 20 feet long, thanks to it's rear wheel steering. Out of the 3 made, only 1 exist, and 1 more was made to honor the car in 2010.

Okay, the game can wait. This is more important.

2006- Venturi Fétish
1599px-Venturi_F%C3%A9tish1.jpg
Body Style: 2-door convertible
Engine: electric motor
Power Output: 300 hp
Torque: 280 ft lbs
Weight: 1225 kg
Transmission: single speed
Drivetrain: MR
Other info: Yes, this is still in production. Under that name. And they want to make a new one. Called the Fétish 2.
 
How are we supposed to know what it is?
I figured they'd list it, like they do for other cars. If they don't, just say unknown
But that's not what displacement is... Or is it that you just don't want a car named after arguably strange sexual characteristics to end up on the cool wall? :lol:
I've got no problem with the name :lol:, I think it's funny
 
I figured they'd list it, like they do for other cars. If they don't, just say unknown

EVs don't have a displacement, as displacement is the volume of the cylinders (or combustion chamber in the case of rotary engines) in an internal combustion engine. No cylinders/chamber, no displacement.
 
To be slightly fair, you could put the battery size instead of engine displacement. 60kWh, 85kWh, etc instead of 2.4L I4, etc
