I honestly have no idea how to do that. It's on the previous page somewhere.

I wanted to nominate ERA Mini Turbo, but then I found that there already was cool wall poll for 1959-2000 Minis. Even if I find the thread info very badly made since Cooper models were made only between 1961-1971 and 1991-2000, but there's no reason to focus on that.

I need to think about what I'm going to nominate.

5-door estate
Engine: 4.6 V8 naturally aspirated
Power Output: 260 hp

Additional Information: MG ZT-T 260 is wagon version of MG ZT 260. It has 4.6 liter V8 made by Ford also used in Mustang. The engine is slightly tuned by MG Rover chancing torque curve, but leaving horsepower as it is from Ford. To cope with 260 horsepower of the V8, FWD chassis of standard ZT got chanced to RWD one. Development involving Prodrive was delayed so planned 2002 release didn't happen until September 2003. Only 152 MG ZT-T 260 were built before MG Rover bankrupted in 2005. The only visible differences between standard ZT-T and 260 version are badging and quad-exhaust.​

The first car designed by Ercole Spada from Zagato, the DB4 GT Zagato is a lighten and improved version of the DB4 GT. 19 examples of 25 were produced before production ceased due to low demand. But in 1988, Aston Martin gave approval to make 4 more GT Zagatos using unused DB4 chassis and a more powerful 4.2L engine making the Sanction II which were completed in 1991. A year later, 2 more Zagatos under the Sanction III name was approved and completed in 2000.

1997-1998 Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car
nisb130121.jpg

From Wikipedia: The Nissan R390 GT1 was a mid-engined racing car built in Atsugi, Japan. It was designed primarily for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 and 1998. It was built to race under the grand tourer style rules, requiring a homologated road version to be built. Therefore, the R390 was built originally as production road car, then a racing version of the car was developed after. Only two R390 road cars were ever built- One was sold through a private auction, without any record, and the other one is stored at Nissan's Zama facility. The road car was capable of 220 mph, which initially surpassed the Jag XJ220 and RUF CTR2 in 1997, but was shortly superseded by the McLaren F1's 241 mph record in 1998.
