Never knew that this Pontiac existed, its called a Phoenix.

 
Saw that on wikipedia when I was in class after I took the pic of it. Was gone when class was done.

Er, hm.

It's a mutant Autozam built for the 1996 Tokyo Auto Salon. It has Ferrari F40 brakes (currently running some off an F50) and Porsche 962C transmission, diff and shocks.

This is officially the greatest car ever.

1952-1956 Woodill Wildfire

1953-woodill-wildfire-1.jpg

Most of these were kit cars, so images may vary. Best image I could find.


Limited production (like most sports-cars of that era), fiberglass, Jeep-Willys engine, under 2000 pounds. Doesn't look half-bad, either.
 
That looks awesome.
 
I knew I've heard about that before. It was on Fast 'N Loud.
 
-> Apparantly, GM wasn't the only one who came up the EV-1 name:

^ Yeah, yeah, GM owns Saab. But who cares!? This should've been the Sonett 4!!! :(
 
This one came before the Galant:

It's the 1987 Mitsubishi Debonair V 3000 Royal AMG.

Which is possibly the most pretensions model description of all time; AMG Hammu would have sufficed.
 
^ The 740 is more square than the 240 IMHO...
 
Oh my.... Do want.

Pic quoted for awesome. Bespoke AMG engine and ECU gave this car 170 naturally aspirated horses, up from the 145 or so the regular Galant made. Not outrageously fast, but quick enough to be fun. And it's oh-so-rare nowadays...

If Group B and A fused, and you add Group S, you got that, right? Seconded. That for GT6 please, plus the '92 rally car from GT2 :D
 
Ferrari 330 GTO, effectively a slightly stretched 250 GTO with a 4 litre engine and 400bhp. Just 3 made. How did I only just discover this? More info here
