Here in Brazil, the SP2 is very expensive, almost $14.000,00 (or 42.000,00BRL) because is a iconic car and so much rare here. But doesn't matter if are a slow car, nothing can be compared with that boxer engine sound and this iconic design!

@@JoseSilva_ OK, let's go. First, there is an error in your information. Although there isn't much technical information in the Brazilian material published about it (most of it is just mambo jambo for the ignorant, which explains a lot), crossing with high level data available in German, I found that the VW SP , 1 and 2, is not based on the "Brasília" (which is not an original Brazilian engineering project, but just a project to redesign the body of the Beetle) but on the "Variant", which makes all the difference in having the old one as the base chassis of the "Typ 1" found on the Beetle and this new architecture from the German EA97 project (actually the base of the four-door VW 1600 known in Brazil as “Ze do Caixao” whatever that means!), with the significant importance of accommodating the new Variant/TL flat boxer engine applied to SP models. As for the second point, the similarity between the designs of the spectacular 928 and the SP is obviously just your opinion. I don't know what your training and repertoire is about design and automotive design in particular, mainly about history, but it seems that your impression is due to the fact that both have a rounded rear, the only possible common point, the rest are rereadings of the Italian and English “berlinettas” from the 50s and 60s as a lot of other sports cars, it has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, it has to do with knowledge and research.

I thought Visio said this in error too, but I went back and he used the term "body structure". A cursory look around found that Deloreans did indeed use a fiberglass underbody that was affixed to a double Y chassis derived from the Lotus Esprit. Interestingly, the same article (from Wikipedia) states that several hundred cars were produced with black fiberglass body panels and were used to train the assembly line workers. These mules were never offered for general sale. You're actually both correct!

Four years before Chevrolet introduced the Corvette, Crosley introduced their own sports car, the Hotshot. The car was absolutely tiny, built to be a true lightweight with no doors and a 724 cc engine mounted behind the front axle. It was slow even its day, at 20 seconds 0-60 mph, but made a name for itself in endurance racing at places like Sebring Int'l Raceway. One of these little cars lives at the Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum (in the classic cars section) in Ocala, Florida and is the only one I've ever seen. The real kicker was the introductery price of US $849.00. It's worth a google and a look!

Did a bunch of work on the engine but I am pretty sure I never got it above 75 hp (stock was 60). Real nice custom paint job, yellow with black accents. It looked great it sounded great and it handled like a charm. Neural steering, no body sway. I took it SCCA racing, just to be nice they didn't put me in C-Pro, they left me in C'-Mod .

Even so, SP2 is a beautiful car.

I'm from Brazil, where SP2 was drawn and made, and even here, is very difficult do find, and very expensive. My uncle had one, it feels like you are in a race car, amazing...until you start the engine. Then, is not so different from a Beetle, mainly because the smell of gas and lack of power.

I grew up in the muscle car seventies and had my share of them. They would go like hell but they didn't like to turn or stop. Now I have a 2000 MR2 Spyder with a whopping 120hp. It is by far the most fun car I've ever had. It is the polar opposite of a muscle car, it doesn't go like hell but it will definitely turn and stop. I'm also lucky to live in northeast Georgia at the foothills to the Appalachian mountains. Very fun to drive!

The Fiat X-19 DEFINITELY belongs on this list. Although it looked great and handled great it was ridiculously under-powered. In fact, I remember it was virtually impossible to pass slower cars on the highway because it might take you 15 seconds just to get by a single car, and lets face it, that’s a long time to be on the wrong side of the road. And if you are on even a slight upgrade you can just forget about passing altogether. In my RX-7 on the other hand I can pass a car in about 2 or 3 seconds even on a steep upgrade.

I read an article about the Fiat X/19 a few days ago. (Including stories by previous owners). That car was Not! designed to be a "muscle-sportscar" but more like one of those light & fun british sportscars that they had built (with great success) for decades. - And were really *fun* to drive. (I.e. -really different from the other boring family cars that were on the market).

Porsche 914! As a teenager one of my neighbors had this car. On a good day off work he’d make the engine scream as he drove down this country road that snaked alongside a canal. It’s not just about speed. It’s about the tactile feedback from the car (steering, gas, brakes, tires, & body) making the car an extension of your body. It becomes an experience and things like radios become a distraction.

Love the DeLorean, such a modern and futuristic design for early 1980's, especially the whole stainless-steel brushed bodywork and fibreglass-covering underbody beneath the double-Y shaped chassis frame. Initially the car was going to source its powertrain from PRV as stock, but due to emission restrictions the power was limited to 130HP, instead of the "meh" 150HP that the stock engine had before. Still, thanks to the "Back to the Future" Trilogy, after the company closed its doors the DMC-12 became a conspicuous icon, noteworthy even for non-car enthusiasts.

Like all cars, there's more to reliability than just the engine. Plenty of Fiero's hauled off to the bone yard with a still-functioning engine. Also, as was stated in the video... give the car to someone who doesn't take care of it, and it doesn't matter if it's an Iron Duke or B18, it's not going to last long.

The 2.5 had weak main bearing webs and wasn't meant for performance driving, it was taken from GM's front-drive economy cars. The 2.8 V6 used to throw a rod if abused too much or on heavy cornering if the oil was a bit low. Overall, though, the Fiero actually was quite reliable if maintained and driven properly. The Fiero wasn't released or marketed as a sports car, it was sold as an economical commuter car that looked sporty. They were originally built with Chevette front suspension parts and basically, a Citation front-wheel drive moved to the back; all of which made repairs inexpensive.
