[@MrWombatty]

That was my 1st thought, just disappointed that this variant of the VW Type3 never made it to Australia! Much better styling than the popular Ghia!

[@phillipgrock5186]

Actually, the engine made for SP2 was already more powerful than others aircooled regular VW engines. SP2's is a 1.7 litre, and the other engines, 1.6. The engineers was about to create a new car, SP3, with front engine, watercooled and 1.8 litre, but SP2 came from the same thought which gave birth to Beetle, a thought from the 1930's, boxer, rear engine and aircooled, VW made up her mind, that was time to go ahead. Even so, SP2 is a beautiful car.

[@michaelwilkening8542]

You can make a bug run low 10s with the right mods. Low tens out of a naturally aspirated motor is something to be very proud of.

[@LordMekanicus]

And I have had problems catching race prepped gt category 914's in the corners with an AS category Camaro. They can be quite fast with the right stuff.

[@brentboswell1294]

The Fiero wasn't so bad with the 3.1 v6 (like the GT model you show later). The base model, with the 2.5 liter Iron Duke engine, was a turd

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

The Iron Duke engine is a Category 5 POS.

[@octane613]

The iron duke was awful in every way, I don't know why gm put it in EVERYTHING. The only thing it was good at was not dying. I had an old s-10 with an iron duke and the truck just fell apart around that boat anchor of an engine but it started first crank, every time.

[@XLordLeamingtonX]

True, the dopes at GM were so afraid this car would hurt Corvette sales they stuck it with the crappy Iron Duke and awful Chevette suspension components. The last year manufacture Fiero GT was a really good car, but by that point they had ruined its name in the market. Just like they did with the Vega, Citation, etc. I read John DeLorean's book about GM, was really insightful regarding their bureaucracy, inefficiency and stupid politics.

[@NotAnybodyElse]

It was never produced with the 3.1, unfortunately.

[@XLordLeamingtonX]

Right, the V6 was the 2.8. That was still a decent engine

[@Markos681]

Congratulations for the videos!!! The Fiat in the video at 8:53 was not a Abarth 695 (Fat 500 base model) Two Cylinders, was a Abarth 850 TC (Fiat 600 base model) Four Cylinders.

[@AdamAdamHDL]

Love the vw sp2. Handsome looking car. Your Mazda rx3 write up is labelled as vw sp2. It's early enough to remove the video. Edit the error and reupload

[@lelohb]

The SP2 is cosideraded the most beautiful volkwagen car. If it were not for the weak engine, it would be an incredible car even today.

[@Berchol]

SP2, the masterpiece from the hands of Márcio Piancastelli

[@TheKaappari]

Karmann Ghia is a bit better looking. From another era though.

[@Berchol]

The thumbnail shows the Puma, which was another brazilian sportscar from a smaller manufacturer, based on VW boxer mechanics, and also a beautiful one. Its success was the inspiration for VW to produce a sports model of its own.

2:05 Every 18 year old Honda driver at 3 a.m. in my neighborhood. I really love those little cars shown here. I bet they are really fun to drive.

[@apexseal2811]

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.

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

More of that, a lot of people complaining about PRV engine as worst ever v6 could be possible for such modern car... But they forgot or didn't knew what this engine well known for excellent race history: it was using in rally for Alpine A310 and exactly this engine hold LeMan's speed record even for today.

[@marsgal42]

Do every corner around town as a full-power four-wheel drift, scraping the door handles, and be in no danger of getting a speeding ticket. :-) I've always lusted after the SP2.

[@phillipgrock5186]

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.

[@budman9327]

That's why I drive a Fiat 500c Abarth. :-D Had a 2006 Pontiac GTO that was boring as all hell.

[@Patchuchan]

The RX-3 isn't that slow for a small car from the 1970s and that Honda S800 sounds pretty awesome for only having 71 hp. On the Fiero the V6 ones had ok performance but if you swap in a supercharged 3800 V6 or a 5.3 V8 into one they're anything but slow.

[@roberttucker7963]

Or the Australian 3.6 litre Alloytec V6

[@christianjensen3182]

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!

[@wopalongcassidy]

Hey Visio...my first car was an RX2. Posi traction..4 barrel. Super high reving. maxed it out at 135 racing a 78Supra. Very fun car.

[@mpetersen6]

You missed the Fiat 850 Spyder. That VW from Brazil actually looks pretty decent

[@SLOBeachboy]

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.

[@karlbark]

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).

The Fiero Fastback with the 2.8 would do 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds which wasn’t too bad at the time.

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.

[@Oddman1980]

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.

[@FrightfulAccountant]

American manufactorers usually make very reliable engines. It is in all the other departments they make a disaster out of it...

[@lelandlewis7207]

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.

[@katinabelezos849]

It was called the GM Iron Duke. it was an Iron Block

in Japan, the Cappuccino is called "the AE86 Killer" due mainly to its speed pass in a curve that is superior for its short base and low weight, in the togue races it easily wins to consummate cars in circuits with many curves, but because of its small engine it doesn´t have much maximum speed and doesn´t it recover quickly lost speed

OMG that Honda S800 sound!😍

[@deividasradziunas7090]

VW SP2 looks EPIC. It don't need to be fast.

[@ExiledPiasa]

Forgot the FIAT 124 Spyder. Family owned 2 of them and loved wheeling those things

[@but531]

Generally they are beautiful cars and also they sound much much better than the today cars, listen the sound of these cars they sound very sporty. I think i like all of them. The Suzuki capuccino is cute reminds me the Mx-5 in a much smaller version, also the Abarth ss is nice looking small car. When i saw the capuccino and the helmets of the passengers was higher than the car i almost laugh. Nice video as always.

I had a 1979 VW Scricco. Junk but fun!

[@tedecker3792]

I had an MG midget series 1, with 41 horsepower. It was at the same time my motorcycle (Kawasaki Z1) had 82hp.

[@jdrancho1864]

The 914 at 02:20 certainly was no sports car (at all), but it was actually a decent commuter car. With the mid-engine layout you could load stuff as long as you split it up between the trunk and the frunk. The fuel-injected VW engine was good on gas, plus the fifth gear, larger fuel tank and light weight of the car gave you enormous range. With air=cooling you didn't have to worry about hoses, belts and radiator=related issues. The only thing that made servicing a specialty job were the valves that to be adjusted as part of regular maintenance.

[@jeno0077]

That's Ed Ferri in the Delorean, buddy and owner of Planet BMX. That car is absolutely the best example of one.

[@jamieforrester4814]

I daily my base model Fiero with a slush box up and down six steep, long grades five days a week and it actually does quite well. The only real problem is the crappy engine and transmission mounts which let the engine rock back and forth under high load.

[@seed_drill7135]

Your list doesn’t seem to go back past 1970, but the US had a trio of very slow sports cars in the early 50’s, the original six cylinder Corvette, the Kaiser Darrin and the Crosley Hot Shot.

[@barrycooper9451]

Me and my mates found if you bought a ten year old fast car it was much quicker than a new fast car. Because you could afford to write off a ten year old fast car whereas new car owners treat them with velvet gloves. Also you could ram the new car with your old car to discourage them! 🤣

[@nolesy34]

Why not Buy new car but fit it with pieces of the old car outside SOLVED

[@CaptHollister]

Pronunciation tip of the day. Day-LO-ree-ann. With the emphasis on the second syllable and the third and fourth syllable separated.

[@firsttimer2254]

I've watched only half the video and am convinced that these are all very stylish, small-lightweight vehicles whIch are probably fun to drive and maintain for those with the enthusiasm and wherewithal. They weren't ever intended to race high-end Ferraris or threaten the current title holder of world's fastest production car.

[@valterviveiros9041]

SP2 is beautiful deserves a powerful engine !

[@ahojkiservuski8304]

I dont care if they were slow. Just look at their awesome looks especaly in the interiors!!! Awesome cars. BTW skids in capucino must be awesome :D

[@larsinator7]

Other people: Slow sportscars are so lame. Me: I will take one of each please

[@RANDOMNATION907]

I had a 1978 Mustang II Ghia, w/a 2.3l four cyl and an automatic transmission. I had to pin the pedal to the floor to reach 75mph!!! ..... it's a Mustang!!!

[@golf1diesel]

haha,now that's slow.My N/A Golf mk1 diesel was faster.

[@kpal2946]

The Honda S800 sounds so good!

[@yungfishe]

4:12 The body panels were made from stainless steel but some of the underneath parts were fiberglass. The frame was constructed from steel.

[@RafaelFerraz4979]

i mean, the SP2 does look kinda nice

[@oscarzt1652]

might only have 50 horsepower but that S800 sounds fantastic

[@rosewood1]

Nevertheless some truely iconic cars. The MX3 started the legend the S800 was pure extraordinary sound and the MG was stunning pretty and pretty reasonable to drive. And many of these little cars actually handles pretty well. And a sports car is all about the drive!

[@BMPellogia]

I'm brazilian and i can tell..Vw did everything they could with what they had at the time.The import restrictions limited ALOT our car development but allowed us to have unique cars like the SP2 and the only aircooled FWD Vw,the gol. Just a note:VW did the SP1 First wich had a 1.6 boxer(65HP) and the all steel body didn't helped with the weight situation,and,of course didnt sell well(nowdays is a extremely rare version)but made the SP 2 possible.

[@LordTwaddle]

Surprised you didn’t put the Smart Roadster on this list, even in fully tuned Brabus form they only could manage 0-100kph in 9.5s and top out at least than 120mph.

[@milesarcher8502]

The DeLorean was made with a stainless steel body, not fiberglass. Very few auto body shops were able to deal with that. My own favorite, for what it's worth, is the SP-2! To have a car that's as simple and reliable as a VW 411, but looks that good, is a great combination. There WAS an SP-1 with an even smaller engine. they decided to NOT market that version.

[@spicyboidotjpeg8589]

2:04 Honda Civics at 3 am

[@ManiacRacing]

Who cares how fast that S800 really was? It SOUNDS like its going 300mph! Such a glorious noise!

[@fougamagister8862]

it could be 10 of the cars I like most, great cars featured here.

[@victor_figueiredo_4100]

In Brazil, we put a Subaru engine in the sp2 and problem solved

[@nolesy34]

I like your thinking now do something with •GMC delorean •Nissan 240z •Alfa Romeo •Nissan Sunny •Nissan EXA •Hyundai Veloster •Mitsubishi GTO •Skyline r30

[@jakefinnegan1932]

Hey, that Cappucino almost beat Takumi

[@trobbelke]

Great video! I love the Honda S800 and Porsche 914 most

[@apexseal2811]

1965 Fiat 500D Specs: Layout: Rear engine - RWD Displacement: 499cc Power: 22HP Torque: 35.5 Nm Curb weight: 500kg 0-60mph: Never reaches

[@652T4V0]

The good thing about a underpowered sports car is that you can always get 100% of it, fun factor is a must

[@isakjohansson7134]

Great video as always It would be interesting with a video about automatic transmission motorcycles next

[@davidvincent2758]

The Abarth is a beast 😈

[@RenanBorges96]

'Sup Visio. Great Brazilian accent though!! I love your videos m8
