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.

These mules were never offered for general sale. You're actually both correct!

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!

Here is a tier of brazilian sport cars that also should be in that list of slowest sport cars: Volkswagen Karman-Ghia, DKW Puma GT, Ford Maverick GT, Gurgel BR 500 and 800, Miura Sport, Chevrolet Opala SS, Hoffstetter, etc

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.

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.

@Oddman19806 жыл бұрын
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.

@lelandlewis72076 жыл бұрын
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.

I had a Sonett 3 in the early 2000's for a few years & it could go up to 180 kmh (admittedly according to its speedo) which I consider not too bad for an early 1970's car if compared to other cars of its day.

When i saw the capuccino and the helmets of the passengers was higher than the car i almost laugh. Nice video as always.
