7 Super Rare Supercars Of The '80s You Didn't Know Existed!

[@faampie]

WOW. That Lister Le Mans is absolutely gorgeous .

[@trenchtown69]

IDK dude. The Jaguar it was based on protrudes everywhere.

[@KenanTurkiye]

#7- Knew #6- Didn't know #5- Knew #4- Didn't know #3- Didn't know #2- Didn't know #1- Knew When I read the vid title I was up for the challange, but it turns out I weren't aware of 4 of the models, so good vid!

[@garethmccash5986]

That 924GTR is class 😍😍

[@jakobquick6875]

180mph❤gorgeous Followed by WTF is tht 180 mph “Cheese slice”😂 $300, 000……Swiss Franks 😂

[@kvge9627]

Thanks for sharing, I’ve haven’t heard of any of these cars till this vid. I was actually expecting more kit cars

[@bong4538]

When the first time I saw the Ferrari 408 4RM now I see how the Honda/Acura "NSX's got it's design.

[@kvge9627]

I think it looks a lot like the first gen toyota mr2

[@markyamaguchi9571]

The cars of the 80s were great!!

[@Dani-it5sy]

Imagine the stopped coming with all this new crap say somewhere in the early 2000 and purely focused on improving reliability. We would have still had fun cars that would last forever.

[@SANDSCORCHER]

The 450 SEAC has a Kevlar body, NOT fibreglass. The AC in SEAC stands for Aramid Construction.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Only two of those are cars I didn't know exist... KZbin has really filled the gaps in my rare car knowledge. Although, fair play because I usually know of all the cars on these "you didn't know" lists.

[@smgdfcmfah]

I'm only an amateur "car guy" compared to some of my friends, but thanks to my one buddy I read every car & driver and road & track magazine released in the 80s, so this was more of an "Oh yeah!" video than a "Never heard of it" video! Still, I don't specifically remember a couple of these - including the 924. I actually dated a girl briefly in the mid 80s whos dad had a 924 - but it wasn't this one (Canadian model). On an unrelated note, I dated another girls whos dad had a Bricklin and another whos dad had a Ferrari 308 (not quite super cars, but all pretty cool imho!). You'd think I chose these girls because of the cars, but honestly they were all hot and I only knew about one of the cars before I dated the girl. Never got a ride in the Ferrari, though (which sucked because I loved Magnum PI).

[@chesspiece81]

I didn't know an American pizza restaurant made cars in the 80s. Man cocaine is a helluva drug.

[@whyalwaysme2522]

Zender fact 4 is still so "fresh". Amazingly beautifully engineered in terms of equilibrium in design proportions ❤. Ghawd this list took me to a long forgotten memoirs 😂 lobe it.

[@milhouse147]

The Zender Fact 4 as a Spider is a blast!! Wow! How could this be, that this awesome car with that outstanding design + performance wasn´t a big hit?!

[@TheFunkhouser]

Love these videos! Thank you 🎉

[@bbnflpn]

These videos make me miss my 1987 VW GTI. Did not think that I would not want to restore a 8v A2 or a 1976 BMW 2002....................but.........................

[@fredschmitt456]

From what I remember, the Sbarro Challenge was built on the chassis of a VW Beetle

[@stephmaccormick3195]

8:34 Always loved cheap off the shelf parts bolted on super expensive exotics... like these Kadett and Polo rear lamps...

[@dingjs1969]

Good selection, unfortunately i am of the age where i remember most of these from the car magazines. Always loved the Lister LeMans especially as you could order it with a 7L V12 with twin superchargers and manual transmission! Sparro made both a VW Golf Mk1 fitted with a 911 turbo engine and a Mk2 with the 928 V8, made as a hatter!

[@xot80]

how you fited big boxer engine in Golf I? only in back and that has no sens

[@rogerpayne5336]

This is a very informative production sir , and the cars selected are some of my favourite's from the 80's. Loving the : Lister , Tvr , 924 gtr.....The Sbarro look's crazy as f even today.

[@marciocarvalho8975]

The red JAG. Finally a brit good looking car. Wrap it for me i will take it.

[@Lucerd127]

A Lister XJS, never seen any before. I know they exist. Last one looks like a Venturi.

[@eddie7167]

The SEACs were absolutely brutal, all that power in a fibreglass body.

[@christophecamus8410]

Great video thanks

[@trenchtown69]

Ok - I didn't know any of these. Kudos!

[@daneblack2593]

What no Callaway Corvettes

[@camperp195]

No,because they are SHIT

[@MoondogBongwater]

Everyone knows about the Calloway corvette. Atleast three of these cars I didn’t know about

[@mcgusto82]

@@MoondogBongwater yeah. I have to agree with you. Like the title says, these are really rare. Most were new to me.

[@marcmercedes2707]

Almost 1000 hp 😮 !

[@iamlpdo19]

It’s certainly a sick car but it’s pretty well known

[@trance9158]

The only 924s I liked.

[@whb3442]

The Porsche 924 GTR looks interesting and its 2 liter turbo 4 cylinder engine makes good power.

[@BoostWorx]

The lister lemans had a 7ltr twin supercharged engine capable of over 200mph its a real beast

[@zillsburyy1]

6:14 looks like a HONDA SNX

[@Beauloqs]

Not just rare, but super rare like like like like

[@darrentinonzii340]

ASTON looks like a subaru SVX

[@wyawn]

Was the Challenge sourced with a Porsche engine, or was it just a rebodied Porsche 911?

[@MeneGR]

8:20 because that's what the F40 is known for, the vertical tail lights...

Bellissime!!!!! sono tutte affascinanti, una più bella dell altra sarei in difficoltà a sceglierne una. ❤

[@CR-vu1rt]

The Sledgehammer Corvette was killer.

[@andyjohnson4767]

All the Lister Le mans cars were 7 litre The Ferrari 408 were only prototypes, not for sale The TVR SEAC were all carbon body, not fibreglass

[@notpoliticallycorrect1303]

SEAC's were not constructed from Carbon fibre.the 'AC' designates aramid construction,( nylon/polymers) meaning that they are basically plastic.

[@andyjohnson4767]

@@notpoliticallycorrect1303 didn’t say carbon fibre, I said carbon, which will not fully correct , it’s closer than you state, plastic, which it isn’t

[@notpoliticallycorrect1303]

@@andyjohnson4767 They ARE NOT carbon. As I stated The polymers used in their construction make them technically a plastic .

[@andyjohnson4767]

Sbarro: pizza car name, pizza car styling

[@invisiblekid99]

made it by a year, but I'd add the Vector W8. A car most only only saw in the film Rising Sun.

[@x_sean_x7]

I’ve seen a 924 gtr at a Porsche dealership in Houston

[@christophecamus8410]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@abbiecarter8831]

Ive gotta be honest i watch these sort of vidz an know all the cars but this one got me on 4 out of 7

[@orttauqru79]

i remember the fact 4 from zender, i painted a poster at scool ;-)

[@invisiblekid99]

The Zender rear has F40 vibes but also Audi Quattro too.

[@xot80]

what with BMW E30 333i pocket rocket made for racing in RSA

[@Pickchore]

Oh look. A Ferrari NSX. What an odd thing that car was.

[@antonibednarek1489]

That zender fact 4 has taillights from a Volkswagen Caddy mk1 Very nice zender 😂

[@snggarageeng]

What AI do you use ?

[@RareOldCarZ07]

[@pauljohnson-ih1xe]

The Lister is clearly nothing more than a re worked Jaguar XJS.

[@soyreeng8864]

Wow that ferrari looks like an Nsx

[@993isgawd]

Ahh the '80s; the 924 Carrera GTR was THE one car that I wish had been built in numbers for the road but alas, Porsche had other ideas...and also not a lot of budget to work with at the time. Well at least the world got the 944 and its offspring as an outgrowth from the program.

[@john91z]

The 450 SEAC looked like a modified Porsche 944.

[@needfoolthings]

6:20 The ugliest Ferrari and one of the ugliest cars of all time. Did not know this car.

[@kasperbech156]

There is no substitute 🇩🇪❤️

[@petesbeats4829]

Was hoping for an Isdera...

That clinches it! Rowen has owned AND CRASHED every car model ever made... #HisHobbyHurts

[@nippontoy99]

The words Jaguar and reliability don't fit in one sentence 😂

[@AlteredCarbons]

man, that challenge 3 LOOKS sooo cool and good looking... then you showed that white one.. and holy hell that was ugly lol and thats coming from someone who loves white cars, but white was not the color for this. and that first jag... boy o boy thats a good looking body. and that 944 is low key a car i would remake if i could afford it, but that will be never but at least it can live in my dreams rent free

[@MauroNigro]

tvr looks like the fiat x1/9

[@margaretbehler4935]

I started off strong with the Lister and Aston. Fell off after that.

[@alexsaam2696]

Anyone else noticed that the sender and the two British cars look almost the exact same with a boxy flat rear end and the knife edge front. Look as though they copied each other

[@bastiancooper-queen1849]

The Jaguar/Lister looks as a bad kit...."sorry", it's my view only.... Sorry, but FOR ME, it looks all cheap kits, except maybe the Porsche....

[@minnesotatomcat]

Mr Bean must not be much of a driver. I saw another video that said he’d wrecked another very expensive car too. 🤣

[@Eskes1]

A F1

[@j.a.l.m.8388]

Is this a video about the fastest most ugly cars?? 😂😂😂❤

[@eatsmylifeYT]

These are not real "supercars". The word wasn't even in popular use in the 80s.

[@harrypeter5654]

Ferrari 408 4RM, The NSX's ugly sibling.

[@marciocarvalho8975]

And then the rule... Horrible Aston Martin TVR etcetera....

[@greatloverofmusic1]

The reason most of these cars aren't remembered is because they look ridiculous.

[@TruthyToo]

These cars are all ugly. Most have cheap-looking body kits.

[@greatloverofmusic1]

You read my mind.

[@snd7622]

I known about all those cars very well.

[@xot80]

Zender Fact 4 from behind looks like AUDI S1 Group B monster not like ferrari

[@aaronkirsch4900]

defiantly some very unappealing designs back in the day compared to now... however the Porsche seemed to be a large improvement from the Stock units - and you can see the evolution of the 944 in the DNA - Im surprised the Gamballa series did not make it with a 930 ... or a Vector .. Someone call Clarkston !!

[@andyjohnson4767]

The Porsche was a race car, never designed for general road use, also homologated as a gp4 then a b race and rally car
