Now this is a sleeper! 315hp MR2 Turbo powered bug-eye Corolla!!


Really like that, with a more subtle exhaust it's an A+ sleeper

I must be getting old as i am really starting to appreciate the plain looking "sleepers" like this W8 passat currently for sale on ebay biggrin

The fact it doesn't shout about what it is like a passat r36 is part of it being so cool.
So what "sleeper" would you go for?.

That Passat is a cool car.

There is an estate version near me which unfortunately is on crappy aftermarket wheels, spoils it but easily fixed I suppose.

Haha i know it very well could do as i class this passat as one as it is understated but others may consider a debadged M5 as a "sleeper".

The one I actually bought.

Looks like a minicab. Goes a bit faster than that if required.

So little power for a 4.0. Maybe more asleep than sleeper.

This must score highly in this category, I would guess that 95% of people (the general public, not the ones on this forum) have no idea what it is and even fewer what engine it has.

Like hen's teeth though, not seen one for sale for months.

Odd that there are no photos of the interior.
