straight 4, 1.1 litre fiat engine

vignale abarth 205 monza



flat 6 porsche, pick your capacity and era but a 2.7 screamer in R or ST format would do it for me.



fiat ottu vu, always loved the idea of a small capacity v8



ferrari columbo v12, accept no subsitute

[fourwheelsteer]

Might not be a classic but I can't think of a four-cylinder 2-door coupé that I like more than this one.




How about something with five cylinders?




I want to spend more time with the Jaguar E-type in six-cylinder guise




Less racer and more cruiser - a slightly different take on how to do a coupé in the shape of the Chrysler 300D




Finally, having meandered around the world, we arrive in Italy for a 12-cylinder car: the Ferrari 275 GTB

[RichB]

Interesting one this so here goes - theme British sports cars:

4 - MGA Twin Cam



6 - Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato



8 - TVR Griffith



12 - Lagonda V12 Le Mans

I bought this recently and have become absolutely obsessed with it. So much so that my X308 project and 1970 challenger are suffering
6 cylinders! M 635 CSi- what an engine- even with standard intake and exhaust this thing growls and snarls!



V8 would have to be this:


4 cylinder:

Would have to be an Alfa Sud for me!

And V12:

Jaguar XJC V12!!

2, well you'd have to go for 2 wheel too then, surely. :-)
4, Either you have to go pre-war and Bentley or I'd agree on the MGA TC - I like Dolly Sprints too.
6, Its got to have an XK engine in then surely. Although the AJ16 is pretty good too, but I still don't see my XJ6 as being a classic car. Its my new one :-)
8, 8's are a poor man's excuse for not building a proper engine where cylinders come in 6s! (TVRs sound nice though, so perhaps one with a well tuned Rover lump)
8, OK, I'll take it seriously. a V600. Live in the middle of your own personal earth quake.
12, XJ13

5, there is only one 5 isn't there, the quattro, nothing else counts here.
