Cars they should have built

[daveco]

I give you the E46 M3 touring





500+ litres of luggage space! And...17mpg

[Fantuzzi]

Alfa Romeo 8c GTA.

Limited edition 50 or so, less weight (1350wet seems to considered low these days ) Get a nice 500 from that 4.7 V8, get Dallara to finish the car as Alfa should have done in the first place.

Also Maserati Granturismo short wheelbase, to rival the 911, 2 seats, that 4.7 howling with less weight and sharper chassis, that would be ace.

Abarth should have (and still should), do an elise esque track car, 655kgs 1.3 litre (as his history or although in reality it would be the turb0 1.4), 200bhp, hard as fk to get into, Stunning to drive.

Saw it at the motor show years ago.
Will never be able to afford one if they did make it, but I loved it.



(Will try and put up proper pictures later at home if I can, stupid work computer blocks most stuff).

I wish Jaguar had built an XK6.

How about the E92 M3 pickup in the background?

I seem to remember seeing an E36 pickup too.

There's also a lovely two door E34 M5 in that garage at M GmbH, amongst other amusing experiments.

If they did one with the 3.0 diesel V6 I'd have one on the drive.

It was the only one to hand that wasn't on some sort of motor show revolving pedestal, though it best shown doing a bit

[JDMDrifter]

A few wilcards:

Mercedes E63 Coupe and Maybe a Black Series

Porsche 991 911 Targa - Always had a soft spot for the targas

Ferrari 612xx - How amazing would that have been

Vauxhall Agila VXR

Ford KA ST/RS

Audi A2 - Maybe an S2 or RS2 with 1.8t and Quattro platform

[rolando]

Rover P6BS

[Dave Hedgehog]

i would have bought this



but its now gone from a light weight 5 pot quattro into some ugly hybrid toss thing


oh and all M cars as wagons

[Amirhussain]

Alfa Romeo 159 GTA

[kambites]

The Panamera estate thing. The hatchback is so good, yet so monumentally ugly... the estate would have made it one of the most desirable mainstream cars on the market, IMO.

[jimbobsimmonds]

Volvo C30 PCP...

[skyrover]

Land rover exploring replacement for defender in the 90's based on 100 inch range rover/discovery chassis and using fibreglass panels.





Not as nice as current defender, but still better than the godawful DC100 derived crap we are going to end up with
