A challenge.

More than 4 cylinders. Forced induction, preferably turbo.

Not front wheel drive (sorry)

Four wheel drive ok..

Number of seats unimportant.

Manual gearbox.

And the kicker.. sub 5k..

Can it be done?

All I can think of is 300zx and possibly pre-modded fox body mustang or firebird?

Volvo XC90
4wd
5 cylinders
Turbo charged
Less than 5k
Manual transmission
7, yes, 7 seats.
3 on autotrader

And I am pretty sure of no interest to the OP at all, but it does tick all of his stated boxes

I will now try to think of a serious suggestion....

Technically it does. And indeed it is of no interest!

No diesil, should have stated that?

Already have a 944. Non turbo though.

I guess there's there x300 xjr, I'm sure that they made a couple of manuals, literally only a couple though.

Is there an audi I'm missing? Sub s2..?

Best I can come up with are old supercharged jags. S-type R and XJR

Kompressor Mercs could be an option, but I think they are all 4 cylinder.

Sure smarter people will be along shortly...

Pretty sure the old coupe Quattro had a 5 cylinder engine (as did original quattro)

Finding one might be challenging and I am not sure if they would be "classics"now with prices to match!

Yes, failing the four cyl test like the RX8 unless you can get one where a RV8 or chevvy had been dropped in.

For sub 5 grand? And not broken, or about to be? A friend tried to find one earlier this year, with a bigger budget, and gave up!

But beyond your budget even with Mike Breweresque haggling!
