MG ZT V8

Take a traverse engined FWD car and stick in a rear drive V8:

If you're talking MG, then the MG XPower SV-R surely trumps this!

Saw a silver one if these driving through Norwich last week sounded good looked errrrrm st!

Just looked in how many left about 10 were ever made so a rare thing indeed!

Renault Twingo? Rear engined small hot hatch. Certainly something different in today's market.



Loads of mad JDM cars and vans although probably quite normal in Japan. Nissan Cube, Mazda Autozam, Nissan Elgrand etc.

VWs latest ID range also looks to be quite insane.

I think you'll find a Smart is a Renault in a different dress!

Yes that

Considering the utter dogst that Chrysler made at the time (and make now) it was pretty remarkable that they made that, and the Viper.

They made up for it with the PT Cruiser, the paedophiles chariot of choice since 2001.

I did read someone describe Nissan as "The Japanese Chrysler" recently which made me laugh.

The PT Cruiser made sense from a business standpoint. It was designed to count as a light truck for the purposes of US fuel economy standards.

Back on thread topic, Moskvich made this in the 50s:
