Every superstar has a scrapbook with new hairstyles and bad suits without any reference to their later fame. This also applies to cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Car enthusiasts still talk in awe about the R32 Nissan GT-R from 1989. But the first examples from 20 years earlier were much less sexy. They were fast square trays, powered by a two-liter twin cam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The car that you had to give yourself, according to Ford, appeared in January 1969. Eight years earlier, there was also a Ford Capri, a coup\u00e9 version of the Consul Classic. It had too little power and was hardly sold between 1961 and 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems hardly conceivable: a Corvette C1 without the legendary V8 engine. Yet the first one in 1953 was only available with a very lazy power source and only two gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is probably due to the shapes inspired by a coke bottle that almost 100,000 Dodge Chargers have been sold. Because for its mechanically identical, but much less sexy predecessor, almost nobody got their hands on each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The F1 race car was not McLaren’s first attempt to make the fastest four-wheeled streetcar. Two M6 GTs appeared in 1970, but that was not until after the fatal crash of Bruce McLaren in Goodwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mitsubishi Lancer was put on the map between 1996-1999 by WRC champion Tommi M\u00e4kinen. It was already for sale in 1992, but apparently it lacked charisma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Golf from 1974 received the credits for the introduction of air-cooled front-wheel-drive cars. But the square K70 already had that. The sales figures for that model were disappointing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who doesn’t know the 106 and 306 Ralley’s. But what about the 205? England only received a 75 hp version. The competitive 100 hp GTi version was only available on the European mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a shock that Porsche was going to build SUVs. As if that wasn’t enough, a Panamera salon appeared, with the look of a 911. He was slaughtered, although the styling was much better than that of the almost identical 989 twenty years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renault’s budget model, the brilliant Duster SUV, actually deserves better than being named after a Romanian off-road model from the early 1980s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
