Best Classic European Sports Car

[DasguteOhr]

Shamal is a beast. Really beautiful There are very few in Thailand. ddk used to own one when he lived here. They are headache to live with though. The 3.0 CSI that @DasguteOhr posted is another car I want to restore. The proportion is beautiful like my Daimler Sovereign Coupe.

more original with alpina parts than bbs wheels. Both look beautiful, a matter of taste. in this condition if someone sells it 90000-140000€. 6 cylinder sound is beguiling at 6500rpm.

I have never seen this Alfa before. The eyes look like the Dodge Challenger a bit.

I test drove one once...not even close to the performance of my old Maserati 430 4V or my Lotus Europa S. Beautiful for sure but not a great drive.

Sure ist not for racetrack, its emotion and sound for drive in the summer. For racetrack bmw 2002 tii with group 2 body kit and suspension.even modern cars have worse driving results on the nürburgring trust me.



P.S checkout google bavarian outlaw site amazing.
Sorry i change the picture not correct

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale. The most beautiful of all. Detuned Tipo 33 race car. 2 liter V8. Imagine the size of the pistons. Twin spark ignition.

I agree. How many of the 18 Stradales and prototypes are still around? Love to see one in person one day.

I heard someone mention recently that if one came to market it was expected to break records for the most expensive car sold, they're that rare to market. Then Merc sold their 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, bets are now off!

Hi all, here's mine - the one that got away!!! The Dino 246-GTS was coined "the working mans Ferrari" and named after Enzo's son Dino.

I owned one in the early 2000s while living in Boulder, CO. I'm missing those mountain pass drives with my wife, Deb and the massive appreciation in the model since I sold it. Still, I had the privilege of owning my dream car for which I am forever grateful!

Owners of these cars (who actually drive them) are lucky. If I owned many of these cars it would be for investment purposes only as I can't physically fit in them!

every motorsports enthusiast boy or man wants to drive an audi sport quattro in their lifetime. is not for sale and when more than 500000€. now there is the opportunity to purchase a replica that was assembled very faithfully to the original with the help of walter röhrl. signed by the greatest racer of all time.

Can u imagine the turbo lag on the Audi....

The 246GTS was my dream car. Purchased in 1982, it was my weekday drive to work car and my weekend drive on the track car. I had it 10 years and literally drove the wheels off.

 

[DasguteOhr]

Can u imagine the turbo lag on the Audi....

Yes ..fun begins at 3800rpm to 7200rpm
Nice review in english

This is the color that dont normally see. You must have many fond memories of it. Such great looking car. I like the size of car back then. They are not big like today's.

Let me know when he does a Lancia Delta S4 or 037….then I’m interested… There are a couple guys in Switzerland who run these in time trial races and they smoke everything. Also, the sounds they make having both a supercharger and turbocharger is unlike anything else I have heard from a car.

I had a MkI Ford Capri and then a MkII just like this one, same colour. Still think it’s a great design, Britains answer to the Mustang.

Iirc, the 1.6 liter was made in Britain, the 2.0 in Germany. Fun car.

The RS 2600 V6 is rare.apparently there were a few buyers back then who gave the engine to Cossworth England for tuning.
