What Car Am I Thinking Of? Thread.

Midnight_EG · 29-03-2010 11:10pm #1

Alright, a new car game, one without pictures.

Rules are:
-1 person posts up to 3 details of the car (s)he's thinking of;
-All others must try to guess;
-Car must be a production model, race derivative, or full on race-car.

Easy to follow?

Nicked from another site I use, and it went very well over there

Guess I'll go first.

This car, once in development by a Japanese company with a logo similar to that of Gordon-Keeble and their classic Giugiaro-styled GT, rolled straight out of the laboratory and into Aguri Suzuki's race team. After an engine swap, the team was dissolved in an all-or-nothing championship title bid.

As I said, one without pictures, makes it harder

No. When you said about the team being dissolved after all or nothing title fight, that but me onto the right team. I did search for the spelling of the car though.

Someone else can go next.

This car made many appearances in a series of 80's movies
Michael J Fox appeared in these movies.
The name of the car rhymes with shmelorean

???

Ok, I'll have a go.

The exterior was designed by Chris Bangle.
The interior was designed by Pinnanfarina.
It can accelerate from 50 to 70 mph in top gear faster than a Ferrari F355.

Name that car!

Marty McFly · 30-03-2010 12:24am

fiat coupe (20v turbo version)

Tropheus · 30-03-2010 12:36am

Both of you are right, but Alfa Beta is "more right" as it was the 20v Turbo that was faster than the F355 from 50 to 70 mph in top gear.:D

I had the pleasure of owning one. Incredible in a straight line, but scary on the twisty bits. 220 bhp was too much for a FWD car.

No, not even close. The Coupe would have the DeLorean for breakfast;).

A friend of mine had one - i drove it a couple of times and invariably ended up almost going straight into the car in front when the turbo kicked in - fun though.

Me - I opted for the slightly more sedate but equally eye-catching alfa romeo gtv - another pininfarina classic in my opinion. Still have it today, 11 years on and can't fault it.
