Cars that should be produced again

[TheTom]

I'm fine with the Golf R or a BMW M135i, i don't need the old hatches to come back. And if you don't wanna spend that much money, theres the Fiesta St or even a Fiat Punto Abarth.
But what i would really like to see is the Mercedes t80, a car that was supposed to reach 600km/h in 1939. It had a 42L V12 with over 3000hp and it was more aerodynamic than any car currently on the market. But before they could test it, the Second World War broke out.

Its good they didnt make that thing... with todays technology, they dont even have a car to safely travel those speeds (only 407km/h Veyron)

[TheTom]

The car was done, they were just about to test it, when World War 2 started. I think it could have worked because that thing weighed just under 3 tons, and it literally had side wings, for downforce. Plus, it even had a kind of traction control system.

[Jakgoe]

How did the engine itself weigh less than 3 tons?

[TheTom]

I don't know what materials they used for the engine but i don't even think the Brutus' 47L V12 weighs that much. 2 tons maybe...

[Jakgoe]

But still, that car couldn't have been much more than an engine, 4 wheels, and a few pieces of metal acting as the chassis.

The t80 actually had 6 wheels.

[TheTom]

It really wasn't much more than the huge V12, the metal bodywork and the wheels. But god damn, if cars today would look like that, they would not only be more aerodynamic than they are, they would also look fantastic.

It is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the top 5 best looking cars of all time.

I'd rather say best racing prototype, because you can't beat the Miura.

Nope, E-Type Jag.

[Leonardo9613]

I had never heard of that Merc, it looks amazing. It reminds me of the Auto-Union Streamliner from 1938, both those cars are very good-looking and very cool.

[Jakgoe]

I don't know, the Merc gives the Miura and the Jag a run for their money.

How about the Nissan Bluebird?

Maybe some of us that feel the same, should get our heads together, all invest the same amount of cash and start production of those old JDM sportscars again... so reborn silvia, evo, supra, rx7 etc.etc.

BMW and Toyota is making a supra and the Z4's cousin is the supra because the chassis is the same
