The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don’t know which one yet tho!
What about you guys?!
Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!
I’ve always dug the Renault r5 turbo
Apparently they’re making a new one but electric (so not actually turbo but whatever) which looks pretty bonkers
Pagani Huayra. Whoever thought of putting active aero flaps on the hood so the driver can see them is a GOD.
I became aware of Pagani somewhere in the middle of the Zonda development arc and loved it. When the Huarya came out, I wasn’t as enthralled by the rounder shape but I agreed, the thought of having those flaps and gorgeous steampunk [automatic] shifter was so enticing (not that I’ll ever afford one). Ironically, I now think the Huarya is a standard shape and the Utopia has some less-desirable curviness, but the application of steampunk styling to the returned manual shifter is enticing. I appreciate the sentiment of no longer chasing the absolute fastest lap times and instead working towards a driver’s vehicle that’s 99% as fast around a track. Horatio Pagani continues to keep his artistic flare attached to his namesakes.
I’m gleeful over Koenigsegg for similar reasons, but from an engineering perspective. Christian can ramble on about his tech development and deliver results much in the way non-technical people think “Tesla” does.
A Renault Master MWB van. Tall enough to stand up inside of, wide enough to fit a 3 seat sofa or 2 pallets, and short enough that it fits in any regular parking spot. Ultimate practicality. I’m lucky enough to already own and daily drive my dream car.
Only thing that would make it better is if it was electric.
Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Cabriolet
The pink one.
I’ve wanted a pickup truck since I was a little kid. Specifically all black murdered out one. Now I have it - 2007 Nissan Navara King Cab with a camper shell and I love everything about it (except that it’s rusting faster than I can keep up fixing it)
What’s surprising to me is how much attention and compliments it gets from other people. I don’t live in the US but pickups aint that rare here either - granted most of them are more or less stock while mine is slighly modded. I have people coming up to me at parking lots asking about it, kids are giving me thumbs up when I drive by and my customers are constantly commenting on it. I didn’t want a big american truck as I prefer to keep low profile and not draw too much attention but apparently I just as well could have.
There are lots of cars here that I would love to own or at least have a good go in.
As times gone by, I fell out of love with maintaining old ICE cars. There js always something that needs doing or something broken. Constant babying.
I’d rather take a classic and convert it to electric now. More power and torque, less hassle as less to go wrong.
With that in mind, I’d want either an E Type or that R32 Nissan are working on.
Jaguar XJ220 in the OG silver or British Racing Green
If we’re dreaming, how about a TWR XJ220s ? Gorgeous.
Sheeesh 😮💨
I have a few different categories of dream car:
Realistic daily: GR86/BRZ
Realistic sports/weekend car: C6 Corvette
Unrealistic: a brand new Porsche 911 GT3
Those corvettes are fast! The porshes look so nice!!
I’m currently on the lookout for a 90’s Subaru Domingo with the right specs. I might need to bite the bullet and partner up with an importer, though.
Maybe one day an R32 skyline.
If money was no object, a Lancia Stratos would be it. It looks so sick.
Pretty stoked about Aptera.
As far as cars that are currently available go, maybe the Audi R8.
The R8 is so cool. Understated awesome.
1930 Deusenberg Model J
'59 peugeot 403 convertible
Caterham 7 SV. Probably one of the lower trims
I had a bike engined (Honda fireblade) locost 7 that’s very similar. Trick with any 7 is to keep the weight as low as possible and the red line as high as you can. Still miss it now but the track days got expensive
Slow car fast rather than a fast car slow, its the way to have a good time
Lotus Elise in attention removed yellow
except I can actually fit in it. total dream.
Have you tried the Corolla XRS?! It has the same 2ZZGE engine from the lotus! Specifically look for the 05 or 06 models.
a Lotus is pure sex appeal and a Carolla is … well … a Carolla
8200 rpm redline 👀
