Piper GTR Le Mans '69
Image

This odd looking racer was built to compete in the '69 Le Mans. It is powered by a 1300cc straight 4 cylinder engine producing 155 bhp. With a full body height of only 30 inches, an extremely low drag coefficient, and low weight (600 kilos), the GTR has very impressive performance - a max speed of 164 mph to be exact. Unfortunately, the GTR never actually got to compete in the Le Mans, due to its not setting a qualifying time because of mechanical issues. It would be fun to drive it on some video game though...

Cheetah Coupe '64
Image

An extremely historic car. Bill Thomas made this to be a cobra beater. Only 19 chassis and 33 bodies were made before money for the project ran out.

In 1964, Chevrolet was officially out of racing, thanks to a General Motors ban on participation in motorsports. Unofficially, the bowtie division kept its fingers in a few low-key projects, including one that promised to give Carroll Shelby’s Ford-powered Cobra some serious competition. Fifty years later, that oddly proportioned but wickedly fast sports car, Bill Thomas’s Chevrolet-engined Cheetah, will get its due with an upcoming anniversary celebration at Road America.
Powered by a fuel-injected 327-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8 stuffed so far back in the chassis that a U-joint, not a driveshaft, linked the transmission and differential, the Cheetah’s 90-inch wheelbase and fiberglass body helped it tip the scales at a mere 1,500 pounds. With an output of more than 375 horsepower, that made for an impressive (or as some would describe it, terrifying) power-to-weight ratio, and Cheetahs were reportedly capable of 200 MPH top speeds. It quickly showed its capabilities at Road America, with driver Ralph Salyer and mechanic Gene Crowe capturing victory in the Cro-Sal Special (a derivation of their names) at the 1964 SCCA June Sprints, before going on to take 10 more wins in the 1964-1965 seasons.

Thomas, an engineer with a passion for Corvettes (and Chevrolets in general), envisioned his Cheetah as Chevrolet’s response to the Shelby Cobra’s dominance in road racing. Initially, Chevrolet bought into the idea and agreed to supply drivetrains and other components, even though it was “officially” out of motorsports at the time. Thomas, with the aid of master fabricator Don Edmunds, set to work building the 100 copies that the FIA required for homologation, but when the FIA increased the homologation number to 1,000 units during the 1964 season, Chevrolet got cold feet and ended its support of the Cheetah program. Thomas did his best to keep the Cheetah venture going, but a shop fire in September 1965 saw his dreams of a Cobra beater go up in smoke. Just 19 Cheetah chassis (plus 33 bodies) were built before money ran out.

There have been continuation Cheetahs through the years, along with fiberglass Cheetah body recreations, but despite this the total population of Cheetah automobiles remains low.

Lamborghini Islero S '69
Image

The Lamborghini Islero is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1968 and 1969. It was the replacement for the 400GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The car debuted at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show. The Islero (pronounced "eez-LEHR-oh") was named after a Miura bull that killed famed matador Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete" on August 28, 1947.

An updated Islero, dubbed the Islero S, was released in 1969. The engine in this model was tuned to 350 horsepower (260 kW; 350 PS), but the torque remained the same. There were quite a few styling changes, including brightwork blind slots on the front fenders, an enlarged hood scoop (which supplied air to the interior of the car, not the engine), slightly flared fenders, tinted windows, round side-marker lights (instead of teardrops on the original), and a fixed section in the door windows. Various other changes included larger brake discs, revised rear suspension and revamped dashboard and interior. The top speed of the S improved to 161 mph (259 km/h) and acceleration from zero to 60 mph 6.2 seconds. Only 100 examples of the Islero S were built, bringing the production total of the Islero nameplate to 225 cars.

Morgan 3 Wheeler '13


The engine has an interesting design - it's a 2 litre V twin OHV S&S X Wedge with three camshafts, producing 115 hp and 125 ft-lb of torque and is linked to a Mazda MX5 (Miata) gearbox.

The car itself is based on Pete Larsens modern day American made interpretation of an early Morgan three wheeler which was called the Ace Cycle Car. Morgan bought the rights to this design.
