NSU Ro80 '67
NSU Ro80 '67.jpg
Voted car of the year in Europe in 1968, the Ro80 is a rotary engined German saloon that weighs in at less than 1.300 kg and produces 113 hp from its twin rotor 1.0 litre (conservative) engine.

Initial public opinion surrounding the Ro80 wasn't favourable because of reliability issues. The later models however, were much sturdier, and its performance is rather sprightly, considering its modest power output. This is mainly due to its relatively low weight and the simpler, more performance-efficient nature of the rotary engine.

Top Speed: 180 Km/h

Audi Quattro '89
Audi Quattro.jpg
The Audi Quattro is a famous and historically significant road and rally car produced by the German automaker Audi. Notably, it was the first four-wheel drive grand tourer since the Jensen FF of 1966.

It is considered one of the most significant rally cars of all time, and was one of the first to take advantage of the then-recently changed rules which allowed the use of all-wheel-drive in competition racing. Many critics doubted the viability of all-wheel drive racers, thinking them to be too heavy and complex, yet the Quattro was an instant success, winning a rally on its first outing. It won competition after competition for the next two years.

When Audi presented the first generation quattro to an international public at the Geneva Automobile Show in spring 1980, this signalised one of the most important innovations in modern automotive technology.

The "original quattro", as its fans now call it, remained in production until 1991; during this period 11,452 cars were built. In the first few production years the interior became steadily more sophisticated in its materials, but there were also a few minor technical changes, for example digital displays and speech-output warnings, the anti-lock braking system and running-gear modifications. An update was carried out in the autumn of 1987, and bestowed the Torsen centre differential and a slightly larger five-cylinder engine on the quattro: the new power unit retained the original power output of 200 hp, but developed greater low-speed torque. In 1989 the power output was raised to 220 hp by installing a new four-valve cylinder head; the top speed increased to 230 km/h.

Perana Z-One '09
Perana Z-One '09.jpg
South Africa is quickly becoming a hotbed for sports car development, one of the last cars introduced is the Perana Z-One powered by a Corvette V8 engine and designed by Zagato. Only 999 examples are expected to see the light of the day.

The gorgeous body of each Perana Z-One will be handbuilt in Italy by coachbuilder Zagato and then shipped in pieces to South Africa where there are attached to the vehicle’s chassis.

The Z-One's chassis has been completely conceived and designed by Perana engineers in South Africa, despite the engine sourced from General Motors.

The 6.2L V8 engine generates 440 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque of torque, and redlines at 6,600 rpm. That's enough to scoot the 1,195 kg car 100 km/h in an estimated sub-4 second time. Big brakes - 325 mm up front, 305 mm in the rear - slow things down again, while unequal length A-arms, Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs at all four corners handle the curves.

Seriously wide wheels at 18x10 and 19x12 front and rear are covered in sticky 275 and 345 rubber, respectively, offering as much surface area as the Dodge Viper. A six-speed manual sends power to the rear wheels, where the only traction management available comes by way of a ZF limited-slip diff. There are no ABS or ESP on this car, making it a true driver's vehicle. Weight balance is a perfect 50/50, however, thanks to the engine's placement at 20 cm behind the front axle.

Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak '87
Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak '87.jpg
Following the withdrawal of the Group B World Cup rally, many brands sought to extend the sporting life of their vehicles. Audi was one of them and created a latest evolution of Audi Quattro: The Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak . It was created to compete in the American mountain race, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb , where other Group B were also used as the Peugeot 205T16.

The driver Michèle Mouton , who was runner-up with the Audi Quattro, was responsible for achieving victory in 1984 and 1985 and thus several records: Record Breaking Test and be the first woman to win. American Bobby Unser and German Walter Röhrl also drove the Audi Pikes Peak Quattro, scoring victories in 1986 and 1987 respectively.

The car featured an inline 5-cylinder engine that displaced 2,110 cc and produced an officially quoted figure of 590 hp.

Ermini Seiottosei Barchetta '14
Ermini Seiottosei Barchetta '14.jpg
Few existing sports car producers can match the intense, albeit brief, history of the Ermini brand.
In the post-war years, the Florentine brand fittingly represented the "prototype" of the
Italian sports car – nimble and pacy cars with refined engines, often of low or medium power, with aggressive and intriguing profiles. Between 1946 and 1955, Ermini built and powered around 40 automobiles, all sports cars that rivalled, like Osca and Cisitalia, the more high-profile and powerful Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche and Mercedes models, sometimes, quite incredibly, even managing to beat them.

On the legendary streets of the Mille Miglia, as well as those of the Targa Florio, the Florentine automaker wrote some of the most glorious and unforgettable chapters in that period of Italian and international motor sports.

In just over ten years Ermini or Ermini-powered cars made over 600 appearances in domestic and international races.

There were many prestigious victories, both in terms of class (such as Targa Florio 1950/1953, Mugello in 1955, the Giro di Sicilia 1952, the Coppa d'oro delle Dolomiti 1949, and the Italian road racing championships of 1950), and outright (such as the Coppa della Toscana in 1949).

The specific sporting nature of the Ermini brand is demonstrated by the regular participation of its cars at major international races such as the Mille Miglia, where in 1950, the maximum "Sport" category numbered thirteen Ermini or Ermini-powered cars. The Florence brand also made its mark abroad (even if few Ermini cars and engines left Italy) winning a Dutch class championship in 1953 with an Ermini-powered sports car and competing in several races also in the US.

And it was in the US that amateur constructor Bill Devin was inspired by the winding and captivating profile of an Ermini 357 Scaglietti, using the bodywork of the Florentine sports car to develop fibreglass bodies that were later utilised on around 400 sports cars.

This fascinating story came to an end in 1962 when the Florentine brand ceased trading.
A slumber that lasted until 2007 when, thanks to Ermini Automobili Italia, the company was reborn in Florence, almost fifty years after the closure of the mythical Ermini, one of the most legendary names in Italian sport.

In 2014, thanks to the partnership with Osella of Turin, the Ermini of the 21st century will make its bow with a car that will follow in the footsteps of the brand's historic philosophy and reintroduce, with a modern take, the concept of BARCHETTA SPORT.

Mitsubishi Eclipse SE '12
Mitsubishi Eclipse SE '12.jpg
Slated to be the last Eclipse model to be built, the Eclipse SE comes with some new details and features to make the last one a pretty memorable one, too.

To give the Eclipse a proper send-off, Mitsubishi introduced a special edition trim package for the sports coupe. The package was available for both the coupe and spyder versions of the car and came with HID headlights, black side mirrors, special edition badging, a set of 18” alloy wheels, heated leather seats, a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system, and Bluetooth connectivity.

On top of the aesthetic package, the Eclipse SE also came with two engine options: a 2.4-liter four cylinder engine with 162 horsepower and 162 lb/ft of torque and a more powerful 3.8-liter V6 engine with 265 horsepower and 262 lb/ft of torque.

Cisitalia / Abarth 204A Motto Spider '49
Cisitalia-Abarth 204A Motto Spider '49.jpg
Acting as Porsche's official representative in Italy, Austrian-born Carlo Abarth joined the fledgling Cisitalia company early in 1947. This was the result of agreement between Cisitalia founder Piero Dusio and the Porsche family to develop a revolutionary Grand Prix car following Porsche designs. Unfortunately, the project proved too ambitious and despite numerous successes, Cisitalia went bankrupt nearly two years later. As compensation for his services, Abarth received several racing cars in various states of completion when the assets were liquidated.

Among them were two complete examples and a third that was still under construction of the Cisitalia 204A model, which Abarth had helped develop. The type had made its debut in May of 1948 and was the first Cisitalia that showed the Porsche influence. It used an all new steel tubular chassis with the twin-trailing arm and transverse torsion bar front suspension that was so typical of all Porsche-developed cars of the era. Consisting of a live axle with a transverse leaf spring, the rear-end was more conventional. Compared to the existing and already very successful 202 chassis, the Cisitalia 204A was considerably lighter.

What was carried over from the existing Cisitalia line-up was the Fiat-sourced four-cylinder engine. The production-based unit displaced 1,089 cc and featured a single, laterally mounted camshaft that actuated the valves through push-rods. Equipped with Carlo Abarth's tuning kit that included twin Weber carburettors, the performance of the diminutive engine was nevertheless impressive. Running on exotic fuel with 50% alcohol, it could produce as much as 80 bhp. It was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, which was also of Fiat origins.

To make the most of the very light chassis, aerodynamicist Giovanni Savonuzzi was tasked to design a very efficient body. He was helped by the Porsche-style front end, which allowed for a considerably lower nose. Savonuzzi penned a tightly wrapped body that more closely resembled Cisitalia's single seaters than the 202 sports racer it was due to replace. On the original design, the 204A still featured an all-enveloping nose but this was later replaced by cycle fenders. The bodies were built by Rocco Motto, who specialised in lightweight constructions.

As a Cisitalia 204A, the car was raced only a handful of times. It immediately proved faster than the existing Cisitalia racers, which had handsomely won their class and finished second in the Mille Miglia the year before. Highlight of these few outings was the Giorgio and Alberto Nuvolari Cup in June of 1948 where Adolfo Macchieraldo and Felice Bonetto finished first and second in the new Cisitalia. Sadly the company was already in decline at this time and the development halted during the second part of the year. Fortunately, the cars were given a new lease of life as Cisitalia-Abarths in 1949.

Abarth had also managed to attract some of the best engineers and drivers from the now defunct Cisitalia. As a result the newly formed 'Squadra Carlo Abarth' hit the ground running. Piero Taruffi finished a strong season as Italian Formula 2 sports car champion and Guido Scagliarini won the title in the under 1100 cc class. Now sporting the famous 'scorpion' badge, the cars were raced again in 1950 when the legendary Tazio Nuvolari scored the final victory of his long career in the Palermo-Monte Pellegrino hill climb at the age of 57.

During the season, the open racers were gradually replaced by a fixed-head machine. Confusingly still known as the 204A, it boasted a new platform chassis and a coupe body designed by Giovanni Michelotti and built by Vignale. It is believed that a total of five 204As were built, including the two cars produced in 1948. They serve the distinction of being the last Cisitalias, the first Abarths and the last car raced to victory by the great Tazio Nuvolari.
