Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi '69
Dodge Charger RT 426 Hemi '69.jpg
Elwood Engel replaced Virgil Exner, the charismatic designer who lead Chrysler in the 1950s, and went on to develop many cars. The Dodge Charger which made its debut in 1966, was his masterpiece.

The Charger underwent a full model change in 1968. From the very outset, it was an unprecedented specialty car for its time, being only available in a hard top with no convertible model. This held true for the new model as well.

The 440 R/T name was given to the fastest sports model of the Charger. With the 375 HP, 440CI, OHV V8, 440 Magnum unit as the base engine, an optional 426 Hemi producing 425 HP was offered. A 6 pack option with three 2 barrel carburetors was also later offered as an option, but very little of either was ever produced.

In 1969, a version called the 500 Daytona was added. Equipped with a massive rear wing and elongated nose, and even an aerodynamic rear window section, it has a significantly distinctive style. This is due to the fact that it was a special homologation model for stock car racing, of which the maximum speeds were reaching 322 km/h. It was not just becoming flashy for no reason.

There was also a Charger 500 base model without the extended nose and rear wing, but because many of these were converted on the spot to the Daytona model immediately after production, there are very few that still exist.

I think it will always lack cars of these two mentioned manufacturers, if I can recall correctly, Tsukishima doesn't like them.
RUF is better than Porsche!

I don't dislike these manufacturers, but I think that (most of) their cars are fugly and both are overrated and have a very annoying fanbase (Ferrari does too, but at least they look alright).

I don't have much knowledge on what cars a typical BMW/Porsche person would like to see in a video game so I don't waste much of my time on postin' random cars of these manufacturers. And don't forget that Shino makes car posts too, from time to time you can see him makin' a post for one car of these manufacturers, so one day we will stop havin' a lack of BMW and Porsche, perhaps.

Maybe we will not, I tend to avoid making posts for certain manufacturers (eg. Maserati, Mercedes-Benz) for the same reasons you mentioned here:

Trident Iceni Grand Tourer '13
Trident Iceni Grand Tourer '13.jpg
Trident Cars Ltd. was a British car manufacturer based originally in Woodbridge then in Ipswich, Suffolk between 1966 and 1974 and again after being restarted in 1976 from premises in Ipswich. The new company stopped production in 1977-78. But now, a new Trident is around, and they brought a new sports car with them to the 2013 Salon Privé.

The car is called the Iceni Grand Tourer and true to its brand name, it’s got serious power matched with some classic aesthetic looks. The Iceni Grand Tourer is powered by a mid-front mounted 6.6-liter turbo diesel engine that produces 660 horsepower and an absolutely insane 1048 lb/ft of torque. These numbers allow the car to hit 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 322 km/h.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 '11
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 '11.jpg
The fourth-generation Grand Cherokee retains its classic Jeep styling combined with a modern and sleek body style. The interior is luxurious, featuring leather trim and real wood accents, plus state-of-the-art[clarification needed] electronics options. The 2011 Grand Cherokee has won 30 awards for off-road capability, luxury, value, best-in-class, and safety, making it the most awarded SUV ever.

In 2011, Chrysler introduced two new SRT8 models at the New York Auto Show, but the one that got the most attention was the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. The Grand Cherokee got an upgraded front fascia, new LED multi-function daytime running lamps, a body-colored front grille with a unique black screen background, and chrome bezel inserts. The final touch has been given by a newly sculpted hood with functional dual black heat extractors for added engine cooling. Oh, and the SUV has been lowered by one inch as well. In the back, the Grand Cherokee Srt8 gets a new liftgate spoiler that reduces drag and improves downforce and a separate air diffuser along with an available trailer receiver and access cover.

Under the hood of the Grand Cherokee SRT8, Jeep has snuggled in a 6.4 liter HEMI V8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 470 HP and 464.7 lb-ft. of torque. With this amount of power, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 sprinta from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16 second range, and can cover the quarter mile in the mid-13 second range. It has a top speed of 250 km/h. The new V8 engine was combined with an SRT-tuned, adaptive damping suspension managed by the Jeep Selec-Track system. This setup works with the vehicle’s stability control, adaptive damping, transmission shift strategy, transfer case torque proportioning, Electronic Limited Slip Differential performance, throttle control, and cylinder de-activation to automatically tune the dynamics of the vehicle.

Kia Pro_Cee'd GT '13
Kia Pro_Cee'd GT '13.jpg
The Kia Cee'd is a compact car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia since 2006, exclusively for the European market. It was released in December 2006, superseding the Kia Spectra and is available as a five-door hatchback, a three-door hatchback (Pro_Cee'd) and a five-door estate (Cee'd SW). The Cee’d is Kia’s first European-designed and built car and Kia intends to sell and manufacture the car exclusively in Europe. To mark the occasion, Kia took the initials of the European Economic Community, EEC or CEE in some places and added ED for European Design. Realising that "CEEED" had too many ‘E’s, they replaced the last 'E' with an apostrophe, with "Cee'd" being the end result.

On July 1, 2013, Kia released the Pro_Cee'd GT, the Pro_Cee'd GT is the companies first performance oriented car and the first European style "hot hatch" to come from a Korean manufacturer. The Pro_Cee’d GT is based on the standard 2013 Pro_Cee’d and has been described as "a hot hatch perfectly aligned with Kia’s sportiness and "fun to drive" positioning. An aggressive body kit highlights the aesthetic program for the Pro_Cee’d GT, particularly the addition of a new front bumper with larger air intakes, new LED headlamps, a honeycomb grille with a "GT" logo, larger side skirts, and a redesigned rear bumper.

The Pro_Cee'd GT uses a variant of the Kia/Hyundai T-GDi Gamma Engine. The engine in the Pro_Cee'd GT is the same as that used in the American market Hyundai Veloster Turbo, but different gear ratios and more aggressive suspension have been used. The Torque has also been dramatically increased to 265Nm (195.5 lbs ft) over the normal aspirated engine; though, where the standard T-GDi engine has all of its torque available between 1750 to 4500rpm, the engine as used in the Pro_Cee'd GT has been altered slightly, having its full torque available between 1750 and 4600rpm. The engine propels the car to 100 km/h in 7.4s, 0.4s faster than the Veloster Turbo with the same engine.

Alfa Romeo GTV 3.2 V6 24V '03
Alfa Romeo GTV 3.2 V6 24V '03.JPG
Alongside the Alfa Romeo Spider on the stand at the 1994 Paris Motor Show, were a couple of other new models from the classic Italian carmaker. They were the Coupe and GTV. Pininfarina designed the GTV as a hard-top version of the Spider, so it had all the same head-tuning visual cues of the convertible. It's safe to say that this styling set the precedent for future Alfas, namely the 147 and 156. Inside the sheet metal, the GTV featured its own unique interior look.

For serious drivers, the GTV was the clear choice over the Spider because the fixed roof provided better structural rigidity, making it more adept on Europe's twisty mountain roads. The front-wheel-drive car exhibited crisp turn-in, with only moderate understeer. Body roll was minimal.

Power was supplied by 216 HP 3.0-liter V6 that was also found in the Spider. In the GTV, thanks to the better aerodynamics provided by the presence of the fixed top, the car could reach a top speed of 155 mph. It came only with 5-speed manual gearbox, which was upgraded to a 6-speed unity in 1998.

The GTV, like the Spider, received a slight facelift in 2003 where it received a new grille. The engine was also improved to a 3.2-liter V6 that pumped out 240 HP.
