FactChrysler's missile engineers helped shape its nose cone and wing, built solely to win NASCAR superspeedway races.
A high-performance, limited-edition winged Charger built in the summer of 1969 for the sole purpose of winning NASCAR races, after the failure of the 1968 Charger 500. Designed by Bob Marcell, Gary Romberg and John Pointer with help from Chrysler's missile engineers, it had a 23-inch-tall rear stabilizer wing, a sheet-metal nose cone in place of the grille, a flush rear window and fender-mounted cooling scoops. It won the inaugural Talladega 500 and Buddy Baker made it the first NASCAR car past 200 mph (24 March 1970, Talladega). It won six races across 1969–70; its corporate cousin was the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Built on 1969 Charger R/T specifications with the 440 Magnum standard; only 70 of the 503 built carried the optional 426 Hemi. Power figures on the cited page are not mapped to engines, so none are filed.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
