FactPanther's Solo 2 roughly doubled the Solo 1's power by swapping a 1.6 Ford CVH for a turbocharged Sierra Cosworth engine.
The Panther Solo, a mid-engined sports car offered as a 2-seat coupe or 2+2, was made by the Panther Car Company; the first version, the Solo 1, was a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive car powered by a Ford 1.6 CVH engine producing 105 hp (78 kW). A later Solo 2 switched to a turbocharged 1,993 cc Ford Sierra RS Cosworth engine (204 hp) with a Ferguson four-wheel-drive system, roughly double the Solo 1's output; new owner SsangYong later showed a tribute Solo 3 concept. Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase 99.6 in (2,530 mm), length 171.0 in (4,343 mm), width 70.1 in (1,781 mm), height 46.5 in (1,181 mm), curb weight 2,954 lb (1,340 kg).

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.
