The rugged little ARO 10 borrowed its engine and front axle straight from a Dacia sedan, while its go-anywhere looks drew on the Renault Rodeo and Citroën Méhari.
The Abarth 500 was unveiled at the 78th Geneva Motor Show, a year after Abarth's rebirth, and every model uses a turbocharged, intercooled 1.4 L Fire four.
The CL Type-S packed 260 horsepower into a front-wheel-drive coupe — at the time, the single most powerful front-wheel-drive car Honda had ever built.
Honda built the DC5 Integra Type R only for markets outside the US, replacing the US-market Type R nameplate entirely with the RSX Type-S sold alongside it.
This Integra wasn't just beloved by tuners — it was the most-stolen car in America for years, with a theft-claim rate more than double the second-place Jeep Wrangler.
The first-generation MDX was built at Honda's plant in Lincoln, Alabama, making it the first Acura SUV to be manufactured in the United States.
Acura didn't tune this MDX's suspension in a parking lot — it sent the three-row family SUV to the Nürburgring to get it right.
Honda's engineers chased an unlikely muse for the original NSX's cockpit: the view from an F-16 fighter jet shaped the car's low beltline and all-round visibility.
While rivals reached for bigger V6s, the first RDX went the other way — a turbocharged four-cylinder, making it one of the only four-cylinder luxury SUVs of its generation.
The RL was the first Acura model to use the company's SH-AWD torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system when it was introduced for the 2005 model year update.
The 2011 RL's wheels hid a world first: polypropylene Helmholtz resonators built into the rims to cancel out highway-seam noise before it ever reached the cabin.
The RSX Type-S replaced the Integra Type R in Acura's lineup and used a version of Honda's K20 engine rather than the Integra's B-series.
This TL's transmission problems were serious enough to land Acura in a class-action suit — the settlement stretched the warranty to 7.75 years for owners.
This TL was the first car sold in America with a 6-disc DVD-Audio system, tuned by Grammy-winning engineer Elliot Scheiner.
This TL's SH-AWD system could send every bit of its rear-axle power to a single wheel, left or right, mid-corner — an all-wheel-drive system built for cornering, not just winter traction.
The TSX was introduced to give Acura buyers a European-flavored sedan, and its first generation was a rebadged version of the Japanese-market Honda Accord.
When Brazil's Engesa went bankrupt, its own former employees bought the rights to its military 4x4 and rebuilt it with Agrale — that reborn design became the Marruá.
The Airstream International of 1958 earned its place in RV history as the first self-contained travel trailer, free of campground hookups.
Aixam's diesel microcar runs a Kubota Z402, an industrial farm-equipment engine making 4-6 kW, built to dodge a driving licence.
The 145 hid an engineering oddity under its skin: the same platform was built to accept both old-school longitudinal boxer engines and modern transverse four-cylinders.
The sporty 'ti' badge on this 146 wasn't a random label — it stood for turismo internazionale, reviving the badge Alfa used on the sporting Giuliettas of the 1950s.
The hot-hatch 147 GTA needed real surgery to fit its tires: Alfa widened the body 15mm per side just to clear its 225/45R17 rubber.
The GTA's V6 needed fatter rubber than the standard 147 could handle, so Alfa widened the whole body 15mm a side just to fit the tyres.
The 156's Twin Spark and JTD engines came from Pratola Serra, but its V6 was hand-built at Arese, splitting the same car across two factories.
Alfa Romeo offered a lightweight, more powerful GTA Corsa version of the 156 GTA intended for track use only.
Alfa Romeo styled the 159 with design cues meant to make it look bigger and appeal to American buyers — then never sold it in the United States at all.
Alfa's flagship saloon earned an unwanted crown: Autocar named the 166 Britain's worst-depreciating used car, worth just 14.4% of new after three years.
Production of the 8C Competizione was limited to 500 coupes, and Alfa Romeo allocated them by reviewing applications from prospective buyers rather than by order of deposit.
The Brera won a top Italian design prize before it was even a real car — Giugiaro took home the Compasso d’Oro for the concept that became this generation.
Bertone wanted to build the GT at its own factory, but Fiat refused, sending assembly to Pomigliano instead.
Walter de Silva styled the 916's interior before he ever ran Alfa's design studio, on a platform borrowed from a Fiat.
Its name just glues together the two cities that made it, Milano where it was designed and Torino where it was built.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
The Atom began life as a Coventry University student project, not a factory brief.
Ariel capped the Atom 500 at 25 cars and still watched it set the Top Gear test track's road-legal lap record.
The DB AR1 was built only for the American market, sold roofless because Aston Martin bet sunbelt buyers would not miss one.
On Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson left the DB7 GT in fourth gear from a standstill and floored it — the car pulled cleanly all the way to its rev limiter, hitting 135 mph without ever needing to change down.
This V12 Vantage could hit 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds — quick enough to worry contemporary supercars.
Aston Martin built exactly 100 DB7 Zagatos, then kept the hundredth one for itself instead of selling it.
Most DB9 prototypes were deliberately destroyed after testing — the three that survived went on to star in Casino Royale, then were rendered undriveable for good.
Aston Martin closed out the DBS with a China-only Dragon 88 edition: 24-carat gold-plated wing badges, a leather presentation box with a gold-detailed owner’s guide, and a run capped at exactly 88 cars.
Aston Martin promised exactly 77 One-77s — but a refurbished development car later got road-registered in the US, quietly making the true count 78.
This V12 Vanquish was the last all-new model ever built at Aston Martin's historic Newport Pagnell factory.
Every V8 Vantage engine was hand-built at Aston Martin's Cologne, Germany facility -- the same shop that assembled the V12s for the DB9 and Vanquish.
From 1998, Aston Martin would take your Vantage back into Works Service and convert it to V600 spec — bumping the twin-supercharged V8 from 550 to 600 hp.
Audi lost roughly 4,000 pounds on every A2 sold, an aluminium-bodied car built to cross Stuttgart to Milan on one tank.
