Forget those turbos, the Nut uses a special twin profile cam to deliver outstanding performance without ruining everyday drivability and fuel economy. The result? A 1.4 litre inline 4 revving to 9000rpm and producing a whopping 144hp sent to the front wheels through a 5 speed manual gearbox. 62mph comes in 7.1s and it’ll carry on to 120mph, all while delivering 8.3L/100km combined economy and an easy driving experience.
4 seats, a cassette deck, speed sensitive power steering and ABS all come as standard, as well as vented front disk brakes to keep you lapping quick.
Is it wrong to admit that I found the Jipot more akin to a Citröen Visa/Peugeot 104 than a 205? Then again, that just makes Thomas’ story even more relatable. Poor guy can really use affordable modern performance when his car is already 20 years old!
Yes, I know. The '80s is an era lacking in compact bodies within the game, which is a shame. The current '80s compact body is cool for JDM purposes, but not so much for Euro ones…
Also, pressez f pour respect (ultimate hommage for Thomas lol)
Who could resist? A sporty, V6, mid-engined sports car for just under $11,000. There’s no reason not to love the Evgenis Boruto, offering the most pure and exhilarating sports-car experience you can get.
