Yeah, the timing is unfortunate since I’ve been wanting to do a challenge like this for awhile now, but you’ve got nearly twice or even thrice the budget as the previous challenge, so I suggest you put that extra money to good use
In 2010, the Storm Breeze was quite the car. Four seats, punchy V6, double wishbone suspension. Came off the factory floor at $22,365.

I would propose you to take a look at the Revera R270. Made in 1991 you can insure and register at as a classic car. The Revera R270 was made to compete against those sporty VW Beetles, so its fast but also usable as a daily driver and reliable.
It features a 4.0L V8 producing 275HP, nothing crazy even for 1991. Thats because Revera took that engine straight from its premium saloon at the time, meaning its a proven and solid engine. And even if something breaks, finding parts is relatively easy.
The chassis and panels are made from corrosion resistant steel so rust is not an issue.
It was designed as a daily driver so it features a nice premium interior, advanced safety, and has a fuel economy of 9.5L per 100km. Even for today’s standards thats a very good fuel economy for 4.0 liter V8.
And, its fast. 4.7 seconds from 0 to 100km/h. Top speed: over 260km/h.
The Felgen 422 was introduced in 1974 as a Norwegian competitor to the Porsche 911 and the Lotus Esprit. The 2. generation (based on the same platform) was introduced in 1980, and was offered in three trim levels – One, S and Turbo. The 2. generation received a facelift in 1984 before it was discontinued in 1988. A 1987 model (One) in got condition can be picked up for 22,000 dollars today (with the optional targa roof). You can also get one for 12,000-15,000 if you’re willing to buy a lemon on par with the cars from Top Gear’s Budget Supercar challenge.
It will do 0-100 in 5.8 seconds and is equipped with a 2.2 liter naturally aspirated V8 developing 215 horsepowers (270 for the S version and 350 for the Turbo version). Reliability is fairly good compared to Italian supercars of the same era. The car is just heavy enough so that you won’t get 2 horsepowers per kilo, making it cheaper to insure.
Are we allowed to post 2 trims of the same car?
That’d probably violate the one entry per user rule, which I’m not sure was explicitly stated but should be a rule!
I’m only sending one trim. Just posting some info about the car.
(there will be space and time for photoshop…but not today)
Let’s face it, who buys used mr car to daily? Look I’ve got for you 91’ classic 2+2 coupe. When new it was ahead of its time and somewhat expensive. You can’t buy cheap new sport car with V12, sport interior, adaptive dampers, LSD and so on. 25 years later… it’s a steal. Smooth Piston V12 Sport
it’s somewhat becoming a tradition isn’t it?
almost every competition, there’s seems to be at least 1 guy/girl, that says “fu** it, why not? just for fun” *clicks v12
I would have gone for a V12 too but it did not fit into the engine bay
Everything’s better with a V12. Once we have V12 Turbo, that’ll be the new thing. Noticed a tradition like this as well with V6 as well.
I’ve been going with efficient turbocharged I4s. Save a lot of money for decent body panels and quality interiors
I use what’s appropriate to the car, but I keep falling back to the V6. It’s a great compromise between power and space.
Yeah, it’s probably the most compact engine, considering its square shape. While I could make a 1.2L V6 or something, it just seems too small for a V6 IRL. Maybe I should try playing around with odd combinations some more and I might find something better.
My typical ‘little’ V6 is a 2.5 liter. Don’t know if any real engines were produced to that size, though.
