1975 Famal GR
The most luxurious, advanced and iconic car in the history of the French manufacturer Famal. The GR (from French grande routière) was carefully designed with comfortable high speed cruising in mind - from the most aerodynamical body in class, through the hydropneumatic suspension and the smooth, potent drivetrain coupling a boxer 6 engine with a 4 speed automatic to the plush, high quality interior. It’s a perfect 70s machine for any travel.
2.7 OHV B6 with MFI (from Aquila)
134 hp/162 lb-ft
0-60 in 10 seconds
FWD of course, it’s a French car 
Juuust under 40k for this 27S trim
Yes, it was made before the update, hence the currently unavailable scene and minor details. No time for new pics

1992 Mosport Hydra Scamp
What do you get when you cross a sportscar and a dune buggy? The Hydra Scamp. Powered by a 3.3L turbocharged I6 producing 320 hp, the Hydra Scamp will hit 100 km/h in 7.7s. The modified suspension with rear solid axle and massive increase in ride height, along with offroad tires and a manual locker, allow the car to really rough it where no other sportscar can.

ACA DLX Super Turbo
In the late 1970s, ACA began downsizing their full-size models. Starting in 1978 with the new ACA DLX. Previously a high end trim for the ACA RoadCruiser, the DLX offered the comfort and space of its predecessors while having a smaller overall footprint.
However, with the downsizing of chassis, also came with downsizing engines. The behemoth that was the ACA 440 V8, a staple of high end full-size ACA's, had been dropped in favour of the smaller and more economical 300.
Therefore, to ensure that ACA was not seen as a "sedate" brand, ACA engineers devised a plan to make the DLX "sporty". Since the 1960's, ACA had been dabbling with turbochargers. Though unable to release a turbocharged engine early on due to reliability issues, by the late 70s, turbocharger technology had progressed to a point where ACA engineers felt it was reliable enough to put into a production car. And the first car they would put a turbo in, was the DLX.

1996 Adenine BandicUte RS
The Diminutive Beast
The 1996 BandicUte RS is unlike any vehicle you’ve seen before (unless you remember @strop’s CSR38). Built by Adenine’s Australian division, the BandicUte RS was a subcompact pickup with genuine hauling chops for its size. It was also a fiendishly fast hot hatch which combined rear-biased AWD with lightweight tossability. All of this at a then-unheard-of price point.
Based on the subcompact Bandicoot light truck chassis, the BandicUte RS shared the standard BandicUte’s surprisingly usable cargo space. A clever pass-through gate on the rear of the cab allowed long items, such as ladders or surfboards, to be stored in the short bed. Its strut and solid axle suspension allowed users to haul almost anything that could fit in the bed.
But the real magic had to be experienced from the driver’s seat. A 246hp turbocharged inline-4 propelled this beast to 60mph in just 4.8 seconds. Standard AWD put the power down easily, even in snowy or offroad conditions. Despite having AWD, its curb weight came in at a ridiculously light 1160kg, allowing it to corner at 1.0g. And this pocket rocket could be had for a measly $25500 when new.
During its heyday in the 90s, the BandicUte RS offered the utility of a truck, the acceleration of a Supra, the light weight and tossability of a Miata, and the traction of AWD, all for the price of an Accord. Where else in automotive history can you find such an unusual combination of features?

O I was missed 
1985 Mikami Playa Bali
Introduced in 1985 at $25,000 USD in today’s money for export markets then experiencing a leisure vehicle craze, this economy car based campervan impressed surfers and other outdoorsy types with its offroad prowess for a unibody vehicle thanks to its patented all wheel drive system, spacious interior, and fuel efficiency. The car was also subject to some notoriety in the Australian market by the late decade due to its acquired reputation as a “shaggin’ wagon” (let’s be real, anything that looks like that is bound to be used for some x-rated shenanigans) resulting in both outrage towards the vehicle by concerned parents and a surge in purchases by aspiring playboys. As a consequence of this publicity, Mikami had to end up pulling the Playa from said market by mid 1989 to avoid further controversy.
Equipment for the “Bali” trim included a port injected 1.6 liter boxer 4 engine generating 88 horsepower and 98 pounds feet of torque, 5-speed manual transmission, and Mikami’s proprietary SuperTrac all-wheel drive system with VLSD. Inside are two cloth seats and a cassette stereo in the driver’s area, as well as a living area in the rear complete with a center table that folds into the floor, two velour diner booth style chairs that can fold flat to serve as a bed, a camper stove and sink, and a miniature tv provided by Kitagawa Industries affiliate Otsumi Electronic.

The Cutest Copyright Infringement Motorpop's Ever Committed.
This Motorpop Go Type C certainly is a different beast from the usual crowd. Packed up front is a 1.6L, naturally-aspirated inline four capable of screaming to 9,100 RPM, sending an electrifying 108 horsepower per liter in the process. The rear hatch, hood, and roof are fashioned from aluminum and the bumpers plastic to reduce weight, with front bucket seats and the five-speed stick’s treated magnesium shift knob contributing to a curb weight just over 1070 kilograms. Sport tires, a limited-slip differential, and aerodynamic additions seal the sport-oriented deal.
One would traditionally expect a lightweight coupe to fit this described sporty mold - perhaps some mid-engine, two-seat runabout - but there was enough space to fit a front-engine, front-wheel-drive hatchback with big ears and a tail, smiling as it bolts through each and every corner. Yes, the former may be capable of jolting to 62 MPH in less than 6.8 seconds and crush a quarter-mile in under 15.2 seconds, but four seats and a spacious trunk certainly do not hertz when making the frequent shopping run or shocking three times as many passengers while scampering from point A to point B.
Make friends with it, and this cute character will never stray from your side.
The 2000 Motorpop Go Type C Pikachu.
How have you not been nuked by Nintendo?
Excellent question. It all started when we received a call for 10 Go Type Cs, which we thought was an odd request for just one person. Upon asking, we found out the person calling was affiliated with Nintendo and wanted to customize them as promo cars for the Pokémon franchise. Given the nature of this project, we wanted to help develop the car to reach their vision, and thus the car’s become it’s own phenomenon within our offices as well as an official project… You could say it has the seal of quality!
What's different here from a standard Go Type C?
The front fascia is virtually unrecognizable compared to the original car - even a different lip was used. The headlights are snapped from our retro-styled Funiculà to serve as Pikachu’s eyes, and the indicators are located within the translucent red "pouches” so as to preserve the character’s appearance. The grille is shaped to emulate a smile as well.
Continue to the top, and you’ll notice Pikachu’s familiar ears. An antenna is present in the left ear, though it’s possible to lift both ears from their rears as additional, but small, storage. Move further back, and you’ll find the familiar brown back stripes; they just serve an aesthetic purpose.
Even further back is the unique hatch, and the first thing you’ll notice on it is the aluminum tail. Added specifically for the look, we carefully considered how wide and how thin it was so as to minimize the rear-view’s disruption. If the original hatch was used, the tail would’ve obstructed the license plate, so we moved the Motorpop badge and license plate to the left while keeping the Go Type C badge to the right. The rear wiper also needed to be placed above the glass rather than below the glass so as to give the tail plenty of room.
Topping it off on the sides are two Go badges. They, along with the rear badge, have a Pokéball in the O as decoration that distinguishes them from the rest of the lineup. Peeking into the interior, the usual red splashes are replaced with yellow, with the red stitching from before remaining.
There’s a Pikachu on the screen.
Oh, right, almost forgot! Nintendo wanted to demo some emerging technology in this vehicle, so they wanted a satellite navigation unit added. Not just any satnav unit though; this one can understand voice commands. Based on development experience from Hey You, Pikachu, Nintendo refined their voice recognition to be more compatible with teen and adult voices. This allows you to, for example, turn on the air conditioner - or to buy some upcoming titles Crystal from a game store - at the press of a button and a move of the mouth.
When prompted, it will reply as only it can, and relevant information will be displayed on the 5” LCD screen. There also happens to be a source button on the device. We’re not sure why one would need it, but perhaps the four controller ports, controller in the glovebox, and gray cartridge may hint at some ingenious Nintendo tinkering…
Also worth noting is that the door chime is a repeated Game Boy Color startup sound, which is fitting because present inside is storage for four Game Boys total, one right next to each seat. A car charger is provided as well. Arguments over who gets to use it are not included.

You all killed it this round. Whatever happens in judging y’all should be proud of what you built this week.
Side note, I got bombarded with 6 straight full days of work starting tomorrow (which im really unhappy about), so I will be getting results out as soon as I can but it will be a little slower than usual, not to mention the amount of entries I got.

Alfora KiyohimeGTR
The Japan Market was on fire. Thats when Kiyohime GTR was born. The year was 1996, after a sucessful launch of the normal trim, Alfora decided the car was in needed of a hottest version.
With its 4L V8 giving 400hp to the rear wheels, no one could win of it on the streets. So much power gave it a 0-100km/h mark of 4.3s with its 6-speed manual. The Engineering of it had all that fancy things a japanese would want in a car.
The interior was definitively a lot of levels above from the normal Kiyohime you could see in the streets. And wow, scissor doors for enter that beast red interior. What more someone could ask?
But yeah, no one is meant to have all that power, specially on USA. Their government blocked the import of the GTR version there. Only the 2000 that were already inside the country were legalized. 15000 units were made on total.

@yurimacs : well you can stop your search now, I’ve got something as quirky as it gets
Bradford TurboMeister
“Oh wow…yeah no clue what that is…. Ok it’s a Bradford TurboMeister from 1987. Limited run fiberglass sports car from the 80s…that explains the looks somewhat. Look at those angles. The rear engine partially exposed in the back is very cool. What are the mirrors doing down there? Its extremely fast and light without being too powerful. Must be a blast to drive if temperamental but I don’t know. Seems real sketchy if I ever get in a wreck and parts must be impossible to find. Neat car but not for me.”
Yurimacs: it was worth a shot

@Dorifto_Dorito : Do you even watch Chaz’s videos? I know what you want.
ACA DLX STO
“Now we’re cooking with gas, the DLX STO is so mean looking. Mmmm turbos and carbs together are beautiful. The more you look at it the more you notice weird American “”sports”” tech like the tires are ever so slightly different in the front and rear, 205 and 215s. Might not be a great car but I wanna see what else it has in store.”
@Elizipeazie: Chaz is getting an ACA
@Xepy: Oh no let me save you from the horror
Anhultz-Tristella Dione
“Its just another Dione…its not just another Dione hold on a second. Look how low that one is. They got Tristella involved under the hood, interesting. Looks fun to drive and relatively unassuming to the public. Let’s keep that one in mind. What else you got?”
@Hobert: Its still a Dione though. I think this will stand out more.
HMC - Nadezdha
“Yo that’s funky. A kammback lets goo. I don’t know this one either, lets see…The Nadez…d.ha ok. The Nadezdha’s Wriath…typo? huh…the Wriath makes 330 horsepower in… hehe… 1982. On…oh my…155 tires. Golly gee willickers Batman I think this car is too much for me.”
Hobert: You’re not gonna find anything faster from back then though.
@Mikonp7: Might not be as fast but its way more powerful. This is a vehicle for Chaz.

@Balkanski_brat: Too nice you say? How about this I found on gregslist?
CZA C-151 Polje 1.8 4x4 USDM
“Ah alright, first SUV, and its so tiny. Aww look at eem. So these things come out of Yugoslavia you say? Interesting, it actually doesn’t look barebones cheap inside. If its well put together it could be a fun one to own, maybe if it isn’t well put together too. Worth a look I’d say.”
Sky-High: Isn’t it a little boring for a Chazmobile though?
@Syndaflod: I’ve got something a bit more rad. Behold, the shaggin’ wagon
Mikami Playa Bali
“So…you want to sell me a used sex van, nice. Decals are definitely worth 5 rad points though. Apparently the car itself is kinda shoddily engineered. Yeah imma pass on that one.”

FM Cerberus 1500 TS
“That certainly has a style. When did this come out? It looks 80s if you squint but it has new rims and 90s taillights and LEDS…this can’t be stock. One thing that’s for sure, I’ll never forget what this car is with that badging. Ohh boy apparently its extremely fatiguing to drive, no thanks.”

MM Legatus Gen.II Vivace

Mmaarrggrhhh I am rock hard for triangles. I’ll have to see what condition I can get this in. I’m not sure if it’s the Chaz mobile, but it is a Chaz dream car.”
@Sky-High: This isn’t really quirky but
Zephorus Breeze R
“Track day bro, this one is trying hard to pry me away from the Legatus, but for its increased radness, it is surprisingly way more expensive and just doesn’t have the same storied history behind it. Its getting a little too fast for me.”
(Not a bad car but could be made cheaper, lots of downforce and brakes for what it is among other little quibbles)
@Conan: lol you guys and your sports cars
Millbrook Pescalo Ultima
“This thing has a way more advanced engine than the last 2 cars! 270hp from a 30 valve V6 and an active spoiler…and its FWD, how American. You would never guess an engine like this is under the hood of a car that looks like this. Its weird sure but I’m not buying it just because its fast.”

Kaizen VTCs 50A

LLA Mynx TS 2.2

“Any other utes out there? I’ve never driven one before”
@Echowaffle8: Like this?
Satsunai Hikari AXRS2 Ute
“Uhhh, not what I expected. Its pretty plain looking to be honest and …wheres the-oh there they are, it has taillights. Hold up it makes 370hp? Out of a 2L engine. Would be scarier without the AWD but still…this isn’t it.”
@Phale: maybe this instead?
BandicUte RS
“ItS qUirkY bEcAuSe iTs FaSt. Seems like it’ll be a recurring theme. Are those factory rims? The shape of it is cool and the engineering has a distinct lack of sketch for how hot this ute is. It doesn’t have me sold though. Maybe utes aren’t for me.”
Phale: Ah I thought that would’ve done it

@Titleguy1:What’s it carrying though? Looks like a 1990 Kimura K1300-C Sport-Xi in Red Gloss
Kimura K1300-C Sport-Xi
“Indeed, weird you got the year right and everything. Its like a mini Silesta. Looks distinctive for sure. 100hp in something that small is plenty. Then again I can’t help but think of the diabolical things I could do to it. I’m really liking the idea of this.”
Alright I’m signing off for the night. We’ll see what else is in store soon.
