The Lamborghini Miura and the Nissan Skyline GT-R are two of the most extreme cars on the market today. There's also the Subaru BRZ tS and the Honda Civic Type-R. They are unique and cool, even though they're not cars. What's the coolest American car? Let's take a look. We hope you'll be inspired by this list to get behind the wheel!
The Lamborghini Miura
The Lamborghini Miura Supercar sold for an outrageous price in 1966. The Miura was a rare machine, selling for $20,000 per unit. Only 275 Miuras were ever made. They sold like hotcakes. The Miura was a beautiful car with a slim waistline and a flat roof that rose 1050mm above the ground. The Miura had twin-circular headlamps that were derived from Fiat 850 Spider.
The Nissan Skyline GT-R
In 1969, the first man to orbit the moon was successfully launched, and the 747 became its first public appearance. Japanese car buyers want the best technology. The car is a perfect example of all these characteristics. Skyline GT-R was the first Japanese car to be launched by Nissan. The car is not easy to find in its original condition but Nissan managed to revive the GT-R badge in a rush of turbocharged rage.
The Honda Civic Type-R
It is no surprise that the Honda Civic Type-R has become a very popular and well-known car. The sleek design of the Honda Civic Type-R has a sporty appeal. The front of the car is decorated with three exhaust tips and multiple scoops. A notable feature is the rear wing. The Type-R doesn't offer as much as the older versions but still offers an exceptional driving experience.
Subaru BRZ tS
The Subaru BRZ tS Limited Edition Model is available at $34,000. It's both a speedster on the track, and a street-ready beauty. The car's chassis experts understand what they are doing. The car has a low ground clearance so traction can sometimes be tricky on slippery roads. However, the car is fun to drive along the windy Californian canyon roads. The tS is also perfect for downhill runs.
The Toyota 2000 GT
The Toyota 2000 GT was one the earliest sports cars built. It was made in collaboration by Nissan. The Toyota 2000 GT was launched in December 1964. Two companies signed a technology sharing arrangement on September 8, 1965. The design team consisted of Toyota engineers Shinichi Yamazaki and Hidemasa Takagi, test driver Eizo Matsuda, and design assistant/development driver Shihomi Hosoya. Shoichi Sakato, the industrial designer at Toyota was in charge of the project. The car's shape is attributed to Toyota industrial designer Satoru Nozaki, which drew a full-size wooden buck for inspiration.
Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco might be one of most unique cars ever produced. Its naming convention is "GOAT", or "Goes Over Any Terrain." The eight-speed automatic transmission of the car has seven drive modes. This allows it to adapt to different driving conditions including normal, sport, mud/ruts and rock crawl. Base Bronco offers five modes and optional Wildtrak seven.
The Volvo G80
The G80 was the most popular car in our tests. The G80 is a great value, despite its high price. Its spacious cabin is an example of Swedish engineering. The driver-centric design makes it more affordable than its competition. The G80's 3.5T engine makes for a smooth, refined ride and a great sound. However, it's not a sports sedan, as its 5.1-second time to 0-60 mph is a little slow. It's also possible that your hair could be brushed against the headliner, either in front or behind the driver-side seats. This won't be a problem for sub-six-footers, however.
