Two of the most extreme cars currently on the market are the Lamborghini Miura (left) and the Nissan Skyline GT-R (right). The Honda Civic Type-R and the Subaru BRZ tS are also available. They're unique and cool, but not really cars. So what's the coolest car in America? Let's see what we can find. We hope that this list inspires you to drive one of these beasts.
The Lamborghini Miura
The Lamborghini Miura was a supercar that was sold at an exorbitant price in 1966. The Miura, which cost $20,000 per piece, was considered a unique machine. Only 275 were built and they sold like hotcakes. The Miura was very feminine with a wide waistline and a tall, flat roof. It measured 1050mm from the ground. It was equipped with twin-circular, derived headlamps from the Fiat 850 Spider.
The Nissan Skyline GT-R
In 1969, the first man was launched to the moon, and the 747 made its first appearance. Japanese car buyers are looking for the latest technology. The car is a perfect example of all these characteristics. Nissan launched the Skyline GT-R, which is considered one of the most desirable Japanese cars today. It is hard to find the original car, but Nissan was able to revive the GT-R badge with turbocharged power.
The Honda Civic Type-R
It's no surprise that Honda Civic Type-R is the most well-known and beloved car in the world. Its sleek design has a sporty appeal. The front of the car is decorated with three exhaust tips and multiple scoops. It is notable for its rear wing. Although the Type-R might not be as original as its predecessors, it still manages an extraordinary driving experience.
Subaru BRZ TS
The Subaru BRZ tS, a limited-edition model, costs $34,000. The Subaru BRZ tS is a fast car on the track as well as a good street car. The chassis experts are very familiar with the car. The vehicle has low ground clearance which makes traction difficult, especially when driving on slippery roads. It's still fun to drive the windy Californian canyon roads and the tS is great for downhill runs.
Toyota 2000 GT
The Toyota 2000 GT sports car was one of the first to be made. It was designed in partnership with Nissan. The two companies entered into a technology sharing agreement in September 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 Saido, an industrial designer at Toyota, managed the project. Toyota industrial design Shoichi Saito was responsible for creating the car's shape.
Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco is undoubtedly one of the most popular cars ever built. The naming convention for the Ford Bronco is "GOAT," which stands for "Goes Over Any Terrain." The eight-speed auto transmission offers seven driving modes, including eco, sport, rock crawl, mud/ruts and normal. The base Bronco comes with five driving modes, while the Wildtrak option offers seven.
The Volvo G80
Our tests revealed that the G80 was the coolest car available. Even though the G80 comes at a high price, it is an amazing value. Its luxurious cabin is the epitome of Swedish engineering, and its driver-centric focus means it's not too expensive compared to its competitors. 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. You might also be worried about your hair rubbing against the headliner on the front or back seats. Sub-six-footers will have no trouble with this.
