Let's be clear, we're not talking about supercars that used to be on calendars and posters put up in little boys rooms, we're talking about cars that regular people bought, that were ahead of their time. Some of these cars are driven today, but mostly by enthusiasts and collectors. They were cool back in the day while they were still in production, and they are cool now. Some of these cars haven’t been mentioned as best cars by some car magazine, they are told to be the best by the drivers that drove them.
Mercedes – Benz R129 SL500
There is actually nothing to say about this car that could, even closely, describe the feeling you have behind the wheel. Numbers from the specs suggest that it's a car, but if you didn't see the car, you would imagine something different. We won't talk about numbers, but here are a few comparisons for you to understand why this car made it to the list. It weighs over two tons, it has more power than a military Hummer, it's quiet, top speed exceeds the speed of a plane lifting off and it's a convertible. That’s enough technical stuff and so far it looks good, but what about the exterior? Does the car look good as well as it seems on paper? By some, it exceeds it. Some say it’s a masterpiece. Words can`t describe the look of this car, so just look at it in the picture below.
BMW E30 M3
When people talk about BMW with a tri-color "M" badge on it, everyone usually thinks about the e30 M3 developed by BMW`s Motorsport division. Reviewers said it was the perfect car. It's sporty, yet comfortable enough to be a used as a daily to take your wife and mother-in-law shopping for groceries. It`s significantly smaller than the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL500, has less horse power than it but doesn’t lack the adrenaline that hits you when driving it. Nobody that hasn’t driven this car can't explain what is so damn special about it. Just a regular old road car with a 200 HP engine, some might think. But no, for enthusiasts it is the God of all sport road cars, it`s incredibly fun to drive, it sounds amazing and generally gives you the feeling of freedom on the road or track. Some even say it's brutal sound makes little kittens cry in a 200 mile radius. BMW's motorsport division created other M cars, but not a single one similar to the BMW E30 M3.
LANCIA DELTA
Italian cars are so fun to drive, but it has a price. Owning an Italian car is great. You don’t need a wife, don’t even think about having a girlfriend, and you will always have a best friend – your mechanic. These cars are great, but they are fragile. Precision and perfection also have a price. The Lancia Delta started off as a front wheel drive, box-like family car. Soon after that, Lancia decided it would be great for rallying, so they upgraded it with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. That’s when the Lancia Delta Integrale became so fun to own and drive. Mechanically speaking, they are a handful, and you will most probably need a good mechanic to maintain the car in good shape if you already own it. If you plan on getting one, be prepared to look for one in good shape, and still take it to your mechanic like it`s almost on its last legs.
