I'll take "What is a Ford Capri?" for 500, Alex

Not really

Big cars with big engines werent/arent a thing here due to the historical economic difference

Big engines in big cars gave birth to drag racing and nascar, small cars with small engines gave birth to rally

How about a Taunus or Cortina?

The capri the other anon posted had a 5L V8. Not a HEMI by any means, but still decent.

There were "luxury" versions of regular cars that had an inline 6 instead of an inline 4, like the Volvo 260 and Opel Commodore.
I think that V8 Capri was something a mad tuner built, not a factory option.

>>16880682
Aye - but only the Mk1

There is a reason why they discontinued the V8 for the MK2 and onwards

These where never realy a thing here, but we also had relatively small cars with powerfull engines: hot hatches like the Golf GTI, V-6 Clio or peugeot 205 GTI and many more.

>>16880847
Other way around, cunt. Opel made Commodores way before Holden did.

>>16880847
But it isn't a rebadged holden

Sure, and they're just as bad handling as American muscle.

It even has a V8 originally designed by Buick.

> European
> Muscle car
Europe doesn't DO muscle cars, for the most part. The economics and roads are different.

Here, when a young man buys a fast car, it's a hot hatch. It accelerates fast, but it's light, handles well, and is relatively green and efficient.
In america, when a young man buys a fast car, it's a big ugly RWD lump of american iron with a huge V8 in it, that drinks fuel like crazy and can't go around corners.

'68 Ford Taunus

>>16880983
Sad. Can attest for the american side.

Also the fast and the furious franchise gave birth to a /b banana poster level generation of faggot children with stock civics and wings and fart pipes.

Had to show these kids wtf american muscle was more than once.

Kid talks shit. Points and laughs at stoplight. Etc...

Flip switch on header dump. Thrash a nice breeze of hot air at his little little convertable and grin as i pull the move out of his favorite shows with 2 fingers let him know how little his faggot ricebox is.

We were kinda on about big cars/big engines for the common

I don't think anyone would say that Europe hasn't produced big cars when we have brands like BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce and so on

Oh, and on the subject of those; I've been thinking about heading up into the forest near my house and see if I can locate a shed me and a friend looked into like 10 years ago. I remember there being a large Opel there, but cant remember if it was a Kapitan, an Admiral or something else

Europe never did affordable muscle
South Africa did with European cars though, v8 powered capris

The Mercury Capri was such a strange car.
Mk1 was a rebadged Euro Capri Mk1, never sold well.
Mk2 couldn't be a Euro Capri because of emissions, so Ford slapped Mercury badges, wider fenders and a flat grille on a Foxbody, again, didn't sell well.
Mk3 was an MX-5 competitor, built by Ford Aus for the Australian market, and was based on the Mazda 323.

>>16882660
Ford in general has a bit of a weird history with their two pretty much separate divisions and sharing cars between them.
