/o/ doesn't seem to like mustangs but there wasn't much like this at the time. Also the R was a wicked track car.

How is that ahead of it's time?

The tiny window meme

>>16889556
Just a bad design for armoring, and the tiny window meme had already sprouted.

Always thought that Dodge trucks and SUVs pre 2001 when everything else was boxy

None of these were ahead of their time, just ugly.

Original Mini, anyone?

>Alec Issigonis' usage of rubber cones as suspension springs

Shame really, the Mini slowly became a runaway success but BMC still couldn't make money of it; they were sellling each one at a loss.

>>16891613
The new edge cobras featured superchargers and a new IRS system designed just for them. 3300lbs honestly is not a terrible weight by any stretch of the imagination. It's in the "stable, but not flickable" category.

First car to reach 200 MPH on a nascar track, great aerodynamics even by modern standards, pretty sure it was the first American car seriously tested in a wind tunnel

>>16891866
fiat 127 and Renault 4 are more like the modern implementation
the mini has a lot of design features that never saw wide spread use

Fuck off Volt fag

>>16891812
My dad worked at a Ford dealership when those came out and he got to drive one, he said it was cool except for the fact that it's slow as fuck

>yfw every crossover looks like this now

Saab 900

>>16891614

It was pretty much the first car in history to be banned from racing because it was too good and too fast.

>>16893082
They don't at all you retard. Every cross-over today looks like a mini-suv. That thing looks like a Subaru Baja or Honda Ridgeline that got ass cancer.

>>16893082
Lol I've been the only person I know that like the look of these dumpsters.

>>16893122

>mini suv

I think you mean fat car.

It smacked around a Z06 and a Viper when it was new.

This beast had both a supercharger AND a turbo, and ruled the world in 1985 till class B cars were banned for being too fuckin amazing
