Especially the new one with the triple exhaust, I will own one of those before I go. But that would be a ricer. And achingly cool.


Personally I don't like the shape of the new 10 Gen ones. Sports type hatchback with 4 doors don't look right to me.
Mine is a 8 Gen that I think was the best body shape. :)

134.7hp on a dyno. It's not the standard engine.

Original cafe racers we run-of-the-mill bikes modified to go fast. So anything designed as a sports car from the factory surely doesn't count? Where as an 'ordinary' car made light and fast is done along much the same ethos. I use the term fast-road because it is often used to describe cars that have been modified for track use whilst keeping them usable on the road.

The first thing I thought of when I read your question is rally cars. Probably dating myself but my first thought was of Austin Coopers and Ford Zodiaks modified for rally. Obviously a whole new breed of cars now. Never stayed up with the sport.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
