Soon the coupe turned into a rear-wheel drive roadster. By 2001, when they began to forget regarding the outlandish Volkswagen, the Germans prepared a Nardo jet modification with a 600-horsepower six-liter engine, a hundred in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of over 350 km / h. Unlike many other experimental cars, this one might not only show off the characteristics on paper. On February 23, 2002, a matte black Volkswagen with BBS gold rims circled the Italian Nardo of the same name for a day, covered a distance of 7740.576 kilometers at an average speed of 322.891 km / h and set nine world records.

Eh, “Mazda” … Your traditions and originality of thinking, but in the right direction. Crossovers are important, but without high-speed technology, the corporate palette seems half empty. And so for a long time. The apotheosis of sportiness in Hiroshima style, perhaps, was the RX-7 sports coupe with a two-section turbocharged RPD (rotary piston engine). We haven’t forgotten regarding the racing prototypes of Group C and the rally 323, but that’s still a slightly different story. Now the sadness-longing of Petrolhead is dispersed by one roadster MX-5.
