Someone in my area actually daily drives a Stealth. It's one of those cars that can blend in if you're not an enthusiast, but is pretty special to those who know what they're looking at, even if it is basically just a rebadged Mitsubishi.

@Jonnells24, I think that it was based on the Mitsubishi GTO, which is also alternatively known as the Mitsubishi 3000GT, 3000GT SL, and Mitsubishi 300GT VR-4 in the USA. The whole GTO thing would not fly in the USA and Canada because of the Pontiac GTO, so between making GM mad, and muscle car fans mad, Mitsubishi called it those names, as well as the Dodge Stealth and Dodge Stealth R/T, instead. However, make no mistake, as its American, Canadian, and European parts either have, or can fit, Mitsubishi GTO parts, and ditto for the Dodge Stealth.

@@poulwinther correct, they have those other brands for the majority of the sportscars. But showing what the brand is capable of producing can increase the sales of the Golf R, Golf GTI etc. So the sporty models. There are several brands that use that marketing technique. Look at Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, etc. They all have a few concept or sports car models that on first sight don't seem to fit the brands because they are superior. Also it helps to come up with new technologies that in the future will be used in "normal" vehicles.
I have not heard "Tommykaira" in like 20 years :D Gran Turismo was a great game back in the day. The Dodge Stealth was neither rare nor forgotten, it was basically a slightly redesigned Mitsubishi GTO/GT3000. The Lexus SC was just a rebadged Toyota Soarer.

sill have a couple stealths in my area and honestly the sc300/400's are pretty common cars too to the area. Used to own one for awhile and it was a blast to drive. Honestly would've preferred it more than the s13 if it had pop up headlights lol.
3:25 I know it’s a whole different car but this is kinda what I’d imagine a v8 viper to look like (at least from the front and sides) and what it might sound like. But ofc v10 viper is the only viper and it is a legend
two cars that absolutely didn't belong to this list: Dodge stealth, Lexus SC, both were just reskins or rebadges of other cars that were either more famous (in case of stealth, the mitsubishi GTO-3000GT) or just not that known in the US (Toyota crown coupe-soarer), cars like the Gillet Vertigo or cizetta morodor would've been better picks imho.
I really wished the VW and the Yamaha would be available as a kid. Seen a few Tommy Kairas before and it was so cool seeing them. That Matra is so hot too. They’re all heroes. None of these are forgotten… by me.

@TheChill001

actually the Europa was intended to be the first to get Lotus' own engineered engine, but production woes and quality issues regarding proper fitment of the engine in the europa's lightweight chassis prevented this, hence they used a renault engine as they supplied it cheaply and were apparently quite good to fettle with, see Lotus Europa Twin Cam for reference.
Those sounds.... those cars.... 😢😢😢😢 Thanks!
The W12 Synchro/Nardo was literally a show car prototype built around what became a production engine for the Phaeton and Touareg. And it's hardly forgotten when it's on display at the Autostadt museum in Wolfsburg.
The Stealth was never rare or forgotten. They’ve just all blown up or rusted out over the years. Those along with the 3000gt were just super heavy under powered. Back in the 90s we were all modding these things without modern tuning. It’s just as unlikely to see a first or second gen dsm on the road now, but they were everywhere back in the day.
the sc300/sc400/soarer is so underrated, the soarer actually came with a 1jz. Also it looks stunning with mods
