Tonight we return to posterchild mid-engined supercar territory, while having the smallest engine featured here so far: a tiny little 2.2-litre turbo-four. It's hard to believe that was in the supercar league back then, especially if you take into account it had 215 hp. Anyway, remember: it's all about the power-to-weight ratio.

Nice to know these interiors looked just as bad new.

My biggest qualm isn't how it looks, it's the fact it's obviously so poorly assembled.

Yeah I was mainly thinking of how it looked with regards to fit and finish. Having not been around in the 70s/80s, I can pass no judgment on the attractiveness of the design.

my ex's aunt had one of these I drove many times. My feet were too damn big with shoes on to use the pedals, but it was fun
