Many remember TVR, but few remember Marcos . Defunct to 2007.

So many gone and forgotten car companies over the years.

I actually do remember. I even remember when I first heard from them. It was in Gran Turismo. I got enchanted by the brand because I’d never heard of them before, but wauw, the cars they produced were beauties.

Yes, and I remember Bitter as well, an Opel-based car that came out in the ‘80s.

The SC looked a lot like the Ferrari 400i, and I love that car. This SC is probably American spec, hence why it looks like it’s on stilts; lower it an inch or two and it gets even better.

I vaguely recall the Atlantique because Series 2 of Top Gear UK actually did a drag race with the 911, Venturi, C5 Vette, Honda NSX, and a Jag.

Because it was 2003 and they were all still around. Only reason I know.

I love me some Venturi’s. I also prefer the Atl an tique 300 to the 400GT.

 I remember the Atlantique being a poor substitute for Ferrari and Lamborghini in the PS1 era Gran Turismo.
