Weirdly, I feel like doing some crying today, so post some sports/super/performance cars that you know will never come again, preferably from this millennium.

Note: you’re not actually limited from this millennium. 50's and up should suffice.

The last truly analog sports car to define driving purity. No luxury, no electronic nannies, just simplify and add lightness.

Touring Berlinetta Lusso, based on the F12.

Last Evo

This one I really feel sad to go. Magnanimous car, still delivering even if every other car in its tier that has been released since 2008 can match and surpass it.

The last pre Audi Lamborghini

The R34 wasn’t really the end of an era. But the S14 definitely, definitely wasn’t.

Meh. Aventador SV?

Nauraushaun > wiffleballtony 02/10/2016 at 20:55

Meh. It was bought by Chrysler in ‘87 and sold to Malaysia in ‘94. Hardly a significant era.

Nauraushaun > Flavien Vidal 02/10/2016 at 20:55

Great car. But end of an era? Which era?

The Sera was an oddball, what era did it end?

One of the very last cars with popups!

But was it an era? It was a flash in the pan.

Proper rotary sports car... The RX-Vision will be a 4WD electric car with a buzzing sound and the RX8 is more of a touring car.

Nauraushaun > Flavien Vidal 02/10/2016 at 21:48

Yeah maybe you’re right. But it’s a fine line. The 8 was not quite a 4 door, and the RX7 came in 2+2 configuration too.

Except moving from RWD to almost exclusively AWD.

The era of Toyota spending money on weird products.

Nauraushaun > Sky Higa 02/11/2016 at 01:23

Maybe you’re right. Were there so many weird products before the Sera?

They did go through another 2 generations of MR2 after that. They also built this freak in 1996:

I wouldn’t say they were all weird, but most of the Japanese auto makers produced a lot of cars that were kind of over engineered during the bubble period. Other Toyotas worth mentioning from the late 80's and early 90's are the Mk4 Supra, and the Soarer Aero Cabin with the retractable roof.

The S14 was the last rwd 4 cylinder car from Nissan to be officially sold in the US and Europe. And the replacements for the R34 are meh imo..

Nauraushaun > FSI - alcohol enthusiast with a car problem 02/11/2016 at 03:21

One of the R34 replacements is the ultimate expression of what a Skyline could be! Still a coupe, still AWD, TTV6 all of that. But so much faster.

Nauraushaun > Sky Higa 02/11/2016 at 03:23

True, but I don’t think the Sera was the end of that. There were plenty more during and after, including the Pike cars, the Cube, Subaru’s crazy SVX and the tri-rot Cosmo.

What a time eh

True but the should’ve kept the Skyline name for it.

Nauraushaun > FSI - alcohol enthusiast with a car problem 02/11/2016 at 06:29

I agree. It was a name that never put a foot wrong, I don’t know why they’d shelve it so.

I suppose.
