It’s starting to look retro-futuristic at this point. Nice.

What is that blue car? Why does that lancia look off?

Nissan R390. Because the engine’s in the wrong place.

Nissan R390.

The Lancia does look oddly truncated, doesn’t it?

It makes no sense that Ford put this engine in a Mustang in order to homologate it instead of the Torino where is should have been, but sometimes doing it wrong turns out right.

A while back the someone asked “What is the best automotive term?”. I saw the post late, but I have to say homologoation is the best term. I posted my response late, and I don’t think anyone saw it.

I vividly remember leafing through the local “Wheels Deals” used car advertising pamphlet back when I was in high school (pre-internet days) and seeing a Boss 429 for sale for the unbelievably high price of $10k.

I don’t like these late 90s GT1 road cars as much as I used to. While they look incredible, they aren’t really usable in the real world and end up sitting in garages.

Porsche 917 is quite good example of making a very extreme race car in surprisingly high quantities. 25 was required for the homologation for Gr5 but they ended making twice the amount before finally retiring 917.

I love the 917

A guy in my village had a 993 GT2. He made his money importing electronics, but someday he disappeared quickly, I guess his business wasn’t kosher. I loved the car though. He had some minor work done on it at my fathers shop.

This might be a good opportunity to ask; are these two some of the last homologation specials ever, if at all?
