He might google them. Who knows. This one might be pretty obvious for you europeans or something. I have no idea what the car is. It's pretty damn ugly in my opinion.

tat was easy :?

Ghalos
Jul 13, 2004, 10:36 AM
Yeah, mainly because I own a Probe...hehehe...Ok, this is older, and from a tiny ass manufacturer...gl..

66horsepower...
1,150lbs...the car, not the engine...
and since it's a really older small time car, the engine was made in italy...1,100cc's

that's alot of hints...good luck!

Christ, it's an Abarth Spider Corsa, which I'm guessing is identical...but it's a 207A, so you're right....jesus, thought I'd stump you guys with that. :?

Good Job faisal, your turn.

BTw, i think we need to come up with some newer rules, the game got too hard for alot of people, like, the 207A, it's a car from an exhasut manufacturer!? Anyways, just an idea. :D

I could swear that was a Maserati Quattroporte, but the turbo part just stuffs thing up. And I would've said an ABT AS400 but it's AWD and a V6.

So is it a Triumph TR7?

dude you know your cars well ye...i also think the turbocharger ruins it, if it was supercharged, it could easily be the xks supercharger

SubaruKid37
Jul 26, 2004, 7:03 AM
The jags 4.8 supercharged, dont think they do a 4.2, but anyway, I think the TR7 is a bit old to have 400bhp in a car like that! but i may be wrong...

is it the Audi S6?

M Technik
Jul 26, 2004, 7:05 AM
is it the Audi S6?

I wouldn't think so, all Audi's are either FWD or AWD.

I think it's a Lamborghini engine. They started to mount this engine in 1965 and ended in Countach i belive. But this engines had different amounts of power, from 320 bhp to 365bhp. Since it's a Name that engine game, is that enough?

M Technik
Jul 28, 2004, 6:51 AM
I think it's a Lamborghini engine.

Yeh, you are spt on there, but nope, you have to find what model had the 350bhp of power in the Lamborghini.

Yeh, close enough. It was a Lamborghini Espada 400 GTE. Your go Jacol. SubaruKid37, your thing wasn't counted. I had to guess the car the engine lives in, so that's the way I play the game.
