Coolest Cars Of The 70s

Ja.. Vad skulle du välja ifrån 70-talet då?
Helt fritt.. Behöver inte vara något ifrån denna listan.

Jag vill nog säga Stratos…

Men 70-talet hade så många fina Italienare ju..
Countach.. Pantera..
Och sen då Porsche 2.7 RS..

Äh jag väljer nog Porschen.

The edgy and inexpensive Fiat ( later sold as a Bertone) X1/9 allowed regular folks to own an Italian exotic penned by Gandini. The X1/9 was built from the shared parts of other Fiat cars (the engine came from the 128 Coupe, for instance), which kept the price down. Not surprisingly, then, the X1/9 certainly wasn't as quick as it looked; the trip to 60 mph took between 10 and 13 seconds depending on the year. But the handling of the little Targa-roofed sports car was sublime thanks in part to its feathery weight—just under a ton.It's rare to see a X1/9 out in the wild today, but if you do, the size will blow you away. This car was tiny. The X1/9 was such a novel idea it encouraged other manufacturers to develop inexpensive wedge cars like the Toyota MR2 and the Pontiac Fiero.In the 1950s, Saab built a handful of cars, called Sonett I, with a new racing series in mind. When the race rules changed, Saab built another Sonett (II) that would come in the 1960s as a mass-produced sports car. The Sonett was an odd car to be sure. And when management wanted to spark sales at the start of the 1970s without expensive re-engineering—they turned to Italy for a wedge.Italian designer Sergio Coggiola, under the constraints of using most of the old car, succeeded in making the new one look more modern. The resulting Sonett III had the pointed nose and the pop-up headlamps. But that pokey Ford-sourced V-4 and front-wheel drive still made the Sonett a tough sell for traditional sports car buyers.The Pantera was De Tomaso's most successful and famous supercar. Unlike just about every Italian sports car born in the early 1970s, it was designed by an American—Tom Tjaarda. The Pantera wasn't as low as some of the cars on this list and didn't have quite the extreme angularity. Perhaps as a result, its lines have aged well.Under the hood of the mid-engined Pantera is another American surprise: a Ford 351-cid Cleveland V-8. And because Panteras were sold through Lincoln-Mercury dealers and each component on the car carried a Ford part number, servicing Panteras wasn't particularly difficult then or now. The later GT5 cars in the '80s grew wings and flares in an attempt to appeal to those looking for a budget Lamborghini. In total, about 5000 Panteras came to the U.S., and today they remain one of the best supercar values.

The Esprit sprang from a 1972 Italdesign concept of the same name done by legendary designer Giorgetto Guigiaro—the man also responsible for wedges including the BMW M1, numerous Maseratis, and the DeLorean DMC-12. The Esprit was a lightweight sports car so pure, sharp, and purposeful that it looked like it could rival the performance of anything from Ferrari or Lamborghini.In truth, the original Esprit, with its normally aspirated four-cylinder, was a little slow. Yet that didn't stop it from becoming a two-time Bond car, first in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me (in which it turned into a submarine) and again in 1981's For Your Eyes Only. By the mid 1980s, Lotus fixed the horsepower deficit with the Turbo model, making them quick enough to hit 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

The name is an Italian expletive. The Miura was inarguably prettier, but the Countach seemed far more impossible. And impossible always wins.The movie was equal parts fluff and camp, and the car was nothing special. But if you were born in America, you desperately want to jump it over a downed bridge with a young Sally Field in the right seat."The Stratos was a monster, but it was, at the same time, easy to understand." —Sandro MunariFord V8, ZF five-speed, basically a GT40 for the middle class. Knocked as a redneck supercar, but a good one is more riot than you'll ever need.Dodge Daytona / Plymouth Superbird: Mopar Street/Track siblings with absurd power and functional NASCAR aero. All-day 200-mph insanity.

Mitt val faller på en 240z. Jag har även alltid gillat Panteran.

Panteran var den första supersportbil som jag åkte tror jag.. Farsan hade en väldigt speciell sådan när jag gick i lågstadiet.. Och det satte sej =)
