56 of the Greatest Sports & Performance Cars of the 1990s

It is fitting that the last car on our best of 90s list is the crazy Callaway C12 Corvette. Introduced in 1998, Callaway’s C12 was a bespoke, high-performance car. The C12 is in no way standard. With aerodynamic bodywork fabricated from fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar™, a massaged aluminum V8 engine, heavily revised suspension, enormous disc brakes and upgraded interior, the C12 is a custom-built American supercar. Very few of these exclusive cars were made

Nissan Pulsar GTi-R. The N14 series also saw the introduction of the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R three-door hatchback (badged as Sunny GTI-R in Europe). This was a homologation variant produced between 1990 and 1994 in order to enter the WRC under Group A rules at that time. It featured the turbocharged 2.0-liter SR20DET engine producing 227 hp and 210 lb·ft. The body is largely the same as the standard N14 three-door model, but distinguished by the large rear wing and scoop.

56 of the Greatest Sports & Performance Cars of the 1990s

The front-wheel drive Honda Integra Type R was one of the sweetest driving and most exciting cars of the 1990s. It had a 1.8-liter four-cylinder VTEC engine that was hand built to produce nearly 200 horsepower. When the Type R’s VTEC system switches to hyper mode it screams to its 195-horsepower peak at 8000 rpm with alacrity. Almost 200 hp from works out to a specific output of 108.5 horses per liter (the Ferrari F355 produces just 107.3 horses per liter).

The third generation RX-7 was only sold in the U.S. and Canada for three years despite a Japanese production from 1992–2002. These were produced in the sixth series and had a body called the JM1FD. All cars had the 252 hp 13B-REW engine with twin oil-coolers, an electric sunroof, cruise control and the rear storage bins in place of the back seats. That 225 horsepower always being on tap and mixed with the exceptional handling cemented the RX-7 as no-compromise sports car

Toyota MR2 Turbo had that Ferrari 355 look about it. The second generation MR2 was fun to drive too. With an upgraded suspension components and set up it just was enjoyable to drive fast. It was relatively fast in a straight line, had great feedback through the steering wheel and even gripped around corners and stayed (mostly) flat when pushed. Motivation for the MR2 Turbo came from a 2 liter turbo four-cylinder engine that was good for 200 hp and 200 lb/ft of torque.

Eunos Cosmo. With the fourth and final generation of Cosmos of 1990, Mazda had incorporated all of its trademark rotary engine technologies with a twist. The Cosmos was the first and only Mazda equipped with a triple-rotor engine with twin-turbocharging. Two displacements of 1.3 (230 hp) or 2.0 were available. The larger engine featured a two stage turbocharger that boosted power to 280. Turbo lag was eliminated with a sequential boost system

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen. Every generation of the Japanese performance legend should be on this list, but our favorite is easily the Evo VI Tommi Makinen. The Evo VI got larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel. Tommi Makinen was the ultimate Evo VI version. It was largely the same as RS with close-ratio 5-speed, lowered ride height, Tommi Mäkinen Edition front bumper, and titanium turbine

Roaring Forties - The Greatest Supercars & Sports Cars of the 1940s

The Jaguar XK120 Arguably setting the standard for sports cars for at least the the coming decade, the Jaguar XK120 teamed aluminium with ash wood frames in early 120s, creating a very light front-engined roadster. Jag were very proud of their creation, shipping journalists and test drivers to Belgium in 1949 where, with some slight aerodynamic mods, an XK120 was seen to reach speeds of 132mph on the flying mile – making it one of the fastest cars of the period.
