The 1989 PORSCHE 930 ‘SLANTNOSE’ story begins with Norbert Singer’s development of a race car using the 930 Turbo. After Kremer Racing offered a conversion kit, TAG owner Mansour Ojjeh commissioned Porsche to develop a road-legal version of the 935 race car. The ‘Flachbau’ or 'Slantnose' was introduced as a ‘Special Request Program’ from 1986 to 1989 using the 930 body and a restyled front nose which with a 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-6 engine, enabled it to accelerate from 0–97 km/h in 4.85 seconds reaching a top speed of 278 km/h. All this packaged into a limited number of 948 units and you can imagine the price!

The 1992 PORSCHE 964 was designed by Benjamin Dimson and built between 1989 & 1994. Its main aesthetic feature was a pair of integrated bumpers and was the first time Porsche would offer a tiptronic transmission and all-wheel drive. The car initially came out with a ‘Design 90’ rim but in 1992, after the Cup Car had been produced in 1990 for the Porsche Carrera Cup, a ‘Cup Wheel’ became available. Both Carrera 2 & 4 models came in a coupe, targa and cabriolet. A 3.6litre flat 6 M64 engine was used which gave it a top speed of 261 km/h, reaching 100km/h in around 6 seconds. It was considered to be 85% mechanically redesigned compared to its predecessor with new coil springs instead of torsion bars, power steering and ABS brakes added for the first time. For me this car, still today stands as one of the best driver cars ever!

The 1983 MASERATI MERAK SS, designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro, was a lightweight, more powerful model released in 1976, 3yrs after the basic model debuted. It featured a 50kg(110 lb) weight reduction and a 30 PS power increase to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp) due to the adoption of three larger 44 DCNF 44 carburettors and a higher 9:1 compression ratio to its longitudinally mounted V6 engine. The SS is specifically recognizable by its black grille between the pop-up headlights but also shares its nose with the previous, more expensive ‘Bora’. Guigiaro introduced to flying buttresses to visually extend the tail after removing the fastback by abruptly ending the cabin with a vertical rear window and a flat horizontal engine cover. Only 1000 units of the SS had been made by 1983, when it was discontinued.

The 1961 JAGUAR E-TYPE said by Enzo Ferrari to be ‘the most beautiful car ever made’, was a British sports car manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975. An icon of the motoring world still today, the E-Type claimed a 241 km/h (150mph) top speed, under 7 sec 0 to 60 mph acceleration, unitary construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering and independent front and rear suspension. Based on Jaguar's D-Type racing car, which had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three consecutive years, it employed a novel racing design principle with a front subframe carrying the engine, front suspension and front bodywork bolting directly onto the body tub. No ‘ladder frame’ chassis, as was common at the time, was needed and as such the first cars weighed just 1315kg (2900 lb)! (drawn 20July'20)

The 1990 BMW 325is was a sports car commonly known as the Evo 1 created by BMW South Africa. It replaced the 2.5 litre 126 kW 325i in Group N production car racing as a response to the introduction of the new Opel Kadett 2 litre 16V to the Class A category. Launched in the first half of 1990, it was powered by an Alpina-fettled, 2.7 litre M20 engine which produced 145 kW (194 hp). Aluminum doors, fenders and a bonnet were fitted with the 5-stud race-tuned suspension from the European BMW E30 M3 which was not sold in South Africa. In 1991 BMW South Africa was pushed further to introduce the 325iS Evolution HP, commonly referred to as the Evo 2 to rival the upgraded Opel Kadett 16V SUPERBoss. The motor was upgraded to produce 155 kW (208 hp) and went on to win the Group N Class A title in 1993, winning 20 of the 24 races and setting several lap records in the process.

The 2003 996 PORSCHE GT3 RS MK2 is a second generation of the lightweight variant to the original 996 car developed by Pinky Lai under Porsche design chief Harm Lagaay. The GT3 RS was far more track-focused than the GT3 and featured a polycarbonate rear window, carbon fibre hood and rear wing apart from engine mods, suspension and brake upgrades which resulted in the cars being a whole 3mm lower. Only 140 right hand drive cars were ever built for which automobile magazines claim it could accelerate from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in about 4.3 seconds topping out at around 306 km/h (190 mph). Interestingly it completed a lap of the Nürburgring in 7:43 which was 4 seconds faster than the 996 GT2! (drawn 3Jun'20)

The CHEVROLET CORVETTE C1 designed by Harvey Earl, is one of the first generation of Corvette sports cars produced by Chevrolet from 1953 through 1962 for which the 1961, illustrated here, was the last year of contrasting paint colours in cove areas and the first of the four round tail light tradition. It is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation. It is known to have been rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalise on the enthusiastic public reaction from the concept vehicle, but expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled. Long known as "America's sports car," it actually holds the title for the longest-running continuously produced passenger car! (drawn 9May'20)

The BMW M3 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) is the limited edition version of the 1,383 cars that were produced in 2004. It was available in only two colours being silver grey metallic and black sapphire metallic. The emphasis was put on reducing weight where they managed to make it 110kg lighter than the regular M3. The top speed was electronically limited to 250km/h as standard, but buyers with a current motorsport license could order the CSL with the speed limiter removed!

The 1974 LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH LP400 rolled off the assembly line backed off the back of a bet. Ferruccio let Wallace take the prototype on an epic road trip to see the Targa Florio and then return to company headquarters at Sant’Agata. If the car could make it, Lamborghini would build it. Designed by Marcello Gandini, it was the first production car to use scissor doors.

The 1984 AUDI SPORT ‘quattro’s existence is entirely owed to a single-minded quest for world rally domination. After the original Quattro proved less maneuverable around tight rally circuits, they decided to shorten it smooth the bold fenders and bumpers, add hood vents & make a lighter body from aluminium and carbon-Kevlar together with a new turbocharged engine. Only 214 production cars were produced between March 1984 and January 1986.
