With a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of just under eight seconds, it just isn’t fast. Many driving enthusiasts were disappointed, which translated to low sales.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Lancer GT<\/h2>\n The biggest problem with the Lancer GT is that it looks almost identical to the mighty Evo X, which makes most automobile fans think it’s very fast. However, it’s not. Even though it has a similar design and a front and rear spoiler, the Lancer GT has a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing only 168 HP.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car Pixel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe 0 to 60 mph time is more than eight seconds, which is ridiculously slow compared to the similar-looking Evo X, which can do it in less than five.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact the Mondial was more practical and somewhat less expensive, it wasn’t particularly popular. Today, it’s a rare poorly-regarded model from Ferrari.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Mans Fine Life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nProduction was ended in 1993 after Ferrari made close to 5,000 Mondials. Most of the cars had a 3.2-liter V8 with 214 HP and a 0 to 60 mph time of 8.2 seconds, embarrassing for Ferrari even in the early ‘80s.<\/p>\n

They designed and produced it in cooperation with Volkswagen, so they sometimes called it the VW-Porsche 914. Behind the driver is a Volkswagen-derived flat-four engine with around 100 HP.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Road And Track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt doesn’t sound like much, but despite its low weight, this Porsche wasn’t a sports car. It looked like one since it was produced by a notable sports car company with the engine in the back. But unfortunately, anyone could beat it with basically any V8 family sedan.<\/p>\n

Honda CRZ<\/h2>\n When Honda presented it in 2010, the CRZ was an innovative compact hybrid-powered coupe that looked like the spiritual successor to the legendary CRX. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even close, with a 1.5-liter engine pumping out barely 130 HP.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Auto Trader<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlong with the heavy hybrid add-ons, the CRZ was slow and didn’t handle as it should. Needless to say, fans were disappointed.<\/p>\n

Porsche 911 S<\/h2>\n Back in the late ’70s, the Porsche 911 was already a widely-recognized sports car benchmark and a popular choice for enthusiasts all over the world. But despite looking fast, the regular models were slow. Surprisingly slow, to be precise.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Fav Cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe 1977 911 S, which a more upscale version of the basic car delivered 165 HP and a 0 to 60 mph time of 8.5 seconds. For a Porsche, this was alarmingly slow.<\/p>\n

Mazda managed to introduce a perfectly-balanced design that incorporates sports dynamics with the elegance of a sedan by utilizing discrete chrome inserts and a powerful fender line.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car and Driver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is why most non-car people think this is a fast car. Unfortunately, it’s just not. It is a family transport designed to be comfortable and safe, but not fast nor exciting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: The Car Connection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n28. Toyota Celica<\/h2>\n Toyota produced the Celica for decades as an affordable coupe built on a regular car platform. This meant that the Celica looked different, sporty, and fast, but it wasn’t much faster than a Camry or Corolla from the same model year.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: W Super Cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe last-generation Celica was a sharp-looking coupe with a wedge shape and low silhouette suggesting big performance, but it didn’t deliver on that hype. It produced only 180 HP with a 0 to 60 mph time of 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Lexus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n27. Lexus CT 200 H<\/h2>\n Lexus insists it’s a brand that can beat the German carmakers in the luxury game. And sure enough, it’s tried to do so. However, sometimes failure is obvious like in the case of the CT 200 H. Lexus marketed it as a premium compact hatch with a performance edge.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Lexus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut the CT 200 H is little more than a Prius in fancy clothes. It’s painfully slow, dull, and embarrassing at the stoplight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Motor 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Mazda RX8<\/h2>\n The RX8 was an interesting car when it was introduced, not only for its Wankel engine but for its unusual four-door\/four-seat configuration. However, despite having up to 280 HP from its rotary engine, it wasn’t as fast as Mazda hoped.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Tea Hub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSimply put, the engine didn’t provide much torque for convincing acceleration times and the car wasn’t nearly as light as it should be. Fans called RX8 a disappointment. It’s hardly a surprise that Mazda discontinued the model and didn’t produce a replacement.<\/p>\n

Mercedes SLK 200<\/h2>\n When you look at Mercedes SLK, it looks almost identical to the bigger and much more powerful SL model and even a bit similar to AMG GT or SLS supercars. However, when you step on the throttle, it is nothing like those thoroughbred machines.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Auto Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe SLK 200 has 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine with just 185 which isn’t able to deliver any real performance credentials to this roadster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car Buyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Mazda Miata<\/h2>\n Small roadsters are among most car enthusiasts’ favorite types of cars, especially the classic Miata. The Miata’s secret was simplicity, light weight, and balance. Mazda didn’t try to invent something new. They just copied the basic concept of a classic British roadster. They then added modern materials and design and made the whole thing reliable and agile.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Mazda Roseville<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWith a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 155 HP, the Miata isn’t fast but doesn’t necessarily need to be. Its driving dynamics, rev-happy engine, and perfect balance make this car joy to drive, even if it isn’t the fastest thing on the road.<\/p>\n

It was a good-looking, inexpensive, and exciting car to own. At least Hyundai marketed it as such.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUnder the body was a regular Hyundai chassis and running gear with a 2.0-liter, 140 HP engine and a 172 HP engine as an option. Either way, it wasn’t fast or particularly rewarding to drive, so it was a total disappointment as a result.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Auto Cart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Fisker Karma<\/h2>\n The original Tesla-fighter, the Fisker Karma is now a discontinued electric vehicle. Arguably, far cooler and better looking than the Model S, the Karma wasn’t that fast. Also, it had a short range, so it wasn’t popular.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: La Times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd it was expensive, which didn’t help with sales either. With a 0 to 60 mph time of five seconds, it isn’t necessarily slow, but it is slower than the Model S and other electric vehicles known for their quick acceleration figures.<\/p>\n

Lamborghini Urraco<\/h2>\n You might be surprised to find a proper Lamborghini on this list, but just look at the specs of this 1970s wonder. The mid-mounted 2.0-liter V8 with 180 HP was capable of reaching 60 mph in 7.5 seconds.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Urraco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCompared to later models and other well-known Lamborghini supercars, that’s not very good. Fortunately, the Urraco stayed in the ‘70s and they only made about 700 of them even though they looked good.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it is not.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Hot Cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt’s a muscle car, but with 140 HP and 0 to 60 mph times of around 10 seconds, it is an embarrassment to the Mustang.<\/p>\n

But somehow it wasn’t as fast or as sharp as drivers wanted it to be.<\/p>\n

It featured modern styling with improved aerodynamics. The new Camaro was new on the inside as well, with a better suspension and new engines.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHowever, people expected highly-improved performance. But Chevrolet introduced a base engine in the form of an anemic 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine producing just 90 HP. It was an embarrassing choice since the car had a 20-second 0 to 60 acceleration time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Hagerty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n17. 1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3<\/h2>\n In 1970, the hottest Corvette produced 435 HP, and in 1980, the hottest Corvette delivered a modest 180 HP. But in California, it was 10 HP less due to stricter emission standards. So, what happened in just 10 years and where did those horses go?<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Concept Carz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe recession, emission standards, and safety regulations killed almost all the performance from the legendary Corvette. The 1980 Corvette was a dinosaur with old technology under its plastic skin, a lazy engine, and an outdated interior. It still looked like it meant business, but the years caught up with it and the disco era has passed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Vehiclejar Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n16. BMW M3 E30<\/h2>\n When most people think of BMW performance, they think of the “M” class cars. But among the dozens of models that wore the M badge, the M3 E30 is the most iconic. BMW produced the model from 1985-1992. The E30 M3 was a homologation special which they designed to compete in the European Touring Car Championship.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: BMW M<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe heart of the E30 M3 was the S14 straight-four engine with 2.3-liters of displacement, 195 HP and later 215 HP. The acceleration figures weren’t that great at around seven seconds to 60 mph. And in modern terms, this car is slow, even though it handles like dream and is a blast to drive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car and Driver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n15. Subaru BRZ<\/h2>\n This little sports coupe comes with a signature flat-four engine that delivers 205 HP out 2.0-liters. The BRZ is a light and nimble coupe, but the secret is in the engine’s position. Since Subaru uses a flat-four engine, the center of gravity is lower than with those regular inline four-cylinder motors.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Cars Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis makes the BRZ easier to handle. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes 6.7 seconds, which slow compared to other models featuring far better acceleration with their turbocharged engines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car Advice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n14. Hyundai Veloster<\/h2>\n Despite its aggressive looks, dual-clutch transmission, and overall appeal as a fast car, the Veloster is a sluggish ride. It has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 128 HP.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car Advice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is not enough for any real performance and 0 to 60 mph takes 11 seconds, which is ridiculously slow. Don’t be fooled by the Veloster’s looks and go by the stats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car and Driver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Scion TC<\/h2>\n This car was Toyota’s attempt to produce a youthful, sporty coupe with good looks and some performance. However, it failed miserably in all those fields. It wasn’t particularly good-looking or sporty.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car and Driver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlso, with its 2.4-liter, 179 HP engine it wasn’t fast. The 0 to 60 mph time took over seven seconds, which is unimpressive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Gran Turismo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Toyota Supra Mk3<\/h2>\n Despite the famous name, relatively powerful engines and sports car construction, the Mk3 generation of the Toyota Supra wasn’t fast. In fact, it was quite slow compared to other similar cars from the period.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEspecially embarrassing was the 3.0-liter naturally aspirated version with the automatic transmission that went to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Mecum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Z\/28<\/h2>\n The 1977 Z\/28 Camaro was an important model for the breed since it marked the return of the Z\/280 package. Also, it had a slight power increase over the standard models. The 350 V8 delivered 170 HP, which was respectable in 1977.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Gta5 Mods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut of course, that performance was just a shadow of what Camaro was capable of just several years before it. In fact, a 0 to 60 mph sprint took nine seconds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Fav Cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n10. Ford Capri<\/h2>\n The success of the Mustang made it highly influential, inspiring American car brands to offer a pony car of their own. Even in Europe, the Mustang was popular and common. However, Ford wanted to explore the market further with a smaller European version. That’s how the Ford Capri came to be in 1969.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Auto Evolution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDesigned in the UK, the Capri was a European Mustang in every way. Using the “long hood-short deck” formula and semi-fastback styling, the Capri looked great. Although they based it on the standard Cortina and used the same engine, the Capri looked like a thoroughbred muscle car. In fact, most people thought it was a U.S.-built Ford. However, most Capris were powered by diminutive four-cylinder engines. Even the six-cylinder versions were not that powerful, even for fastbacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Consumer Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n9. Plymouth Volare Roadrunner<\/h2>\n Back in 1976, Plymouth introduced the Volare. It was a successful mid-size model they produced in many variants and exported worldwide. Also, it was the twin to the Dodge Aspen featuring a rear-wheel-drive platform. And it came with a wide arrangement of engines and sleek designs. Both Dodge and Plymouth had successful muscle models in the past.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Hot Rod<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSo the heritage was still strong when they introduced the Volare. This was the perfect platform for a muscle car if it weren’t for the grueling emissions and safety regulations killing the performance. But, Plymouth tried and presented the Volare Road Runner that featured a 316 V8 engine delivering a measly 160 HP. However, what it lacked in the performance department the Volare Road Runner compensated in looks. And it had a full body kit with a spoiler. It even came with a cool graphics package and sports wheels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Hagerty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n8. Opel GT<\/h2>\n In the late ’60s, Opel, the German brand, was one of the most popular economy car manufacturers in Europe. Since General Motors owned the company, its design department approved and even styled all of the Opel models. That meant that most Opels looked like scaled-down versions of Chevrolets or Buicks. That was exactly the case with the GT, a sporty-yet-affordable coupe Opel presented in 1968.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Amazon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOpel needed a sports car to base on the Kadett, its entry-level model. So in the mid-’60s, Opel got approval from GM to introduce such a vehicle. The design was heavily influenced by the Corvette and the GM concepts from the mid-’60s. Of course, with its 1.3 and 1.9-liter four-cylinder engines, the Opel GT lacked the power and performance of the Corvette, but it had the looks with its fastback rear end.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n7. 1975 Chevrolet Vega Cosworth<\/h2>\n After the debacle of the Chevrolet Corvair in the ’60s, they were reluctant to enter the compact market again. But since the segment had grown, Chevrolet didn’t have a choice. So, they revealed the new Chevrolet Vega as a 1971 model. The Vega was a compact, modernly-styled model. And it came in three basic body types, a two-door coupe, a two-door sedan, and a three-door wagon.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Mecum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe front end resembled closely the design of the 1971 Camaro with a similar grille, headlights and bumper. But in 1975, Chevrolet introduced the interesting although not as successful Vega Cosworth model. It featured a high revving 2.0-liter four-cylinder twin-cam motor producing 110 HP. Although it wasn’t particularly fast or strong, the Vega Cosworth was attractive with its interesting black and gold paint and unique wheels. They produced the model in cooperation with the British engine engineering company Cosworth famous for their Formula One engines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: MotorTrend<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n6. Citroen SM<\/h2>\n One of the coolest-looking, most exclusive Citroens ever produced was the gorgeous SM, debuting in 1970. This elegant coupe had some interesting features. When Citroen presented it to the public, it made the competition look and feel outdated. Through various stock market transactions, the company became the owner of Maserati. Citroen thought it would be great if they could somehow use Maserati’s powerful engines and sports car know-how to produce a luxurious coupe with signature Citroen design and style.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Citroen Vie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe aesthetics were clearly French with its self-leveling suspension and front-wheel drive. But instead of the underpowered four-cylinder engine, they added the 2.7-liter V6 Maserati engine, providing the power. Citroen marketed the SM in the USA, selling more examples than in Europe. In America, the SM competed against the Mercedes SLC or Cadillac Eldorado in the personal luxury segment. Soon, car buyers praised its ride quality, smooth engine, and style. Unfortunately, the oil crisis and economic recession killed the model. Citroen ceased production in 1974 after producing more than 12,000 examples.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Render Hub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n5. Audi 100 Coupe<\/h2>\n Virtually unknown to U.S. car enthusiasts, the Audi 100 Coupe was an elegant, front-wheel-drive model. Audi produced it from 1969, selling it throughout 1976. Audi based it on its biggest model, adding a totally different fastback coupe body. Since they left the mechanics unchanged, the 100 Coupe didn’t have much performance. The power came from a rather anemic 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Car Pixel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHowever, the main thing about this car was its appearance, because the 100 Coupe looked much more upscale and expensive than it really was. With four headlights, a sporty silhouette, and chrome trim, buyers considered the Audi 100 Coupe to be an upscale proposition on the European market.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Auto Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n4. 1977 Chevrolet Monza Mirage<\/h2>\n Chevrolet presented the Monza in 1975 as their newest compact model. It came with a modern design, updated equipment and a wide arrange of versions and trim levels. The Monza succeeded the Vega, selling well in the U.S., as well as abroad. However, the lack of a performance version was evident since the compact, relatively light platform could benefit from a powerful engine. But Chevrolet didn’t think a performance or muscle car version would have a big market, so they didn’t bother developing it. However, Chevy contracted an outside company, Michigan Auto Techniques, to make a muscle car Monza for 1977. They called it the Monza Mirage, and they produced only 4,000 of them. The Mirage featured a 305 V8 with just 145 HP.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Wallpaper Up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe design was quite striking with a white body, front and rear spoilers, and special wheels. The paint scheme was patriotic with red, blue and white stripes all over the body. But Chevrolet realized there was still a market for sporty variants. So they decided to introduce the Monza Spyder for 1978. This left Michigan Auto Techniques without a contract for 1978, sending the Monza Mirage to the automotive history books. Today, only a handful have survived, so if you find one, try to restore it since it’s a rare, forgotten muscle car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Hot Rod<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n3. Ford Mustang Cobra<\/h2>\n The 1979 model year brought several major improvements to the Mustang range. First, they presented a new model featuring a modern design, updated chassis, and wider track. Second, they introduced an interesting performance version called the Cobra.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Ford Authority<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlthough not as powerful or crazy as those Cobra Jets of before, the 1979 Cobra featured a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine with 140 HP. And although this was pathetic even by the standards of the day, it was a step in the right direction. In fact, it helped the American performance market finally start to recover.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Sjr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n2. Bricklin SV-1<\/h2>\n The SV-1 was the brainchild of automotive entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin. He produced just 3,000 of them in Canada from 1974 to 1975. But for a short while, they marketed the SV-1 as the best, most advanced American sports car. But as soon as the first cars started rolling down the assembly line, it was clear the SV-1 was not as good as drivers anticipated it would be.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Mecum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe idea was to produce a safe and fast sports car as the name SV-1, which stood for Safety Vehicle One, suggested. Bricklin designed the car with big bumpers, warning sensors, and power Gullwing doors. Although it didn’t have any cigarette lighters, it had an integrated roll cage and lots of other things. Unfortunately, all those extras made it heavy and not agile. The power came from a 360 AMC V8 engine, which wasn’t powerful. Even though the company later turned to the 351 Ford V8, it still couldn’t deliver any real performance numbers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Automobile Mag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n1. Pontiac Fiero<\/h2>\n The Pontiac Fiero was the most advanced American production model according to the standards of the day. The customers were hyped by the appearance of the Fiero with its cool and modern design. Thanks to the advanced technology, the initial response was more than good.<\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Automobile Mag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt was a bold move for Pontiac to introduce such a compact, rear-wheel-drive car with the engine behind the driver. But then they paired it up with a five-speed manual transaxle gearbox. However, one of the Fiero’s main problems was that it was too slow. With just 93 HP and a 0 to 60 mph time of over 10 seconds, it was painfully slow.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
