From a performance perspective what cars were ahead of their time?

I'll start with NSX and Audi RS2

 

[pdisme]

Jaguar XJ220, although we should probably set a minimum number produced to qualify; there were only a few hundred of them.

NSU RO80

[zebekias]

Future car enthusiasts will look back to the R35 GTR and conclude that it was way ahead of its time.

 

[mc_h]

Beetle.

 

[MindlessOath]

RS200
300zx tt

 

[equisch3x]

BMW 850i... Last generation Supra... and all the R3X's

 

[Urban]

Mitsubishi Starion worth a mention?

 

[Raydius]

Mitsubishi Starion worth a mention?

Maybe by aesthetics alone? Those were awesome flares and concave stock wheels but the motor was pretty awful, and rightfully overshadowed by the Eclipse in its later years when the models overlapped.

chevy turbo sprint which I think had a suzuki engine in it. My friend got one that was ten years old with like 1000 miles on the clock. 3 cylinder turbo that got 45 miles to the gallon in 1988 and would dust the civic EF. Probably weighed less than 1500 pounds.

Honda Insight?

 

[jmunjr]

Model T lol....
