10 MODERN CARS IN RETRO-DESIGN

One glance at the history of the automotive industry is enough for modern car designers to draw inspiration when creating a new model. However, in most cases, only fleeting touches are taken from retro cars, but in the modern automotive industry there are also relatively new cars that impress with their frank retro forms. Now we will show you 10 of these cars.

Golden Spirit room

According to the history of this model, it appears as a sketch of a napkin and from that moment to this day the design remains the same. The car is built on the Mercury Cougar chassis, but its appearance resembles the cars of the 20s of the last century.

Mitsuoka Himiko

Technologically, this car is actually no different from the Mazda Miata, but the designers decided to “dress” it in a rather retro fur coat. The wheelbase is slightly widened and the body panels are styled after the Jaguar XK120. In fact, we are not sure if the final product is correct.

Toyota FJ Cruiser

This is a great SUV that sells especially well in the aftermarket today. But most FJ Cruiser owners like it not because of its retro shapes, but because of them. This car is no longer in production, but it can compete with the Wrangler.

Subaru Impreza White House

Casa Blanca's style is awful and amazing at the same time. Neither the front nor the rear lives up to Subaru's name, but Casa Blanca is the product of Fuji Heavy Industries' desperate pursuit of a new modern Japanese retro car from the late 1990s.

Cumberford Martinique

Did you know that this car was announced for sale after its creation and for an amount of 2,9 million dollars? It is powered by a 7 horsepower BMW 174er engine and Citroen's famous air suspension. There is only one such vehicle in motion today, and although relatively new, it is considered a collector's item.

Ford Thunderbird

Why does the company decide to mass-produce such a car? Because, although it is rare among marketers, there are car enthusiasts. They risk huge investments, thinking that this is something different and will be liked by the general public. As a result, the model turns out to be a mistake and does not justify the money spent on its creation.

Nissan Figaro

Figaro was born under the slogan "Back to the Future" and was released in a limited edition of 8000 copies. However, it turns out that the interest in the car is greater and the series has been increased to 12. But even then the number of people wishing to get Nissan Figaro turned out to be more, and it comes to selling certain units by lottery.

Stutz Bearcat II

The second coming of the Stutz Bearcat features a heavily redesigned Pontiac Firebird suspension as well as a powerful 5,7-liter Corvette engine. A total of 13 units of the model were produced, two of which were immediately bought by the Sultan of Brunei. This fact alone is enough to get an idea of ​​what buyers the exotic Stutz Bearcat II is made for.

Hongqi L7

Our unique rating cannot do without the Chinese automotive product Hongqi (translated as a red flag). Hongqi is one of the oldest car manufacturers in China and the only one to make cars for China's political elite. Last year, two such cars were presented to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko and even took part in the May 9 parade.

Packard Twelve

Whenever we think of the iconic American brand Packard, beautiful retro cars from the first half of the last century come to mind. The car in the photo appeared in 1999, has an 8,6-liter V12 Falconer Racing Engines engine and a GM 4L80E automatic transmission and, despite its pronounced retro form, accelerates from 100 to 4,8 in XNUMX seconds.
