Most famous for being more aerodynamic when going backwards. :D

Also - as seen recently in Top Gear, doing a jump over some cars ... backwards. :p

Also - seen all over the place during both series of Life on Mars.

At least it's better than a Nissan Sunny - which Top Gear branded as worst car ever for being not only rubbish, but devoid of any character (as in, crap cars can still be great cars, but not the Sunny).

guess the engineers who desgined it had toked one at lunch then.

"dude, you know what'd be awesome?"

"nah, what man?"

"we should like make this car work better when it's in reverse. that'd be hilarious."

"bro, i am so there with that man. let me get a last hit off that before we go back."

cut to giggling.

Hey! My mate had a Nissan Sunny turbo, which I suspect would see off most so called american sports cars :sneaky:

Hmmm ... round a corner perhaps with a blast of Nitrous and sweet suspension, but not in a straight line, which is what American muscle does best.

Now, a DB9 ... that's what ya want! :) ... ... Well, I do anyway, those are purdy.

You might be surprised what some general american sports cars (from 15-20 years) ago were actually capable of... compared to a super cheap 1.5ltr rice rocket! 0-60 in 8 seconds... Engines 2-3 times the size for little more performance...

Seriously, look at cheap(er) american sports cars around 20 years ago and see what their 0-60s were :)
