I have 3 candidates, none of them will be air cooled Porsche or viper level sought after, but I think will be cult classics in their own realm. 1992-1997 Subaru SVX. The first thing you notice is the window in a window design that might make you think of the DeLorean. Both cars were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The SVX had a flat six cylinder motor giving a low center of gravity. And though it wasn’t a sports car at heart, more a GT cruiser, comfortable, quiet, refined, especially compared with the other Subarus of that period. Panoz roadster and panoz esparante. Both two seat open roadsters, with Ford V8 power. They weren’t shockingly fast, but very entertaining to drive, and undervalued today. 2004-2008 Noble and Rossion. Classified as an “assembled vehicle”, they were produced by Hi-Tech Engineering in South Africa (the same manufacturer that produces Superformance Cobras and GT-40s) and shipped to the US where a twin turbocharged 3 liter Ford V6 was installed. The motors produced between 400 and 500 hp in a car that weighed 2500 lbs. performance that can be had for far less $ for other similarly performing cars.
