Episode twenty one of Unsung Heroes, a series on HSG featuring some of the obscure cars from both the concept and mass production world which simply do not get the recognition which they deserve.

Loved it since i first seen it in a paper magazine

@Apexseal1 2 месяца назад

one of the few unsung heros cars that i've actually seen.

@RCKakashi14 6 лет назад

Another Unsung Hero I put on the same pedestal as Porsche: WIESMANN. Wiesmann cars deserve way better exposure, especially in video games.

@mahiru20ten 6 лет назад

Apparently the brand's coming back this year...

@Driff97 6 лет назад

I pretty much love any car that has a Viper engine.

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

In a similar way to the LS engine - its a great basis to work from for an exotic.

@user-hi4sm3ig5j 6 лет назад

That's why the Ram SRT 10 is my favourite truck. Because V10.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARS

Nice

@@HSGAutomotive have you featured Jiotto Caspita? Thats an unsung hero with an interesting story!

innotech It’s on my list yeah

@Ben_Mayall 6 лет назад

I suggest two cars for this. The Spyker C8 and the Mercedes R63 AMG. There’s a R63 for sale on AutoTrader UK at the moment and less than 500 were produced worldwide and it was only made for 1 Model year

@timithy133 6 лет назад

Ben Mayall I love the R63 all the ones that are for sale here in the US have way too many miles on them

@Ben_Mayall 6 лет назад

555 the one for sale here has 140,000 miles on it

@TheChilo61 6 лет назад

Ahhh.. takes me back to the days where id look at the stats of supercars in the back of top gear mags... ooo look this has as many cc as the veyron! XD

TheChilo61 Haha yep! I still do that in RIVALS xD

Reminds me of a modern take on the 1965 Griffith Series 200

@Isegawa2001 6 лет назад

You know what'd be awesome? A Rolls-Royce Wraith GT3. Just imagine. A big, bulky, heavy car, made into a race machine.

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

Yeah for sure. There have been occasional RR competition vehicles, but mostly for vintage rally, and I would LOVE to see something like that to take on the Bentley CGT3.

@ProTuneHD 6 лет назад

Surprised you did a video on this, it’s one of my top 5 favourite cars ever, shame they didn’t made the fighter t

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

Pro Tune Race Club Nice choice, and yeah it is a shame. Also a shame that no racing game has ever featured it according to IGCD

@Happymali10 5 лет назад

May got turned down because they worried that he'd do something stupid with the car on Top Gear, or that it would be shown in a bad light there. They offered him to re-apply should he ever leave the show.

@officialpennsyjoe 6 лет назад

Cheers to mentioning Marcos! But this car looks really great and wonder if it ever raced in some leagues?

@mahiru20ten 6 лет назад

Marcos also deserves it. I played the Mantis in TOCA Race Driver 3 and it was quite tough... and the Mini Marcos looks like a nice pocket rocket.

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

Joseph Szachor I’m a big Marcos fan, especially the Mini Marcos, Mantis and TSO GT2.

@lisaarmstrong5461 6 лет назад

1965 Griffith Series 200 small car big engine very similar in nature see Hemmings Muscle Machines issue #114

@manufernandes3190 6 лет назад

Next time in unsung hero can you do Toyota 222d group s rally prototype or Mercedes Benz c111 concept

@Happymali10 5 лет назад

In my opinion, the roof could've been a bit lower. Also, the front reminds me of the old Celica.

@EpicB 6 лет назад

The design reminds me of a Ginetta. It's a shame they apparently didn't produce any Fighter Ts. I remember hearing about the Fighter T way back in 2007 but that was it. I'm curious what the gearing is like on the 4 speed automatic (No doubt taller than a skyscraper even if it can't go as fast as the manual), or if they even sold any Fighters with the automatic.

@JonnyJayJonson 3 года назад

One automatic made, it's the dark red one.

@nigeldorman414 2 года назад

@@JonnyJayJonson there’s 2 dark red ones. Reg’s WR55FLY and W888MPH

@JonnyJayJonson 2 года назад

@@nigeldorman414, you're right! I didn't know that... I just looked them both up on the UK gov't MOT checker, W888MPH is currently SORN after failing its test, just over a year ago... wonder if it'll be made roadworthy again?

@nigeldorman414 2 года назад

@@JonnyJayJonson 🤣 I’ve just done exactly the same thing!! I went to the concours of elegance at Hampton court palace in September and I was gobsmacked when I saw WR55FLY just sat there in the car park outside. It’s one of those cars I never thought I’d ever see in real life, not of a unicorn car, but there it was, and the owner is obviously using it which is amazing

@stephanefarnes6398 2 года назад

I have worked on one one of these and driven one of these and the fininish was terrible disappointingly

@thatcornfedrx8guy372 6 лет назад

The types of people to call cars with autos wack are the ones behind the screens at home in their mums basement. I saw a Supra with a beefed up engine and it had a auto and my friends dissed him I like what the owner did to his car just doesn't make sense for my friends to do that but what ever xD

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A Yeah people like to hate for the sake of it. I’ve always loved autos, and when done right they can be awesome.

@user-hi4sm3ig5j 6 лет назад

I like this car, but the proportions are all wrong, and it looks awful. Good thing it's interesting and fast enough for me to overlook that. Edit: Actually after looking at all these images across the video, it's looks have won me over.

@mahiru20ten 6 лет назад

I won't really say Weber Faster One is an ugly car, though... How about YES Roadster for next?

@HSGAutomotive 6 лет назад

Muammar Gibran That’s why I said Fast One, not Faster One. VERY different looking car xD

@mahiru20ten 6 лет назад

How does the Fast One look like? Had a hard time googling it...

@stephanefarnes6398 2 года назад

It was like someone built it in in a council garage. Sorry but I expected more, from a 60year old motor company

@HSGAutomotive 2 года назад

Interesting. I can't say I'm entirely surprised from a 60 year old British motor company to be honest, lol

@w00df0rd 3 года назад

Looks like a Toyota Celica at the front, and Z4 at the back. Awful aesthetic. But the fact there's only THIRTEEN of them... suddenly it becomes the most desirable two-seater built between 2003-2011.
