Or actually 11 pure sports cars and a Renault Espace.
In the ’50s, it was quite simply: straatlegale cars had no roof and no windshield. If you were lucky, you got a small transparent screen that you face from the worst of the wind protected. Really strange that the full face helmet it was decades later before a commodity would be. Although most cars today with a windshield, up to the pure rijdersauto to it, we very occasionally still treated to a piece of candy, without all these unnecessary distractions.
Lotus 2-Eleven
Now is a Lotus Elise not exactly beneficial equipped, but you can actually still unnecessary parts of Lotus’ small sports car demolish. The windscreen for example. A number plate (without imposed letters, which is lighter) may, however, on.
Caterham Seven Superlight R500
Superlight, then you know it. Of course you can also just have the Big Mac skipping, but that does not do so well in the folder. This 260 hp strong cigar does 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds.
Porsche 911 Carrera Speedster Study
Unfortunately, Porsche has never dared to make this gift panel of the concept in 1987 as an option to offer on the production version of the Speedster. Perhaps this had to do with the tricky entry: to have in your Speedster to come, you had not only the door opening but also the panel to the rear upwards. Fortunately there are a few heroes who for their 911 a similar conversion.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren “Stirling Moss”
Mercedes-McLaren already had the SLR 722 which they are Stirling Moss’ victory during the Mille Miglia of 1955 honored, but that was apparently not enough. Therefore, there was a special version, in this case, even with a very new body, but without the windscreen. Forward than but.
Lamborghini Aventador J
What do you get when you have the roof and the windshield of a Lamborghini Aventador cuts? A beautiful concept car of which there is unfortunately only one exists.
Ariel Atom
The Ariel Atom fog not only a windshield, they are the complete bodywork forget. Just ask Jeremy Clarkson how that feels, riding without a windshield.
De Tomaso Guara Barchetta
Although Porsche was previously with its concept of the 911 Speedster, the De Tomaso Guara Barchetta one of the first modern sports cars which you have without a windshield could get. Under the hood was first a BMW V8, and later it was reverted to old-fashioned achtcilinders of Ford.
KTM X-Bow R
The Austrian KTM builds since 1954 motorcycles and is especially known for its endurance engines that already multiple times Dakar managed to win. Friend and foe were surprised to see KTM in 2008 suddenly with the X-Bow on the came up. This X-Bow R is a rappere version with 300 instead of 237 hp.
Donkervoort D10
In 1988 could Joop Donkervoort and his friends for a party to celebrate Donkervoort Automobielen was ten years old, hence the name of this D10. And then you can’t guess how many copies there of are built… Under the hood a four-cylinder Ford, the Audi era at that time was not yet arrived at Donkervoort.
Sbarro Renault Espider
Foreign cars design and build, leave that to Franco Sbarro. In 1998 he presented the Renault Espider, which is still the best way to describe it is as a vijfmansbob on wheels. Of course, just a concept, but too fun to not to.
BAC Mono
Ariel unleashed with the Atom a true power on this kind of stripped-down sports cars. KTM did it with the X-Bow, the Zenos with the E10 and BAC came out with the Mono. Not very original, but who cares when he’s with his Mono’s many times more expensive McLaren P1 to the bullying?
Renault Sport Spider
Actually had this sports car from Renault, but one big problem: shortly after the introduction came to Lotus with the much cheaper Elise. Or maybe two issues, because the later addition of a windscreen suggests that many customers are only a deflector, front is not enough.
