It’s classic, but not cheap. The Renault R5 Turbo, for many known as “Fat Ass”, is one of the great myths of the competition, the rallies. His version of the street is not for less, probably one of the most radical series preparations. On the basis of the R5 was placed a motor in central rear position, specifically a 1.4-liter turbo with 160 hp power, and rear-wheel drive. His racing DNA reached Turbo 2, an update that did not bring great mechanical novelties. Of course, prepare the wallet, you will have to get rid of at least 47000 US Dollar

Opel Manta 400

If the Opel Manta was already a coupe with style and a certain sports air, the Manta 400 was directly a car of Group B for the street. Precisely it is the necessary homologation of the model to be able to compete, and that was reflected directly in the bodywork. Wider wheel arches, new ailerons, and air intakes were his hallmark. The engine did not stand out in potency, it was an atmospheric 2.4 liters of only 145 CV of power, but its low weight makes it a vehicle of desire and enjoyment. Like the previous one, it is complicated to get, and in exchange for a good sum of money.

BMW M3 E36

Surely when reading M3 you were thinking of the E30, the first in the series. But no. It’s fun, albeit at a price too high. The BMW M3 E36 is considerably more affordable, but no less fun. It uses an atmospheric 6 cylinder engine with powers of 286 or 321 hp in the upgrade, what is necessary to enjoy a stretch of curves thanks to its rear-wheel drive and its magnificent sound. The best of all? Which is not so radical as not to use it every day. It does not take more than $17600to enjoy one.

Smart Roadster

The small smart Roadster has a niche in our list. On its own merits: low weight, small size, low height and an affordable price. Ah. And traction to the rear axle. It does not enjoy much power, 82 HP in the standard versions, although there is the Brabus, with 100 HP. In any case, the Roadster is enjoyed to sky discovered. If you want more space and an even more transgressive line, take advantage of the Roadster Coupe, with back box. For less than $12000 you can have a bigger smile every day.

Opel Kadett GSi

In a list of several sports cars of yesteryear could not miss the Opel Kadett GSi, a car that demanded hands. The adolescence dream of a good part of the generation of the 80s emanated spicy in a market where the sport compact ones fought a real battle. It’s 150hp of power in the most powerful versions impressed in such a lightweight set, and we do not talk about the amazing 170hp super boss that was marketed in South Africa. If we look good we can buy one for about $ 5866.

MINI Cooper S R53

The MINI saga has been successful in all its generations, and its sports versions remembered. The new era MINI Cooper S, the R53, brought style, differentiation, customization and fun to the market. He used a 1.6-liter compressor-powered mechanic with 163 or 170 hp, which combined with a low weight and a very hard chassis configuration, made him a delight on curvy roads. Unfortunately, that hardness, consumption and its small size relegate it to a second place in terms of versatility. For about $10560you can already have a very good unit.

Citroen 2CV

We are not crazy. The Citroen 2CV is not only fun for the concept, but for its peculiarity. It is a piece of the history of the automobile, a car that motorized France but, above all, an umbrella on wheels. One of its most striking features was its extreme swing in a curve and, nevertheless, its extreme complication if we tried to overturn it. If we have the Sahara version, and fun in the field with its double engine. With the convertible roof, it becomes an interesting playful option that surely succeeds you a smile. You and the others. Now, prepare the portfolio, as you will have to drop a minimum of $3500 for a good unit.

Volkswagen Lupo GTI

The SUVs are cannon fodder for the most daring user. Its small size, reduced weight, and high power create the perfect mix for fun at the wheel, whether in curves or in town. It hardly differs from a standard Lupo, although its double exhaust outlet reveals it. Under the hood, a 1.6-liter atmospheric engine with 125 hp. It may not look like much, but add a weight of fewer than 1,000 kilos and a manual gearbox of 6 ratios. Best of all is that they look little, so you play with exclusivity. What is not so fun is the price, almost $7040 on average.

BMW 1 Series Coupe

And we go to the other extreme. From a fun urban we are going to an authentic sports car with coupe and 6 cylinder engine. Of course, they are 6 cylinders supercharged by double starting with a result of 340 CV of power. It’s rear-wheel drive, it’s 6-speed manual gearbox and its widened body give a good account of what BMW intended. And it still does, as we still compare it with the also extreme M2 Coupe. The pity is that it is still an expensive option, between $47000 and $60000 per one does not make as much fun.

Renault Twizy

And we end up with the strangest model on the list, the Renault Twizy. It is the only electric, the only one in which the co-driver is behind the driver, the only one with a central position, and the only one with the wheels not integrated into the body. It has not been created with the aim of having fun, although the chassis has been adjusted by Renault Sport, which ensures an agile set-up. The most capable engine allows to leave the city and place white license plate, are 11 CV, but it is the right to have a good time in our urban trajectories. The counter is that there is just no trunk and you will have to charge the batteries. Its new price is almost $10000
