There is something special about classic cars, even though they aren’t as powerful, safe, or comfortable as modern ones. It’s possible to take for example a Ford mustang. The old ’60s muscle car was designed to produce lots of power and is one of the most amazing cars ever built. Some of the soul of the older ‘Stangs had been lost by the brand-new S 650 mustang.
We’re going to cover some of the cool European sports cars. They’re fun to drive, look drop-dead gorgeous, and more often than not, come with a mighty price tag attached to their lineage. We’re going to take a look at the most bucket list-worthy cars to come from Europe.
10 Porsche 356 Coupe
Between 1948 and 1965, thePorsche 356 was constructed. There were four different generations of the 356, most of them being hard top cars, but some were topless Speedsters. The rear-mounted engines in the different models were all flat-fours from Volkswagen.
The engines only produced a maximum of 95hp. It wasn’t necessarily a slow car. The performance of the 356 was dependent on the driver, since it weighed as much as a feather and was rear-wheel-drive only. It didn’t have a lot of straight-line speed, but the car shined around the track.
9 Audi Sport Quattro
It was never intended to be a sport car. The only reason it was possible was because of the rules of the group b rally racing. We’re so happy that the rule exists now that we have the priceless audi sport quinto.
The first all-wheel-drive, front-engined car with a turbocharged engine was fitted by AUDI. The Sport Quattro was powered by a 199-hp 2.1-liter inline-five engine.
8 Porsche 550 Spyder
One of the most beloved and feared cars of all time is thePorsche 550 syplow. Some people think James Dean’s car was the cause of his death. That’s a story for tomorrow.
It was not road legal. It had no roof, no safety measures in place, and its engine sent all of its power to the rear tires. Do you think it’s dangerous? I agree. Do you think it’s fun? It’s absolutely true.
7 BMW 3.0 CSL
It doesn’t take much to understand why the BMW 3.0 CSL was named the Batmobile. The aerodynamic package gave it some daring body modifications. The upgrades included a monstrous rear wing, some subtle, yet intimidating front fins, and a secondspoiler just above the rear window.
The 3.0 CSL was not just something to frighten its rivals, but it could also hold its own around the track as well. There was a naturally-aspirated 3.2-liter straight-six underneath that produced 203hp and 211lb-ft of Torque.
6 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR
Mercedes-Benz used to build a wide variety of cars not only focused on luxury. This is the perfect example of a perfect example. There is a road version of a track car. The CLK GTR was a homologation special, but it was a tad more ridiculous than the audi sport quinto we talked about.
There are only 25 road-legal examples of the CLK GTR, and they’re selling for unbelievable prices nowadays. They all had the same 6.9-liter V12 found in the Zonda. The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR could top out at 199 mph from a stop in just under four seconds.
5 BMW 328 Roadster
We are transitioning to a classic sports car. Between 1936 and 1940, only 464 units of the car were produced. The design was nothing like the modern Bimmer fans we’re used to, but it had the same grille as a modern BMW and a traditional inline six engine.
The Mille Miglia was won in 1940 by the Touring Coupe with a 2.0-liter six- cylinder engine that put out 81hp and 93lb-ft of Torque.
4 Opel GT
The late ’60s and ’70s saw a lot of cars built by brands that are no longer around. Italy built some exotic sports cars using its expertise. The German manufacturers didn’t have a lot of presence in this area of the car world.
The front-engined layout of the GT made it a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car that prioritized the driving experience over other things. It was only powered by a naturally-aspirated 100hp four-banger, but it was combined with everything else to create what we can only call magic.
3 BMW E30 M3
The E30 M3 is the sixth generation of the BMW M3 and is taller than the rest. The E30 M3 had a naturally-aspirated 2.0 liter four-pot underneath its hood.

The first few E30 M3s built were able to squeeze up to 197hp out of their four- cylinder engine, while the Sport Evolution was able to crank out a whopping 235hp. The E30 M3 is considered to be one of the best-handling cars to ever exist, and we recommend you pick one up. These are quite expensive today.
2 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing
The Mercedes-Benz 300SL is one of the best sports cars on the market. The gullwing doors reveal the cockpit by reaching out to the sky, which is why it’s called gullwing. Near the front of the vehicle, there was a wonderful 888-565- 888-565- 888-565-
The 3.0-liter straight-six was capable of producing up to 220hp and 217lb-ft of Torque, as well as being able to be operated with a 4-speed manual transmission. Since it’s so low to the ground and wide like a boat, we would love to drive one of these.
1 Porsche 930 Turbo
The Widowmaker is one of the most dangerous track weapons to ever leave the factory, but it’s also one of the most stable. You already know that you need to be careful with your right foot. The Widowmaker was a nickname for thePorsche 930Turbo.
It was the first-ever car to come with theTurbo badge, and since it was still in the early stages of development, the 930Turbo tended to slip out the rear end a bit. A 3.3-liter flat-six that puts out nearly 300hp and more than 300lb-ft of Torque can be found in the back of the 930. The only way to make it work was with a manual. traction and stability control were nowhere to be found on the 930Turbo.
