^ haha, fits my second criteria, but not the first ones images/smilies/smile.gif

Spazatao · January 29th, 2007, 12:07 AM

Ford Puma?

BlitzR · January 29th, 2007, 02:39 AM

Plymoth Barracuda?

Alok · January 29th, 2007, 09:58 AM

no and no

JoHaaN · January 29th, 2007, 12:00 PM

VW Fox ?

Alok · January 29th, 2007, 12:02 PM

no

third clue : The car exists in both coupe and roadster form.
Also, a previous model from the same brand also had its name from the same language that this car's name comes from.

JoHaaN · January 29th, 2007, 01:20 PM

Just guessing around....Opel Tigra ?

Alok · January 29th, 2007, 01:29 PM

nope....

edit: maybe the clues were too hard, here is another one

This car recently received a new type of engine placement.

Any more and it would be giving the answer in a silver platter

You will all hate me now.

Lamborghini Murcielago

Murcielago, meaning "bat" in Spanish, was a bull from Joaquin del Val di Navarra's farm, man famous for the Miura breeders.
Available in Coupe and convertible images/smilies/tongue.gif

Alok · January 30th, 2007, 03:01 PM

Yep, also, there is a Japanese clan called Miura, and the Lambo Diablo is the other one i mentioned, Diablo, devil in spanish, although named after another bull i presume.

YF19pilot · January 30th, 2007, 03:08 PM

Sweet. I can't believe that I didn't think of it sooner, though. Mainly I was thinking "animal" and "coupe"...too many people going for German cars, though images/smilies/tongue.gif

1) This car ran in the 24 hours of LeMans in 1976, and 30 years later, ran in the LeMans Classic in 2006.

2) Unlike the version that ran the LeMans, it's current model is a Sedan rather than a Coupe.

bmw m5?

Blayde · January 30th, 2007, 03:30 PM

I think the M5 was released in the mid 80s.

BMW CSL?

darn, I had edited my post with the cars a minute after YF19Pilot's post, M5 or M3 CSL, but I left the computer thinking i clicked submit. If it is the right answer, I will keel haul myself.

YF19pilot · January 31st, 2007, 02:03 AM

Not M5, not CSL

teletubby-warrior · January 31st, 2007, 02:09 AM

Yes, in 1976 two NASCAR stockers went to LeMans. The oil crisis hit, shrinking the grid at LeMans. "Big" Bill France, ever the entrepenuer, seized the opertunity by asking to fill in spots with stock cars. In 1976, two such cars went. A Ford Torino and the No. 4 Olympia Beer 1972 Dodge Charger. The Charger was chosen because the teams car for that year had wrecked prior to going to LeMans. So, they pulled out their old Charger, and had to get to work putting headlights and taillights back onto the car. Unfortunately, the low octane fuel used in Europe (both teams didn't bring any of the high octane leaded stuff from the US) spelt the end of both team's engines.

Some say that this "experiment" helped along the transition of the 24 Hours of Daytona from an ALMS event into a Grand Am event.

teletubby-warrior · January 31st, 2007, 02:48 AM

This is probably much too easy:

- The first V6-powered American car.
- This car was available for purchase, in one form or another, for over 30 years.
