German Engineering at its best!!!

[Paul1982 0]

Here are 10 classic German models that I tip my hat of to as to be the best heritage cars still to this day.

All over 10 years old, all classics, Plus affordable to all.

This is the order I think is the best:

1) BMW E30 M3 (Evo)

2) Mk1 Golf Gti

3) Porsche 911

4) Corrado VR6

5) Mk3 Golf VR6

6) Golf G60 Rallye

7) Escort Cosworth (Hand made in Germany)

8) Audi S2

9) Audi Quattro

10) Mercedes c36 AMG

Hard choice – what do you guys think should be number 1??

Plus what others would you add??

You forgot the best piece of geraman engineering ever made

The bugatti veron should be number one the mechanics involved in that car are crazy!

[Paul1982 0]

Lol true they r a great car BUT its not affordable to everyone. Just like the Porsche Carerra GT, RS6, M5 etc

Golf G60 Limited Edition??

[Paul1982 0]

Think the G60 Rallye takes care of that chum

[purple highline monster 0]

Nope the Golf G60 LIMITED WAS 16 VALVE AND SUPERCHARGED, ONLY 17 MADE!!!! that makes it one of the rarest vw`s and cars, ever built! check the pics this ones been around on the scene a while, all were 5 doors, grey, black leather interior, single headlamp grill with vw motorsport blue grille surround and vw motorsport badges front and rear, no frills no exterior flashy stuff just a barn storming 210 bhp standard out the box! they are quick and very rare

I would have put the Mk1 GTI at the top of the list! if it werent for that and its predecessor "the beetle" then hardly any of those cars would have ever come about except the porsches

[vr6highline28 0]

where's the mk2 gti 16v ? surely that deserves a wee mention !!

[Eat this 2]

i may get shot here but i think the golf vr is too high up the list if it even belongs on it at all id deffo put the quattro higher up

You forgot the Porsche tuned Audi RS2, 315bhp, 4WD and the best bit about it, its an estate

[purple highline monster 0]

and the Audi AVUS...with its twinned vr6 engines.ok so it was a concept car..but it still existed..all be it briefly

[lee060 3]

G60 16v (aka super golf) they made 71 didnt they? not 17 ? they sell for the region of £25,000 nowdays

what about the AUDI S1 quattro Group B spec imo be No.1 !! Heavan for me that car!!

then the Mk1 Golf Gti

then the super golf

G40 would have to be up there along with G60 edition one ,

the Vr6 engine should have a whole place to its self , say 0 in my world one above 1 :P

agree ?

[Paul1982 0]

Lol - Well some lovely cars there but also some expensive ones. Affordable to everyone (in my eyes) is upto a £10k car.

Yes there are some awesome upgrades and specials but then your talking big bucks.

I agree - the mk1 golf should be higher plus the Beetle should be in there pushing the amg off the bottom.

My appologys...they made 70 of the golf Limited.......

and i dont think the G40 POLO was an engineering masterpiece really?

they are quite quick but only same horse power as a normal Gti in a car that couldnt really handle the power due its light weight if im honest! they are frightening to drive as they are very skitish and always wheel spinning

[lee060 3]

^ fair point made on the polo .

what about the 16S Gti Mk1 golf??? the 1.6 16v that they made when they needed more power and before they did the 1.8 , you know the oettinger engine one .

[purple highline monster 0]

they Only made the 16 soupapes (valves) for the french market Oettinger did the engines and head and inlet as you say,

very rare litle car now....i have been searching Frances barns for one though my dad lives there so if ?? i ever find one i will stick in his barn!!

Steady on now Nick!! There's nowt wrong with my G40! It's quicker than any VR6 i've ever driven!

i may get shot here but i think the golf vr is too high up the list if it even belongs on it at all id deffo put the quattro higher up

i kinda agree, i mean the rallye had away better total package with the AWD and if your including escort cosworth (contriversal) thats gotta be higher than a vr6 to be fair just a beast. i would have put audi s3 (now under 10k 2nd hand) somewhere in my top ten.

btw you can get a porker 911 for under 10k but its the old classic shape and you cant really get a turbo for that price...

and the Audi AVUS...with its twinned vr6 engines.ok so it was a concept car..but it still existed..all be it briefly

technically it wasnt twin vr6 engines tho?

60 Valve DOHC W12 (3 rows of 4)

displacement 5998 cc / 366.0 cu in

60 valves doesnt sound like 2x VR's to me , and also its the top ten for under ten grand

(well cant really get a cossy for that either)
