Model History:
The Americans have their Jeep, the British their Land Rover - and then there's another rugged vehicle, from the land of the rising sun and hardly any less iconic: the Toyota Land Cruiser. Originally designed as a military vehicle based on the US Jeep, it was soon adapted to civilian use. The original "BJ" from 1951 was renamed Land Cruiser in 1954, leaving no doubt against which car it was pitted. A second generation followed in 1955, but it was the third generation, the J40, which became a world-wide success.
Especially the 4x4 variant had great off-road capabilities, they proved to be tough and reliable and helped establish Toyota's reputation, especially in markets such as Australia, South America or Africa where these qualities in a car were vital. Land Cruiser engines were either 4 or 6 cylinder plants with a capacity between 3.0 and 4.2 litres, both Diesel and petrol engines were offered. Interestingly, Toyota used Mercedes-Benz engines for their Brazil-based production for over 25 years.
The J40 remained in production until 1984, when it was replaced by the J70. In Brazil, however, where the popular car was sold as "Toyota Bandeirante", it continued to be built right until 2001.

Model History:
The Porsche 914 - or VW-Porsche 914, since it was a cooperation between the two companies - was launched in 1969 as an entry-level model for Porsche, replacing the 912. It was also considered a potential successor to the Karmann Ghia as an upmarket sports model from the Volkswagen point of view.
Technically, the very lightweight car - curb weight lower than 1 ton - was very much up to date and offered extraordinarily good road handling owing to its mid-engine layout. It was available as a VW version with a 4 cylinder engine, called 914/4, or as 914/6, which accordingly had a 6 cylinder engine installed and was sold with a Porsche badge. The 914 has often been described as unsuccessful, but this is really only true for the German market. In the US, where all models were sold as Porsches, at least the 914/4 did remarkably well for a number of years. A production span of 7 years and a total output of 115,646 vehicles built is not a figure to be scoffed at for a 1970s sports car. The 914/6 suffered from its hefty price tag, it was only slightly cheaper than the base model of the 911 and was phased out as early as 1972 after only 3,332 examples.
The mid-engine layout was only resurrected by Porsche in 1996 for the Boxster.

Model History:
While other car manufacturers had quickly followed the pioneers Citroen and Opel, who started using unitary construction designs as early as the mid-thirties, Mercedes was a late adopter: Their first unibody car, the 180 of the W120 series, appeared in 1953. It was followed one year later by the larger 220 (W180), which was subsequently nicknamed "the large Ponton".
While nearly 550,000 Ponton sedans were built between 1953 and 1962, subdivided into different series and equipped with various engines, convertibles and coupes have always been highly exclusive rarities: The price of such a vehicle amounted to 170 % of the comparable sedan, due to the high amount of handwork that went into assembling them. With only 2,081 units, the coupe is the rarest shape, 1,251 were built as W180 and 830 as the successor, the W128. As for the convertible, 2.178 units were manufactured as W 180 and 1,112 units as W128.
Most of these upmarket cars were sold to solvent customers in North America, where Mercedes-Benz at that time partnered Studebaker in a sales group.

Model History:
BMW's 2nd generation of the 3 series, the E30, replaced its popular predecessor in 1982. With its straight lines, Claus Luthe - who had penned the timeless NSU Ro 80 - created a car that perfectly catered to the taste of its era. The handsome and well-built cars with their wonderfully smooth engines were originally available as 2- and 4-door sedans. In 1985, BMW added a convertible, and in 1987, a station wagon named "Touring" completed the lineup.
The 325 iX, available as of 1985, introduced four-wheel-drive to the 3 series. Diesel- and Turbo-Diesel models were offered as of 1985 (324 d) and 1987 (324 td). Motorsport enthusiasts' dream was of course the M3 with up to 175 kW (238 hp) of power. In total, 2,339,520 units of the E30 series were built, nearly doubling the figures of the preceding E21.
35 years after its presentation, the E30 is already fast becoming a sought-after classic. It is getting exceedingly difficult to find a well-preserved, original specimen - simply because many have suffered dearly at the hands of a financially inflexible clientele of 3rd and 4th hand owners attraced by the racing qualities of the E30 3 series.

Model History:
Not just any luxury sedan, but the epitome of quality in the 1970s - that's what the W116 models of Mercedes-Benz's S-Class will always be remembered for. It was the chancellors' car in a tumultous era, both Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Kohl were chauffeured in them. The W116 also was the first luxury car to be named "Car of the Year" in Europe, as well as "Best Sedan in the World" in the US.
Its debut was originally planned for the 1971 Frankfurt Motor Show - which got cancelled. So the S-Class - the first to officially bear this name - was presented to the public at the Paris Salon of 1972, and became an immediate success. It was not only the enhanced passenger protection through a reinforced body structure with strengthened roof and door pillars, but also the very high quality of craftsmanship which earned these cars the reputation of being virtually indestructible. Of course, watching high-ranking politicians disembark from their armoured variants of the W116 on telly day after day may have helped, too. The W116 also brought technological advances, ABS brakes and cruise control were first featured on it. It is not widely known that a 5-cylinder diesel version, the 300 SD, was built exclusively for the north american market from 1978 through 1980.

Model History:
In 1995, BMW presented a new sporting two seater roadster. Designed by Joji Nagashima, technically based on E36 and internally named E36/7, this was the first new BMW to be built exclusively in the US. Within just two years, a new factory had been erected at Greer, South Carolina, which had commenced production of the E36 in 1994. Apart from the powertrain, which still came from Germany, all other components for the Z3 were sourced from North American suppliers. The roadster was very popular right from day one - aided by clever product placement in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye.
In 1999, a coupe version (E36/8) was added. This proved somewhat controversial, as it was more of a shooting brake than an actual coupe, and it ended up nicknamed "breadbox" by some critics. The engine palette ranged from a 1.8 litre four-cylinder with 85 kW (116 hp) to the mighty 3.2 litre six-cylinder in the Z3 M, which boasted 239 kW (325 hp).
For the 2000 model year, the Z3 was facelifted, the new look best noticeable at the rear with the L-shaped taillights. The facelift also brought better insulation for the convertible top, which now had three layers, not just one, and higher quality materials were used for the plastic rear window.
Over 7 years, a total of 279,273 roadsters and 17,815 coupes were built.

Model History:
Is this the original quattro? - No, it is not, it only looks alike…
The confusion was not undesirable, after all, a lot more money changed hands for the much rarer Audi quattro!
In 1981, Audi brought a sports coupe on the market, which was based on the Audi 80 B2 (type 81) and in turn became the basis for the legendary Audi quattro. The coupe and the “80†were identical to the a-pillar apart from the striking twin headlamps of the coupe. The most noticeable features at the rear were the high, narrow taillights and the light band. 5 cylinder engines were available for the GT, as well as the tried and tested 4 cylinder motors from the Audi 80 for the GL. Coupes of the first model years with GT equipment can be recognized by the darker foiling of the body below the bumpers and side skirts.
After the facelift in the summer of 1984, the cars featured bulkier front and rear sections, bevelled headlamp lenses and the rear spoiler of the quattro - which made them look alike even more.
By the time production came to an end in 1988, just short of 175,000 coupes had been built.

Model History:
The other great Porsche
This was supposed to be the heir to the throne, successor to the forever-young 911, which in the late 1960s was thought to be way past its prime, with not much of a future ahead. Hence a radically different layout was favoured: The new top-of-the-range model was designed to be a luxury touring car, with a powerful watercooled V8 engine in the front, providing 176 kW (240 hp) from 4,5 litres of displacement, and a transaxle layout, which enabled a weight distribution of nearly 50/50 (front/rear). The 928 debuted in 1977 at the Geneva Motor show. In 1978, it won the coveted "European Car of the Year" award, as the first sports car ever - a clear indication of just how advanced the 928 was both technically, as well as with regards to styling. Many Porsche enthusiasts, however, greeted the 928 with something ranging from suspicion to downright rejection, as the 911 continued to sell. Nevertheless, the 928 became a success in its own right, with a construction period of no less than 18 years. Later models featured a 5.4 litre engine with up to 257 kW (350 hp). Only about 1/5 of all 928 came with a manual gearbox!

Model History:
It is based on a legend, and became a legend in its own right. The Porsche 930, better known as the 911 Turbo, was not only the fastest serial production sports car in Germany when it entered the market in 1975, but also the first production sports car in the world that made use of an exhaust gas turbocharger. It owes its existence to homologation regulations but quickly became a cult car, topping the Porsche range and attracting wealthy customers all around the world.
The models offered up to 1977 had a 3.0 litre engine which produced 191 kW (260 hp), almost 25 % more than the contemporaneous 911 Carrera. In 1978, an intercooler was added and the displacement increased to 3.3 litres. Power output reached 221 kW (300 hp).
Targa and convertible variants of the 911 Turbo are rare due to the fact that they were only added to the lineup in 1987 - and they came with a hefty price tag: A 911 Turbo Convertible cost around DM 22,000 more than a Turbo Coupe and almost twice as much as a Carrera Coupe!
All 930 models prior to 1989 came with a 4-speed manual gearbox, only for the last year of its production, a 5-speed gearbox was introduced, which lived on in the successor, the 964 Turbo.
