Another European car in the reverse fetish: a Simca Rallye 3!
Reverse fetish: JDM Simca Rallye 3
The Simca Rallye 3 was the last generation of the Rallye and only 1000 were made. The specs are amazing: this less than 730 kg heavy (thats the curb weight of the normal Simca Mille!) car is powered by a 1294cc engine that is capable of an output of 105ps (103hp) and is placed behind the rear wheels. It means this little package has a 35/65 front/rear weight distribution and that comes near the 911. Think about it as the original Mini made by Porsche!
To keep this tail happy package on the road the Rallye 3 was lowered, fenders were rolled out and a big spoiler on the rear was necessary for downforce:

The black and white theme was the original color, just as the Celica Supra/Datsun 280Z wheel design is original as well.
Imagine this little engine outputs more power than the average 1.3 liter engine nowadays:

Crazy! ( ???)
I can imagine why the Japanese owner of this Rallye 3 is so fond of his Eurobox. (*????*?)
