The 3000 GT is another ’90s legend forgotten by mainstream sports car enthusiasts, which is quite a shame. With pop-up headlights, rear panorama glass, and a big spoiler, the 3000 GT screams early ’90s car design, but there is much more about this car than contemporary nostalgia since this is one serious driving machine. Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 300 hp, which sends power to all four wheels over an intelligent AWD system (via Top Gear).

This layout makes the 3000 GT a capable coupe that can tackle any road conditions and provide extra grip in extreme situations. The only downside is the weight, and since the 3000 GT is packed with technology, it tips the scale at almost 1.8 tons (3800 pounds). However, with acceleration times of just over 5 seconds, the 3000 GT carries it with ease. Quite expensive when new, the 3000 GT is now an inexpensive alternative to the more famous Supra or 300 ZX models. The lower production number makes this car more exclusive, too.
