DeLorean
The dude who invented the Back to the Future car died today. What an accomplishment though.

I heard the car itself was also designed for drug dealing and smuggling. It might've worked if it had gone into more widespread production.

You can put a 32v cadillac northstare engine in a DeLorean and make it an actual sprots car, ofcouse that engine and drivetrain costs about 30 grand, but it's still pretty rad.
