A few days ago, we at TFLcar brought you our list of the top five sleeper cars, or cars that don’t necessarily look fast but actually are. Now, Roman Mica and Nathan Adlen are back to bring you the opposite – our top five cars that look like they should be really fast, but actually aren’t.
A few of the cars on this list may lead to some controversy, especially one that has a pretty sizable cult following and tuner enthusiast market. It’s not that the cars on the list are necessarily bad, it’s just that their bodies write checks that their engines can’t cash.
Three of the cars on the list suffer from economy car roots, two of them are electric hybrids, one has a more famous, fast ancestor and one has a much faster big brother.
As usual with TFL Top 5 videos, we give you a list of five cars and then give a bonus. One of the cars on the list is given away by the featured photo; can you name the others? Watch the full video to find out what TFLcar thinks are the top five cars, plus a bonus car, that look like they should be really fast but are actually not, in some cases really not.
