While so many automobile designers constantly strive to create cars with futuristic styling, the Allard team has taken the J2X in the exact opposite direction. In fact, this Quebec product has brought back the retro lines of the Allard, a 1950s British race car. Its base engine is a 5.7L V8 that can conjure 350 to 370 hp, depending on what the client prefers. Alternatively, buyers can opt to have a 6.1L, 450-hp V8 installed under the vehicle’s long hood. Good times are guaranteed!
Pros
- Classic and rare silhouette
- The sound and torque of a big V8
- Remarkable craftsmanship
- A joy to drive
Cons
- No hard or soft top (for now)
- Narrow passenger compartment
- Fairly expensive
- No glove compartment?
