5 Minivans That Would Embarrass Your Sports Car!!

five minivans that would embarrass your sports car so imagine this you're on the way home in your new sports car and you see a bloated minivan pull up beside you at the lights most people would shrug off a minivan is being deathly slow only suitable for carrying families in there things here are five cars that might just make you think twice number one Vauxhall Zafira VXR there's never been a car quite like the Saphira VXR on the markets and it makes you wonder why it actually exists having said that rocks all thought that they could sell the thing and bravely built it throughout the past 50 years or so high-performance vehicles and people carrying abilities tended to have been two separate things Vauxhall sought to change this offering that VXR treatment on one of their most ordinary yet best-selling vehicles the VXR packs a powerful 240 brake horsepower 4-cylinder engine which can actually be remapped up to almost 300 brake horsepower unlike the few other sporty minivans on the market the VXR actually gets the full VXR treatment stiffer springs a new front and rear bumper side skirts and sport seats as well as this you got a set of sporty VXR wheels and a really nice bright blue paint job featuring the same engine as the already fast Astra VXR the cefiro will accelerate from nought to 60 in under seven seconds not bad for a car cc or five people in a lot of luggage the stiffer Springs make it handle well although some critics complain that there is little to no steering feel on offer still you can't have everything and the Saffir of VXR is a cool sleeper that ticks a lot of boxes chances are you will rarely if ever see another one on the road so exclusivity is a factor the drivers beware these things are fast prepare to be humiliated at the lights if hearing anything short of a sports car numbered sue Renault Espace f1 I've always liked Renault for their crazy contraptions notably that brilliant Clio v6 but the Espace f1 takes it a step further it takes a certain kind of madman to drop a Formula one engine into a minivan but trust the guys at Renault to do it the year was 1995 and Renault had a simple problem they needed something to celebrate their 10 years in Formula One but also really wanted something to convey the decade-long success of the Espace vehicle they hummed and hard until one day some bright spark must have suggested they combine the two the result was rather astonishing if a bit scary what this meant was a v10 powered Espace minivan paired with a 6-speed sequential transmission the vehicle was capable of reaching 60 miles per hour and a ballistic 2.8 seconds topping out at a downright ridiculous 194 miles per hour to be fair to the engineering side of it the vehicle wasn't really an Espace but more like an f1 space frame with an Espace body shoved on top of it the vehicle used the lightweight carbon-fiber f1 style chassis in combination with a carbon fiber reinforced Espace j63 series body to complete the project the 820 brake horsepower v10 was mounted in the middle for perfect weight distribution pretty damn cool right although I can't see much room left inside for the kids in the camping gear number three Mercedes r 63 AMG here's a factory car that will surprise most that it even exists the art class isn't exactly AMG material from the factory what the art class is is a very comfortable germanic tourer and people carrier a smart foot ordinary car designed for very ordinary purposes ordinary no doubts at least until the boys that Mercedes AMG got their hands on it of course you may be surprised to hear the Mercedes r 63 AMG is a full fat factory AMG model so unusual is the r 63 AMG that in the US mercedes didn't even advertise the car to get one you had to go to the dealer and special order it in straight from stuttgart kind of like a secret item on the restaurant menu the r 63 AMG uses the whopping 500 and 700 s our 6.2 liter naturally aspirated v8 from the c63 AMG sending power to all four wheels sure it weighs around five thousand three hundred pounds but that's still quite some power for a minivan no one knows exactly how many are 63 s were built in total but that number is almost certainly under a thousand and more likely in the low hundreds this car is a wise investment folks and a truly bonkers machine get one while C still can number four Toyota Sienna a lot of people look at the rather front P Toyota Sienna and dismiss it as another rather boring minivan for soccer moms or family guys externally the Sienna is as dull as dishwater yet under the hood lies a secret that may surprise people yes you don't get a 507 brake horsepower v8 but what you do get is a significant 3.5 liter v6 engine with 296 bhp more than double that of a brand new base Spec Miata while though the Sienna is a plain-looking vehicle Toyota's choice to install the Tacomas direct injection 3.5 liter v6 combined with the new 8-speed automatic seems like a wise one nor 260 happens in seven seconds not bad for a bloated and lumbering barge of a vehicle Congrats to Toyota for doing this the Sienna has come a long way from the 187 horsepower at 2.7 liter 4-cylinder that is featured in previous models which must have felt extremely underpowered I must say it will be nice to see a 2jz engine in one of these but perhaps that's asking for too much number five Ford s-max ST Rice's beware your Honda may be in grave trouble packing 12 horsepower more than a brand new Civic Si this minivan could show you its tail in a drag race with a healthy 217 brake horse power sports wheels and lowered suspension the s max ST is sports answer to the question that's no one is asking but still it's great that they have produced this subtle but rather wacky vehicle [Music] being at servo charged engine you can easily map the car to more than 260 brake horsepower which would worry some pretty fast machinery although it's a 5 cylinder so it can sound great the exhaust and the Quattro style the interior is rather more standard s-max than sports car although you do get a dished steering wheel and some upgraded seats the gear stick is dashboard mounted too just like a Civic type-r the s-max ST is a silly vehicle but watch out have you ever see one it could show you up big time on a highway pull or in between that gap in traffic so there you are folks which minivan did I miss let me know in the comments down below as always thanks for watching and feel free to like or dislike the video Cheers [Music]
