I absolutely love the 2002 Turbo. Love those flares, lines, and the turbo motor.

I like to think the 1M is the modern 2002 Turbo.

The 2002 is a legend. It is the first European production turbocharged car and one of the first compact performance coupes!

Cool video...you can see how far suspension tuning has come from when the 2002 turbo was first built.

My French is rusty but cool video. Got about 50% of it! Love the 02 turbo. What a great day out!

It's not just about the suspension tuning, it's about what was acceptable for a road car. The race batmobiles, Porsche 917's or Ford GT40's were suspended pretty stiffly.

That and they had much worse tires.

It is not a coupe, it is a two door sedan.
