Get a car. Add a different motor from the same manufacturer. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Ideas:
Nissan 450Z- puts some real muscle in a wannabe musclecar, courtesy of the engine from the Infiniti M45

I'm looking for the worst car name in English, especially from an English-speaking company.

My dad neglected to tell me that an automatic moves forward in "D" unless your foot is on the brake.

Mercedes-Benz 300SLR Uhlenhaut
Citroen DS Presidential Special
Ford Galaxie 500LTD 427 Cammer (600 horsepower!)
Wait for the HPA version...
Nissan Figaro!
I'd probably say an older Toyota Landcruiser. We have a 1988 that is almost literally bulletproof.
HPA (that 200mph Golf!)
Abarth (for making Fiat 500s go fast. Also, best badge ever)
Holeshot Racing (Divine inspiration must be required to put a 400hp turbo-Hayabusa engine in a Mini)
