This is the best ‘most-recognisable-sports-cars-of-the-80’s-but-can-you-name-them-all?’ Quiz.

Thats right. You test yourself on your own knowledge of 80’s super cars from road and rally. How much more simple could that be?

best Sports Cars of the 80'sThe 80’s were a time of high fashion, high interest rates and high powered supercars.

A time when the genius David Bowie penned ‘Let’s Dance’ and brick-sized mobile phones were cool and ‘yuppies‘ with over-sized shoulder pads (and bank balances to match) ruled the cities.

And whilst the rest of us were likely at home watching Ferris Buellers Day off, The Cannonball Run (link to Outtakes) and Miami Vice (In the Air Tonight), these upwardly mobile types rolled their sleeves up and made vast piles of cash. Typically spending it on the best sports cars of the 80’s, dodgy suits and cocaine. Mostly.

Therefore, if you happened to be one of those young urban professionals you’re likely going to be rubbish at this quiz as you were too busy filling your boots to notice what the cars actually were.

But for the rest of us, those who didn’t get to fling brand new 911 Turbo’s and Lambo’s into trees and lamp posts, we’re going to smash this quiz out the park.
