The same happened with the Rover Vitesse. Can you post something about this cars please? (such as max. speed, bhp or so).

Rover Vitesse SD1 3.5 V8 was c.190hp not sure of 0-60 but I'd guess 8/9 secs and top speed of 130-140mph

Rover Vitesse (Rover 800 shape) was a 2.5 or 2.7 V6 (Honda enlarged the CC of that particular engine in maybe 1987/1988 I think - same engine as the Honda legend of the same time) the 2.7 was 177hp, 0-60 about 8.5-9 secs and top speed was quoted at about 135mph

Thats from memory mind you, and it was a long time ago...

Thanks. My cousin had a babysitter whose boyfriend had a Vitesse and because of that I was interested. And by the internet there is not much information.
