1980s Mercury Series Capri RS
The 1980s Mercury Capri series RS was yet another muscle vehicle from the period that absolutely flopped and was a solid strikeout, and not even modifications could salvage its reputation. There is just something that does not make sense when a vehicle that was supposed to epitomize power could only hit a max speed of over 90.

“The 3-door RS variant had a 2.4-liter supercharged motor that might appear powerful, but it delivered the vehicle a paltry 88 horsepower, and its highest speed couldn’t even 100-mile mark” according to platform Vocal Media.

The Mercury series Cougar XR7 model, despite being the ideal performance vehicle for your grandma, failed to find a market. Gearheads backtracked from the angular automobile, which didn’t appear to be especially quick or threatening.

“The Cougar clearly was dull appearing even using the benchmarks of the period, with its grandmom-chic style, although we have to appreciate the effort placed in the improvements of the vehicle in order to entice and appeal more to members of the community,” Motor 1 said.
