MTV Car quiz

Right chaps, have a go at the following quiz.

It'll test your knowledge of mainly european production and supercars.

Have fun! (post you legitimate scores. I go 50/50 after about 1 1/2 hours, so any claims quicker than that will not be entertained!)

After just under 40 minutes I am sitting at 46/50. I had to cheat on two of them, #24 and #25, by looking up the name of the specific model on the net (I knew the brand for both cars could not remember the model designations for either) I was actually at 45/40 about ten minutes ago, but #21 was really stumping me and it took me about ten minutes to figure out what was wrong. I knew what it was right away, model and brand, but kept getting a red x by the model every time I typed in the name. I realized after about ten minutes that I was only typing in the first half of the model name.....silly me.

Despite what I think may be a pretty good time thus far you need not worry too much about being surpased by a yank just yet jgsmuzzy. It may just take me the rest of my life to figure out #12 and #15.

Shame on you Knight...#4's a Ford! (#5 is too)

And those are the only hints I'm giving.

Another hint: both of those cars were (and one of them still is) sold in both Europe and US.

my roomate came and gave me a hand just after my last post, we got up to 46/50 after another 10 minutes or so... so 45/50 in 20 minutes for a team of two, the only thing we got from the internet was the model of No. 15.

We are missing the model of 5 (i can't believe one of the three i don't know is a ford!), and both make and model for 12 and 15.
I think my favourite car on there is number 24!

I recognised a lot of them from top gear. Especially #4 cause it was the same color on the show.

#25 is in GT4

#25 is known in Europe as Renault 4 or 5, in the US it was known as Renault LeCar.
