Today's community question: What slow cars have fooled you into thinking they’re fast?

Pedigree, good looks and great marketing are very persuasive tools, something which Ferrari used to great effect when promoting the Mondial.

Pedigree, good looks and great marketing are very persuasive tools, something which Ferrari used to great effect when promoting the Mondial. Featuring styling by Pininfarina, an innovative mid-engined layout and a clever monocoque chassis, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Mondial was a proper little supercar.

Not so. With only 205bhp being produced from its 3.0-litre Tipo F106B FI V8, the Mondial had a 0-62mph time of 8.2 seconds. In other words a current BMW 320d could beat it away from the lights.

But Ferrari isn’t the only company to pull the wool over our eyes, so we want to know: What other slow cars have fooled you into thinking that they’re fast? Let us know!
