Default Under-Appreciated Cars Thread

Here are a few cars that I feel only car guys would appreciate and that aren't very famous outside of the realm of the motorsports community:
Porsche 962

Ford RS200

Audi Sport Quattro

Peter Brock's Holden Torana A9X

Mazda 787B


Feel free to post any cars that you all think are under-appreciated!

These don't sound like under appreciated cars to me. Look at their palmares; many people have appreciated their victories overs the years.

Maybe I'm just having trouble looking at this from the perspective of a non-enthusiast, but I imagine any layperson being able to have some degree of appreciation for all of these. Aside from maybe the Audi, as it isn't as visually striking as the rest

The e30 would top my shortlist, along with largely anything from the 80s-90s that have become "enthusiast" cars, but have not aged significantly to be considered classics in the eyes of the masses.

No two car guys like the same cars, in my experience. Here's what I have as my current desktop image:
