In this exhilarating episode of Ideal, we delve into the realm of automotive resurrection, where forgotten legends are primed for a triumphant return to the asphalt stage. The Toyota MR2, a mid-engine marvel that once captured the hearts of enthusiasts, is slated for a grand comeback in 2026 with a turbocharged four-cylinder powerhouse under its hood. Alongside this icon, the revered Toyota Celica is poised to make a resounding return, promising a blend of turbocharged performance and timeless styling that pays homage to its Motorsports heritage.

Mazda's SP concept car ignites the flames of anticipation with whispers of a rotary hybrid powertrain, hinting at a potential revival of the legendary RX7. Meanwhile, the Buick Grand National, a black beast from the '80s, teases a modern iteration with over 500 horsepower and rear-wheel drive, ready to reclaim its status as a formidable American muscle car. Volvo's 850R wagon, known for its turbocharged engine and agile handling, could reemerge as a performance-focused hybrid or electric model, challenging the titans of the wagon world.

The Ford Escort RS Cosworth, a street-legal rally star of yesteryears, beckons for a modern reincarnation blending retro styling with EcoBoost power, promising rally-bred performance for today's enthusiasts. As the echoes of muscle car glory reverberate, the Shelby Cobra's raw V8 power and unfiltered driving experience inspire dreams of a modern interpretation, perhaps born from a collaboration between Ford and Mazda. The Plymouth Road Runner, a no-nonsense muscle car legend, stands as a testament to pure performance, beckoning for a revival that harkens back to the golden age of muscle car simplicity and fun.
