9 Awesome Sports Saloons We Want To Be Real
Once hugely popular with UK buyers, the saloon car has become something of a dying breed on our shores.
You can party blame the rise of the crossover for that, but elsewhere in the world, there are loads of markets where four door cars are actually still in demand. As such, all round the world there are saloon versions of cars we only know as hatchbacks in the UK.
Since a lot of these cars (but not all) are intended for developing markets, pricey sports models usually don’t happen. But us at CT like to dream, and fortunately there are car renderers around to indulge us. X-Tomi Design is one such renderer, and he’s grouped together his best imaginary sports saloons from the last year, and chucked in one or two new ones.
Check them out a few of them below:
1. BMW M1
2. Citroen C-Elysee Racing
3. Ford Focus RS
4. Lada Vesta Sport
5. Peugeot 308 GTI
6. Renault Logan RS
7. Seat Toledo Cupra
8. Skoda Rapid RS
9. Honda Civic Type R
Check out the full list here.

Yeah, sad but true. I took it to the nurburgring a few times. I think I will do some farewell laps on the ‘ring.
Or maybe I’ll just stuff it in the garage and take it out again when I can afford it.
I really enjoy reading your articles btw. Good job!
There is one prototype of Rapid Sport. Seen at Poznan Motor Show This year

Holy crap, if we actually got that Lada Vesta Sport for real, I would be all over that (four letter word beginning with “S”). That thing looks magnificent.
Since when is Skoda Rapid hatchback?
I want that Seat Toledo Cupra, looks great!
