What is a sleeper car?

A sleeper car has considerable performance but is also characterized by unremarkable bodywork and paints; this can be great fun when you surprise other drivers with the vehicle's power.

Drivers who prefer stealth to showboats have a range of choices for good cars with more performance than their first appearance suggests.

The classic example of one of the best sleeper cars is the Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Audi produces an S performance version of nearly every model in its lineup for a Premium-brand sleeper look. In addition, which is near the top of Audi's fleet, there is a high-performance A4 sedan. 

Want to get somewhere quickly without drawing attention to yourself?

Sleeper cars themselves fly under the radar – a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is a straightforward concept: a simple vehicle with an unrestricted look deliberately coupled with serious performance.

It's simple: just an innocent-looking machine coupled with serious performance."

Some of the ultimate sleeper cars...

Jaguar Mark II 3.8

It has a 3.8-liter motor or 2.4 or 3.4 life cycles straight-6 engines. It was the same engine as the S-Type engine, which was manufactured with it.

The Police had a hard time keeping up with this sleeper car until they found one themselves.

A time from 0-60mph of 8.5 seconds is decent, and to see a MkII move is good stuff. A competent car, Ok, not all of these have power steering and are not officially the fastest sleeper car. But it is still a fan favorite.

Subaru Forester S Turbo

The Subaru Forester Turbo S featured the same 2.0 L turbocharged boxer as its much illustrious older cousin.

However, it packed 168hp instead of the 200hp+ Subaru gave the new Impreza of the period. With 0-60mph speeds around 7.7 secs.

Add the low sales on permanent four wheels and boxy bodywork that meant that anyone who glanced at it would spot a load-lugger. This means it is blended into the background.

Volkswagen Golf R

The Golf R has a reputation amongst those who do not intend to pay for its own. With 288bhp 4 wheel drive and a time of just 0 - 60 mph in 4.7 secs, it takes plenty of talent to keep up with an R on a cross-country drive.

A tidier and a real sleeper combine the R badge with the VW trim emblem.

Ford S-MAX 2.5T

At 217bhp at a maximum speed around 0-60mph in 7.4 secs is today's is hot-hatch territory.

Watching a huge MPV roll over on her skirt is more enjoyable compared to watching an average car. Ford's seven-seater truck has five cylinders from a Focus ST and looks like a perfect bedmaker's idea.

The SMAX MK1 had good handling, and a six-speed manual makes this a good choice for all-round car whist, giving you the power when you want it.

Audi S6 V10 

The Lamborghini Mk6 V10 came from the Gallardo and was tuned to 429bhp. 0-60 mph took just 4.8 seconds.

This sleeper car is up there with the best of them, sitting to the top of Audi's fleet.

With 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155mph, it got everything you could want from your car with every reason to be caught speeding.

1991 GMC Syclone

The Syclone ran for 280 horses at 4400rpm. It was equipped with a center diff and a reduced-drag diff on the rear side.

The quarter-mile was accomplished in 13.4seconds with the highest speed at 98mph.

This is a classic sleeper car; you won't be disappointed if you can get your hands on one.

SEAT Exeo 2.0 TSI

The Exeo Sport runs with a 2-liter TSI engine with 197hp.

Speculators said the result was good. The interior was partially lifted from the previously-new A3 Cabriolet of the same build.

It is a 2005 Audi A4 with a nose job, while handling was predictable and building quality and materials you come to expect.

Audi RS2

0-60 mph takes about 4.8 seconds for this sleeper car. Adding in the six-speed manual makes this even more desirable.

The brakes and suspension were imported from Porsche, including the suspension. At the same time, the wheels and side mirror were taken from the (964) 911 Turbo.

The RS2 provides 311 horsepower and 308 lb-ft of torque driven by the 2.2-liter inline-five engine.

The car has enough space for everyone's luggage so that no one can moan about the usability of this excellent little sleeper car.

BMW 330d

The blue BMW 330d of 90 was the favorite of the boys. In 5.9 seconds, 0-62 mph, and 330d can go at speeds as fast as most other sports cars. So driving in this car is a reasonable option.

The subsequent 335d was a little quicker, but its next arrival meant a slight change in the element of surprise.

Such models were not as standard in the 2000s back then...but back in the early 90s, they were fast and flying effortlessly under the radar. Of course, it was always going to impress, but while the 335s followed, it had to be slightly quicker.

Mazda 6 MPS 

The 6-speed model produces 256 BHP with the Turbo Charged 2 liter engine, while a four-wheel-drive means the unit can use its drive without problems. 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds proves this car can go rapidly and has no issues.

Mazda offers surprisingly practical hatchbacks, crossover, and saloon models that tend to be very sensible but usually show relatively modest performance levels. But Mazda's decision to provide fast MPS versions of the three hatchbacks and six saloons should be applauded.

Volvo V70 R

The V70 R features a turbocharged 2.5 L V70 five-cylinder engine with 300hp. Front/4 wheel driving and automatic gearbox were available.

Civilian owners were indeed not afraid of the charms of this swift Swedish. It has an excellent handling weight, limited-slip, and Alcantara seats with climate control.

This was the hit of traffic officers who loved its ability to swallow their kit in its massive boot while also packing plenty of punch to tear down motorways at 150mph. A

lthough the vehicle is not the world's quickest automobile, it helped put Volvo on the map as one of the best sleeper cars.
