[h=2]2008 Fiat 500 Abarth[/h]

2008 Fiat 500 Abarth | Fiat

U.S. consumers got the Fiat 500 Abarth beginning in 2010. For those who wanted a European model to show off to enthusiast friends, that would not be possible: This 2008 model is on the list of vehicles banned in America.

[h=2]2012 Lotus 340R[/h]

The doorless, roofless Lotus 340R is among the banned. | Lotus

The Lotus 340R is one of the few cars with no doors (let alone windows or a roof), and U.S. regulators took the easy way by banning the 340 editions made. As stripped-down racers go, the 340R is tough to beat. Inside are two bucket seats and just about nothing else.

[h=2]2012 Saab 9-5 Sportcombi[/h]

The Sportcambi wagon was a casualty of Saab’s bankruptcy. | Saab

At the 2011 Geneva Auto Show, Saab showed off the 9-5 Sportcombi wagon and said it was coming to the U.S. as a 2012 model. Following the company bankruptcy, things changed, though several Sportcombis had been produced. American buyers who are hoping to find one at auction would not be able to import it — it’s banned on this side of the Atlantic.

[h=2]1992 Smart Crossblade[/h]

The Smart Crossblade was produced in limited editions but never approved for U.S. use. | Smart

If you thought the run-of-the-mill Smart car was dangerous, check out the Crossblade. This mini model from 1992 foregoes doors, windows, and a roof, among other things. Naturally, it never made the cut as a U.S.-bound model, although that might be a good thing.

[h=2]1995 Rover Mini Cooper[/h]

1995 Mini Cooper Si | H&H Auctioneers

Classic Mini Coopers have obvious appeal to collectors. In the case of the 1995 Rover model, this edition will have to stay outside of the U.S. The pictured model was once part of John Cooper’s personal collection, if that makes it any more frustrating.

[h=2]2010 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider Roadster[/h]

2010 Alfa Romeo Spider 8C Roadster | Alfa Romeo

With any other car making its way to America, there are pesky safety issues for automakers to manage. In the development of the Alfa Romeo Spider 8C Roadster, America was not a priority; as a result, we’re forced to miss out on one of Alfa Romeo’s greatest cars of the 21st century so far.

[h=2]1994 Toyota Supra[/h]

Toyota Supra Turbo | Toyota

Having trouble finding a ’94 Supra built for the U.S. market? If so, the solution will not be importing one from abroad. It’s on the NHTSA’s blacklist. Only that model year has the ban, however, so you have some wiggle room.

[h=2]1992 Porsche Carrera 911 RS (964)[/h]

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964) | Porsche

Is the 1992 Porsche RS 964 — or 911 Carrera RS (964) — illegal in America because the name is too complex for regulators to handle? No, there are other reasons (mostly of the emissions and safety variety) why this lightweight European burner can’t enter the country. It can hit top speeds over 160 miles per hour.

[h=2]1993 Aston Martin Virage Volante[/h]

Aston Martin Virage Volante | Hemmings

Chances are no one reading this will ever see a 1993 Aston Martin Virage Volante, of which 13 were made. The Virage Volante pictured from a Hemmings listing was one of five built with manual transmission, and it is the only known model with papers allowing it on U.S. roads. All 12 others are banned.

[h=2]TVR Sagaris[/h]

2006 TVR Sagaris | Hilton & Moss

Joining the Tuscan and other banned TVR models is the Sagaris from 2005 and 2006. This stylish coupe offers about 380 horsepower and weighs less than 2,500 pounds, so you can blast to 60 miles per hour in fewer than four seconds. Just don’t plan on doing it in America.
