5 CHEAP Sleeper Cars that are INSANELY FAST! (Under £2,000)

Back again looking for cheap sleeper cars that you shouldn't race against? Cars that have insane performance but look boring? Sleepers with insane performance? Look no further, as in this video, I run through 10 cars that those of us who love cars know are massively quick, but people outside of our circles would never know how fast these cars really are.

I hope you enjoy!

Would definitely rather have a car that looks slow but is fast, unfortunately I have a car that looks slow and is slow 🤣

I had a 2.0 litre Fiat Bravo Sport 165 BHP remapped to 200 BHP and definitely a sleeper. Nobody knew it was that fast being rare in the UK.

I managed to get hold of a b7 s line 3.0 tdi quattro for 2.5k. So much torque, and enough creature comforts including an amazing sound system. Absolute badass sleeper

[jeh]

My remapped Mercedes W220 3.2 CDI is a real sleeper, sub 7 seconds to 60.
As was the Audi S8 that I rebadged to look like a standard 2.8. I had a lot of fun with that and boy racers! 😂 😂 😂

Lmao them 123d are something else I thought I’d try my luck in a stock 6c polo gti and it left me in the dust😂😂

Dunno about this under £1k, although these are pretty impressive cars for £2k, but I reckon you'll have to do an equivalent series for flashy cars that aren't actually very quick. I have always really badly wanted a fast Volvo...I keep looking at the V60 Polestar but interiors are still a huge issue for me and the one in the V60 is awful. This entire list is good though, I actually like these more than most of the £5k list!

Having owned a ridiculous sleeper in the GS and now a car that's stupid fast but people seem to think it's 10x faster...it's a very hard call. As an overall car I'll still genuinely take that GS over possibly anything at any price, but in general it's hard to beat something flashy. Being able to disappear down the road is great, but getting loads of people shouting "nice car" and stuff never gets old.

You could also do a "most sleeper-y" cars vid, without worrying too much about price. It took me a while to realise that there's a 300hp AWD version of the Pug 3008. Embarrassing Type Rs in that might even change my answer above to prefer sleepers 😆 I can almost forgive it being an SUV, but not quite.

I love SAABs however, the 2.8 V6 is a nightmare! A cambelt change is an engine out job and the cost will be north of £1500.

Super video and Ayo Ayo you are almost 100k. Congratulations 🎉

[SupraDuprah]

Great video again JB. I do like the idea of a fast car that looks slow especially as a daily driver.

[gleng]

Great video again, thanks for the superb work

[davidlukey]

Loved this JB vid, as I always do. Might sound cheesy but for me the thing I most want in a car is personality. I parked Burt (my mk2 MX5) up for the winter and am now on my 5th winter car since October. It's driving my wife insane! I buy a car thinking I'll fall in love with it like I did with Burt, but the honeymoon period ends almost immediately. Closest I got was with Nigel, a 1994 Volvo 940, but the fuel bill was gonna bankrupt me 😔 I'm currently in a 2004 Passat Highline estate and we're nearing 2nd base (I've bought him some coilies and new wheels but haven't fitted the coilies yet as I'm considering cheating with Jag XJ 😬). Keep the great videos coming JB. Brings a little joy to a merciless world 👍

I have the Audi A4 B7 S-line 2.0 TDI special edition! She’s a beast. Stage 1 remapped.

[JoshSmith-twfk]

Everytime you do these vids it just widens the range of potential first cars i might want to buy, much love dude ur incredible

[josephcorner]

a friend of mine has a ford focus convertabile also designed by pininfarina, and it and the volvo c70 are giving me the same vibes especially from the side!

[kemscan]

Same video under £1000 would be great! Another good one could be best interiors on a budget?

[markp]

Fast car that looks slow for me! Also have you considered doing some videos on categorised cars? like how much you could save and stuff might be interesting 👍

[conorf]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for

[onorafter]

I have a Astra h sri 1.6 turbo which is 180bhp I removed the turbo badge from the back. Great racing off the lights.

Oil consumption isn’t a well known issue on the a4, it was the later chain driven in the b8 shape a4 that had the issues with the CDNC code and similar with the 1.8 Tfsi

love these videos!
