The Ultimate Car You Can Bring into the US in 2023 Unveiled

As you may be aware, vehicles older than 25 years are not subject to NHTSA’s FMVSS regulations. This means that every new year opens up the possibility of importing cars to the US that were previously unavailable.

With 2023 just a short time away, let’s explore some iconic, sought-after, or simply enjoyable and budget-friendly cars that debuted in 1998. From quick French hatchbacks to exclusive supercars, revered JDM classics, and more, we present the ten most exciting cars that will be eligible for import to the US in 2023.

The renowned Italian luxury brand Isotta Fraschini is making a remarkable return, and we conclude this list with a vehicle that signaled the brand’s resurgence in the late 1990s. Revealed at the 1998 Paris Motor Show, the Isotta Fraschini T8 was one of two concept cars unveiled by Fissore, the other being the V12-powered Isotta Fraschini T12 grand tourer.

Both vehicles were crafted by Tom Tjaarda and prominently featured Audi’s foundations, with the T8 being constructed on the platform of the D2 generation Audi A8. The T8 model utilized Audi’s 4.2-liter V8 engine, quattro all-wheel drive, and borrowed significant elements from the interior of Audi. Presently, all prototypes are in the possession of Corrado Lopresto. However, if the esteemed collector ever decides to part ways with any of them, these vehicles could obtain US registration in 2023.
