Ford Gran Torino Elite
The Ford Gran Torino Elite earns its place among the worst muscle cars due to a shift away from the aggressive styling and performance associated with the Gran Torino line. Introduced in the mid-’70s, the Elite featured a more luxury-oriented design, sacrificing the muscular attributes that defined its predecessors. Its subdued power and departure from the traditional muscle car image make the Gran Torino Elite a regrettable deviation in Ford’s muscle car history.
