First production MR car - the first tricycle Benz (circa 1886)aside, I think it was the Lamborghini Miura in 1966.

First production turbo - not really sure, I'm guesing the first Porsche 911 Turbo (aka 930) in 1975. Superchargers had been used in racing/performance cars since the 30's (Bentley, Alfa, Mercedes etc) but turbos didn't pop up until the 70's I think.

Twin Turbo - no idea! Probably the 911 again, when it went twin turbo.

Sports AWD - I agree that this would be the Jensen Interceptor as noted already.

These are just off the top of my head, so feel free to prove otherwise! Smile

Turbos were around well before the 911 turbo in the seventies so i would say one would of been put into a production car before then, i know porsche uses the twin turbos' on the 993 onwards i have know idea if they did befor that though, in terms of twin turbo it may well be an audi, the F40, 959 porshe, or a porsche 917 (if any road cars were produced). I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot earlier than these though.
