When this car first came out, it was one of the fastest on the road, but it only cost a fraction of other exotics. That made it highly desirable, and what made it even more desirable was when it was called “the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen” by Enzo Ferrari! From 1961 to 1975, the E-Type defined the British sports car. It was stunningly gorgeou...
The Lamborghini Miura was an important car for the auto industry, as it was the first supercar with a rear mid-engined, two-seat layout.

The car sported a 3.0-liter V12 engine, giving it 300 hp, and helping it dominate racetracks around the world...

The 1964 Porsche 911 was famous more for its beauty and ...
