Ford created a limited-to-300-unit hardcore model of the Ford Mustang Cobra pony car based on the "New Edge" Mustang, the facelifted version of the fourth-generation model which runs of Ford's Fox Platform. While many considered it one of the best muscle cars of the new millennium, it's still one of the rarest cars ever to come out in American soil.

The A110 is regarded as one of the most successful rally machines part of the collaboration between Renault and Alpine.

A true champion for drivers at all levels.

1911 Marmon Wasp

The first person to win the inaugural Indianapolis 500 race in 1911 is Ray Harroun and the #32 Marmon Wasp he raced. While the racer's inaugural victory not only placed his mark on the history books, the first racing machine that won its first Indy 500 race also done it. The legend that started it all is still remembered by many and with many decades passed, racing historians still coveted this car for its roots that can be traced to today's IndyCars.

1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

This bewildering muscle car from Ford Motor Company's Mercury brand is worth a swagger in its own bragging rights at the streets and at the drag strips. The Cougar Eliminator comes with the 428 Super Cobra Jet engine delivering over 400HP of power and with a wide array of visual features, your best hope when you encounter one is to stay out of harm's way.

1999 Mazda RX-7

One of the most famous JDM tuners straight from the 90's is none other than the FD-spec Mazda RX-7. With the combination of good looks and striking performance thanks to its trademark rotary engine that powers it, the famed sportscar is worth an eye candy. Even today, it's still a tuner's feast on the road and on the track.

2008 BMW 335i Coupe

For a certain car sommelier of all kinds, how can you add some style on the car that has less doors? Well, add some European flair, state-of-the-art technology, and some German engineering of course, and the E92 3-Series Coupe does suit the necessary qualifications a car sommelier would want. It's stylish, lavishly equipped, loads of performance, and stays in tune with the times with cutting-edge technology. It's striking to look at on city streets and a modest grand tourer on the open roads.

1982 Lamborghini Countach

To continue the Lamborghini tradition that started it all with the Miura, they've created the Countach which is known to be the first-ever Lambo to have scissor-type doors, a clever door mechanism that was been adorned by most V12 flagship Lamborghinis through the years. When it was launched, it comes with the 4.0L V12 engine generating 375PS of power output but for this 1982 model year, this V12 engine that powers the Countach carries a bigger and powerful 4.8L displacement, thus giving the LP 500S nomenclature.

2025 Mazda Kaan

At the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge, a selection of carmakers send on their top designers to envision futuristic concepts fit for the year 2025. For Mazda, their vision 2025 is an electric racer designed to compete in the E1 races. They foresee that in the future, the freeways of California have been resurfaced with a sub-level electro conductive polymer that powers modern electric cars. The Kaan's inspiration comes from electric fields and textures from nature. It comes with a patented electronic tire system to send the Kaan at a top speed of over 250mph with no harmful emissions.

1986 Ford RS200 Evolution

The iconic RS200 is Ford's rally legend made to compete for the WRC's Group B racing. To comply with homologation regulations, 200 of these models were made. By the time the RS200 is ready to compete, major carmakers competing in this group have been struggling and numerous fatal accidents spell the end of Group B rallying but the RS200 story didn't end there. What they did to the remaining 200 cars is adding some carpets on it and make it a road-going supercar. The road cars can reach a 0-60mph time in a sub-6 second mark and most geared at 150mph, all with four-wheel drive. Even today, the RS200 is a rarity.

1983 Lancia 037 Stradale

One of the most memorable rally cars made for Group B rallying, the 037 is loosely based on the Montecarlo and it's served as the replacement to the iconic Stratos. Developed in cooperation with Abarth, the 037 is powered by a 2.0L engine from a Fiat Abarth 131, developing 265HP of power. At the hands of Markku Alén, Attilio Bettega, and Walter Röhrl, the Lancia 037 is the last rear-wheel drive to win the WRC, especially the manufacturer's world championship in 1983. As always, for homologation purposes, 200 road-going versions are made and the road-legal version produces 60HP less than the rally car.

2012 Renault Alpine A110-50

To celebrate the classic Renault Alpine A110's 50th birthday, the French carmaker revealed some sort of a homage concept, signalling the return of their high-performance Alpine brand in the future. Although, this concept racer looks very different from the original Alpine, the A110-50 is born to take on the world-class racetracks if it wishes to do so. It comes with the 3.5L 6-cylinder engine mounted in the middle producing 400HP of power and 422Nm of torque, while connected to a 6-speed sequential gearbox. Because it weighs 880kg, the A110-50's power-to-weight ratio is exceptionally good.

2011 Ferrari FF

Launched at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the FF shook the world by its storm because for the first time, the FF is the first ever Ferrari to come with 4-seats. Not only that, this is the first ever Ferrari to come with four-wheel drive but this drivetrain is a bit different from what you think about because the FF comes with Ferrari's own 4RM four-wheel drive system where the torque is still delivered by the rear wheels while power can also be transferred to the front wheels when necessary. It comes with a new kind of V12 engine with direct injection technology, giving this a 0-100kph time of 3.7 seconds. After its announcement, a full-year supply of the FF has been sold out quickly.

2005 Nissan 350Z

The legendary Nissan Z-car returned for the 21st century, bearing the chassis code of Z33. Although the 350Z is way beyond compare from the predecessors, this sportscar combines luxury and sportiness altogether to create a high-performance sportscar that can compete against its European rivals. As an everyday car, the 350Z is all about staying true to its grand touring character but as a tuner car, this really is quite a head-turner if enthusiasts take all the effort to tune the Z33 to a million ways.

2009 Pontiac G8

The muscular sport saloon, the Pontiac G8, is another Pontiac that was imported from Australia via Holden just like the last-generation GTO sports coupe. Even though it's a four-door saloon car, it's still a V8 muscle everyone can afford. The most powerful version is the the one with the 6.2L V8 engine producing 415HP of power. Even though the crowd is raving for the most affordable V8 car, the Pontiac was prematurely discontinued following with General Motors pulling the plug on the Pontiac division in the year 2010. Even though it's no longer available to us, the G8 is a rare car to see on American roads and served as the last Pontiac ever made.

1980 Renault 5 Turbo

Before the Clio V6 emerged from the late 90's, there was the 5 Turbo in the 80's and like its spiritual successor, the R5 Turbo is a mid-engined hot hatch which comes with the 1.4L turbo engine producing 160PS of power. The first 400 models were made to comply WRC's Group 4 homologation and from 1981 to 1986, the Renault 5 Turbo racked up four victories! The 5 Turbo is just one of the most memorable sports cars ever made by the French.

2011 BMW X5

The BMW X5 first adopted the word Sport Activity Vehicle, which is kinda more of a marketing term for BMW's full size SUV and for its second-generation, the X5 still progresses further with a wide range of engine choices, cutting edge-technology on and off the road, and a luxury interior fit for a businessman to cozy around. There's even a high-performance M version as well.

2004 Acura NSX

Shortly after Honda launched their facelifted NSX for the 2002, Acura followed suit for the NSX facelift since 2004 as a 2005 model year. The biggest change is the lamps because they've replaced the old retractable headlights with a fixed squarish headlights to add some style on Honda's only midship sportscar. Midship aside, the NSX is powered by a 3.2L V6 engine which produces 290HP of power and 224lb-ft of torque.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

Ever since General Motors lifted the ban on high displacement on midsize cars, Chevrolet's Chevelle SS 454 herald the rise of the 455-cid mills, even though this car has a 454-cid V8 engine on it. This model could actually have two different 454-cid engines but the best thing to put in the SS 454 is the one with the LS6 engine on it because it comes with the 800-cfm four-barrel on the aluminum manifold, better compression ratio, and tons of enhancements. No other engine had a higher factory horsepower rating than this when it came out in the 70's.

2000 Honda Suki's S2000

A custom machine made for Suki from 2 Fast 2 Furios, the sequel to The Fast and The Furious movie where Brian O'Connor teams up with convict Roman to take down a criminal mastermind in Miami. It uses the 2000 Honda S2000 as its base. For a tuner car, it looks stylish, fast, and drop-dead gorgeous, suiting Suki's personality as a street racer. The pink coloring adds a nice touch, too.

2003 Bentley Continental GT

This pure British beauty combines the luxuriousness of a premium saloon car with the sportiness of a sportscar, making this ultra-expensive gran tourer doubles as a daily driver, luxury cruising on the city streets and sporty driving on the open roads. The Bentley Continental GT comes with the 6.0L W12 twin-turbo engine mated with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, which delivers supercar-like performance in a luxury packaging. This is the first time this Bentley was made under the supervision of its new owner Volkswagen ever since they took over the British marque in 1998.

1963 Aston Martin DB5

This classic Aston Martin needs no description because this is well known to be the famous Bond car a secret agent would drive for. Aston Martin cars and James Bond movies have been hand-to-hand for decades and ever since it showed up in the Bond movie, Goldfinger, it sparked a wondrous partnership between Aston Martin and James Bond. Having one of these feels like you're a secret agent from Her Majesty's Secret Service.

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

For its second facelift on the second-generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi, this tuner favorite born from the success in World Rally Championship gets even more fiercer than before, probably thanks to its reworked grille that was inspired from its aircraft roots. Of course, Subaru, the carmaker, was born from its aircraft beginnings as Nakajima Aircraft, but this is no time for history lesson. For the 2006 model WRX STi, it's powered by an EJ25 boxer engine developing 280PS of power, comes with the updated DCCD, and the added wheelbase as found on the JDM Spec C model.

1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible

For the 1970 model year GTO, the hidden headlamps have been replaced by four round headlamps exposed on the front view and the grille openings are now narrower. It even comes with an updated suspension courtesy of a rear anti-roll bar used on the Oldsmobile 442 and the Buick Gran Sport. This model features a new optional 455 HO engine, moments after General Motors lifted the ban on engines larger than 400. The convertible version still offers the same updates as the hardtop version but with the roof open, it's worth an enjoyable cruiser on the road ahead.



1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

The reason why some people called the Ferrari the Daytona, although it's an unofficial name Ferrari never used on this classic sports car, is theoretically it's because of Ferrari's 1-2-3 finish in the February 1967 24 Hours of Daytona with the 330 P4. This classic sports car isn't related to the 330 P4 but still one of the top sports cars of the 1970's as voted by Sports Car International. It's powered by a 4.4L V12 engine produces 357PS of power, propels from 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds, and a top speed of 174mph. That's quicker even by today's standards but still impressive. Richard Hammond drove this in the Series 12 episode of Top Gear against James May in an XSR 48 boat in a race through Monaco.



2008 Citroen GT Concept

Citroen, one of the most notable French carmakers in the history well known for their "creative technology", and Gran Turismo, a multi-million selling Playstation series of all time. What happens when you combine the two? The result is the eye-popping Citroen GT Concept. Premiered at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, this concept is the first ever car to be specifically designed to bring the virtual and real worlds together.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

In the year 1966, General Motors created what its known to be a competitor against the Ford Mustang, which is known to be the most famous muscle car of all time. The Chevrolet Camaro, a fiery creation from General Motors, sparked the muscle car wars and it was a heck of a battle for these two. Although the first Camaro maybe a bit of a lackluster than the first Mustang in terms of first-year sales and popularity, it offers a wide selection of engine choices, even a big V8 engine on it.

2012 Aston Martin Cygnet

Aston Martin makes supercars with big engines on it but when you discovered that they made a posh city car known as the Cygnet, you are beginning to ask why did they make this. Even though it's an Aston Martin, it's still just a Japanese compact in a British posh spice because the Cygnet is based on the Toyota iQ and it's powered by the 1.3L 1NR-FE Dual VVT-i engine that carries 98bhp/6000rpm of power output, 125nm/4400 of torque output, and Euro 5 compliant.

2012 Aston Martin Cygnet

1992 BMW M3

The E36 BMW M3 maybe just a sports coupe from the 90's but this is no headturner as this M3 powered by a straight-six engine is one of the sportiest Bimmers ever made because of its balanced proportions and its unmatched performance most car enthusiasts enjoy. It's also a favorite among track and circuit racers everywhere.

2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept

Designed by a Japanese, this race-spec Viper concept is designed to be more track focused in mind but surprisingly, this concept racer served as the foundation for the Viper's 2003 full model change. Osamu Shikado, the man responsible for this concept, told that the GTS-R Concept's profile is provided by a higher belt line, dramatic side gill, 'bump-up' rear fender shape and a more defined side crease. Quite a satisfying eye-candy for the enthusiasts, though.

1999 Lamborghini Diablo GTR

As the the 21st century drawn near, the Lamborghini Diablo, the V12 flagship Lambo of the 90's, reaches its fond farewell and what's better for the Diablo's swan song is a more track-focused racecar called the Diablo GTR. Based from the GT model, the GTR is the hardcore Diablo that has all of its concessions of luxury removed to make it driver-focused on the track. Only 30 of these were made, making this one of the rare breed in the Lamborghini legacy.

2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Racecar

Having made its world premiere at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the race-spec version of the uber-luxurious Continental GT coupe signals the Crewe-based carmaker's return to motorsports and it should be ready for its maiden voyage at the FIA Blancpain Series next year. The GT3 Racecar weighs 2,200 less than the normal CGT and the V8 engine that powers it is a real monster of a magnitude. It produces about 600HP, 0-60mph below three seconds, and top speed above 200mph. Not your father's Bentley anymore!

1999 Nissan Silvia Spec-R

Possibly the final-generation of Nissan's cult-favorite FR drift tuner, the S15 Silvia is quite a better-looking Silvia even by modern standards. It may have the same 2.0L engine as the other predecessors, famously the S13 and the S14 Silvias of yesteryears, but thanks to the improved mechanism, the S15 is by no means the sportiest Silvia ever made. The S15 was launched in early 1999, which is coincidentally the same year as the R34 Skyline GT-R was launched.

1968 Ford GT40

In the 1960's, Ford originally planned to buy Italian sportscar maker Ferrari but when Enzo Ferrari rejected Ford's plan to buy it, the American carmaker is plotting revenge against Ferrari over the rejected transaction and what would Ford do? Make their own Le Mans racer to take on the likes of the Ferrari. The GT40 was the response to take on Le Mans' finest and this is the first car in history to win the race more than once with the same chassis. This is the road-legal version of Ford's Le Mans winner and only seven of these were made. Although it's identical to the Mk.I GT40, the 4.7L engine was detuned to 335HP of power while the mechanism has been calibrated to road use.

2006 Hummer H1 Alpha

A Humvee for everyone, that's what best describes the Hummer H1 not only because it resembles like the Humvee that the US military troops used in their missions but it remains one of the favorite among high-profile personalities, especially actor turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thanks to new emission law for diesel engines, 2006 is the last model year for the H1 and that seems to be quite a shame even though Hummer is gone in 2010. The Alpha model was more of a revised H1 with the 6.6L Duramax V8 diesel engine mated with a 5-speed gearbox.

With the return of the SRT Viper, the American supercar for the masses has been redefined for the next century and for this race-spec GTS-R version, it's good to say that Chrysler is back in the game of Le Mans with that one. There are two different GTS-Rs compete in the production-based GT class of the 2012 American Le Mans Series but both of these come equipped with the Michelin GT tires extending the successful technical partnership.

2010 Citroen Survolt

French automaker Citroen showcased the bewitching Survolt concept car at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and this concept car is more of a racecar with an added twist - it's electric. It maybe innovative and sensual but overall, the Survolt is elegantly sporty which transcends power and excitement for years to come.

1975 Mazda RX-3

Once a rival to the legendary Nissan Skyline of that era, this rotary-powered classic JDM tuner was once a track monster in its own right and it made 50% of Mazda's sales before the RX-7. Even though it's essentially based on the Mazda Grand Familia and it's sold in Japan as the Mazda Savanna, this classic rotary is powered by a 2x491cc Wankel rotary engine that delivers smooth power in a lightweight body.

The Chevrolet Corvette is hailed as the king of American sports cars because of its stand-out performance, provocative design, and the long-running heritage that truly makes this American sports car more than just a car, it's just one of the many things what America has to offer. For this C6 Corvette, the legend of the Corvette still going on strong. Launched in 2004, the C6 Corvette is powered by a 6.0 L LS2 V8 that produces 400 horsepower 542Nm of torque.

2011 Lotus Evora Type 124

The Lotus Evora, the one with the Toyota V6 engine in the middle, may not be an enthusiast's car but Lotus wanted to make it a bit more racy by creating a track-only Evora Type 124, which is built for Endurance racing. It has the same design cues as the normal Evora but because it has a big rear spoiler, stripped-off interior with racing peripherals, and the improved Toyota V6 that develops 400HP of power and 400lb-ft of torque, this race-spec Evora is armed and ready to take on numerous endurance races including the Nurburgring, Silverstone, or at the Dubai Autodrome.

2012 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

One of the most highly-anticipated Ferraris since its debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show is the new Ferrari F12. This 599 successor is powered by one of the most powerful V12 engines ever made and it churns out over 740PS of power and 690Nm of torque. Aside from the raw power developed from its throaty V12 engine, it comes with a very clever aerodynamics which channels air from its hood to along its sides for added downforce. Because this new supercar is beyond the competition, the new Ferrari F12 is awarded as Top Gear's Supercar of the Year 2012.

2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Although the Spyder version is about a hundred kilograms heavier than its hardtop equivalent, the Gallardo Spyder still is a fun-to-drive everyday supercar if you want to stand out from the rest. In fact, this car has been reviewed in Top Gear with some enthusiasm by presenter Jeremy Clarkson and when handed to The Stig, it was surprisingly quicker than its hardtop version, which of course irrelevant because the hardtop version was tested in the wet course while the Spyder version went through the track in normal conditions.

2010 Citroen DS3 Racing

Although drawing some inspiration from the WRC machine that Sebastien Loeb drove in the championship, this limited-edition high-performance version of the DS3 premium compact hatchback is powered by a 1.6L turbo engine uprooted by Citroen Racing, delivering 207HP of power and 275Nm of torque. It may not quite be the best hot hatch but because with all the writings on it, it's a favorite among enthusiasts, even Jeremy Clarkson himself.

2009 Pagani Cinque Roadster

With the Cinque, Pagani managed to wave goodbye to the Zonda with five coupe units but for the Roadster version, five of these models truly wave goodbye to the hypercar that gave birth to the company. Although it is an open-top version of the final farewell for the Zonda, it still comes with the same AMG V12 engine that generates 678HP of power and powerful brakes that has a stopping power from 200kph to a halt in 4.3 seconds. It was the first to feature a new composite material called Carbotanium, a mixture of carbon fiber and titanium.

The EK-spec Civic Hatchback is a one step further from the tuner-favorite EG-spec Civic hatchback. Although more of a full model change, it's still a favorite among tuners everywhere because being a Honda, it will always have a wide reputation of being tuned by hardcore car enthusiasts. No matter the age, it's still one of the coolest JDM hatchbacks known to men.

2012 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Sesto Elemento means Sixth Element in Italian and when you look that up in the periodic table of elements, that sixth element is carbon, making this a carbon-wrapped masterpiece only Lamborghini could ever think of and it's a track-only monster so you can't use it on the road sadly. Even though it's powered by the same 5.2L V10 from the Gallardo, it takes 2.5 seconds to accumulate a 0-60mph sprint and because it weighs less than the subcompacts, it has a stronger power to weight ratio of 0.57 hp/kg.

1986 Toyota Corolla

The AE86-spec Toyota Corolla GTS or what the Japanese calls it the Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex is notably one of the most notable JDM hatchbacks in its existence but there's more to it than that because despite being a rear-wheel drive hatchback for the enthusiasts, it's well known to be Takumi Fujiwara's car of choice in Initial D.

1996 Lotus Esprit V8

With the Esprit production ended in the year 2004, this signalled the end of a Lotus V8, therefore this is better known to be the last of the V8 Lotuses ever made. Although redesigned by Julian Thompson, the Esprit V8 features an all-aluminum twin turbo 3.5L V8 engine which develops around 350bhp of power, therefore a 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds and top speeds of over 175 mph. It may not be a half-decent supercar but the Esprit still retains the British bulldog spirit from within.

1932 Ford Rat Rod

A rat rod is another kind of hot rod which may look unfinished based on their status but it was made simply to be driven. This clear example of a rat rod is a 1930's Ford Model A and judging by the way this rat rod looks, this unfinished exterior looks more intimidating and as for the driving essentials, it takes an expert to master the past-century beast but still it's worth the sound rather than using it as a marketing display. Be wary though that because this hot rod's slammed to the max, getting through the ramps and humps will be extremely difficult.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Zombie Survival Machine

Hyundai makes the rounds again when they came back at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con in collaboration with The Walking Dead to create another Zombie Survival Machine. This time, their new Zombie Survival Machine displayed at the SDCC 2013 was based on the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Now fully armed with weapons including chainsaws on the front bumper, machine guns on the hood and the roof and a whole lot of zombie-proof inventories, this Veloster is worthy enough to take down the army of the undead.
