Hoffman was so sure of himself that he committed to buying 1,000 SLs in order to justify his pitch to the factory.

But what really left an impression was the way the Miura looked. Styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it\u2019s often cited as one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

It was so powerful, Pirelli had to develop a new tyre specially for it. There are no carpets, no creature comforts, no traction control. In short, if it isn\u2019t strictly necessary to make the F40 go fast, it isn\u2019t included. Even the red paintwork is kept as light as possible; you can still see the carbon fibre weave underneath it! The<\/p>\n<p>F40 was designed as an open-wheel racing car, to which the clamshell bodywork was fitted over the chassis. Styling was entrusted to Ferrari\u2019s favourite carrozzeria &#8211; Pininfarina.

The brainchild of engineering guru Gordon Murray, the F1 featured the world\u2019s first carbon fibre monocoque chassis. The use of exotic materials didn\u2019t stop there, with Kevlar, magnesium, and even gold being used extensively in the car\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n<p>Murray was adamant that it would be naturally aspirated to make the F1 as controllable as possible, so a 6.1-litre V12 courtesy of BMW was mounted amidships. The F1\u2019s unusual three-seater layout, with the driver sitting centrally, gave the F1 the feel of an open-wheel formula car &#8211; and it had the performance and handling to match. Famous McLaren F1 customers included Rowan Atkinson, George Harrison, Nick Mason, Jay Leno, and Ralph Lauren. Even Tesla founder Elon Musk was seduced by one of these V12 monsters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/lamborghini\/C1928435\/1988-lamborghini-countach-68a58c08d37b9.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=e77b86a5c390b1c35cf09617f3186d6c\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">5) Lamborghini Countach<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Arguably a bigger \u201880s icon than even Madonna, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/20\/f40\/\">Lamborghini Countach<\/a> was originally commissioned as a successor to the Miura. To do so, it would really have to make an impact, and with the benefit of hindsight, we can certainly confirm that the Countach did just that. Unashamedly angular in its proportions, the Countach was styled by the very same man who penned the Miura &#8211; Marcello Gandini. On the face of it, the two cars look very different, but both are equally striking. With a fire-breathing V12 at its heart, and often a striking yet entirely superfluous wing at the back, the Countach was &#8217;80s excess at its finest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/ferrari\/C1880435\/1991-ferrari-testarossa-682329dd86445.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=3ae7868f037f897eda31fba8dffe7486\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">6) Ferrari Testarossa<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With its dramatic, wide-hinded styling courtesy of Pininfarina, the twelve-cylinder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/20\/testarossa\/\">Testarossa<\/a> is an all-too-fitting reaction to the Countach. The two were fierce, space-age rivals that took up as much space on &#8216;man-cave&#8217; manifestation walls as they did the best car rankings of their day, with famous owners ranging from Rod Stewart to Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re still achingly handsome, still brutally fast, and those signature side strakes have become an aftermarket inspo for any car with wide arches.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-34602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-2000x1000.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-765x383.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-1020x510.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pagani-Zonda-F-51-02-Esterni-1800x900.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">7) Pagani Zonda<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the late \u201890s, the world of supercars and hypercars didn\u2019t have a natural, unfulfilled niche. Not many people had the deep pockets required to buy one, and if they did, they went straight to Ferrari or Lamborghini to satisfy their high-speed urges.<\/p>\n<p>Pagani changed that. The 6L C12 and then the 7.3L C12-S combined cutting-edge composite technology with viscerally quick Mercedes powerplants. Clever, but perhaps not entirely new. The firm\u2019s twist was to make the Zonda as much of a design masterpiece as a road warrior. It looked quite unlike anything else, whilst inside, the interior had a designer\u2019s eye for detail. Horacio Pagani knew that his cars would spend more time being admired in static collections than actually being driven, and he conceived them accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>That is not to say that driving a Zonda isn\u2019t brilliant. Reviewers have been frothing about them since the first cars were produced over 25 years ago. Just 150 were built, and they rarely appear in public or on roads, which tends to suggest Horacio was right.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spykercars.com\/media\/heritage\/2000_bg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">8) Spyker C8<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From time to time, a group of enthusiasts and investors gets together, likely in a ski lodge, probably involving a lot of Dom Perignon, and decides that the best way to burn through their fortunes is to build their dream supercar. The rest of us grab the popcorn, admire the daring first fruits of their endeavours and sit back and wait for the inevitable implosion. Spyker is different. Despite the bold goal of building a new supercar from scratch, it has endured since 1999 and produced a steady flow of cars.<\/p>\n<p>To create its boutique V8-powered supercar, the team rejuvenated the name of a historic Dutch carriage maker and turned every single dial up to 11. The C8 is like a high-end designer watch, a beautiful and exquisitely detailed car that is as much an aesthetic triumph as four-wheeled transport.

Ideally, a trailer too. Make that a mobile workshop, if funds allow. Most of these cars emanated from Italy, and the products of Maranello, Sant\u2019Agata, and Modena were rather stronger on Latin verve than reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Step forward, Honda. Just like Ford with its GT40 two decades earlier, the Japanese outfit had a point to prove, and that was that a lowly builder of humdrum shopping trolleys could be more than a match for Maranello et al.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/20\/testarossa\/\">NSX<\/a> is the supercar you can buy with head and heart. It was utterly reliable and devastatingly good. Ayrton Senna was heavily involved in its development and loved the result so much that he owned several. The car has evolved through generations, but it doesn\u2019t matter whether you buy one from 1990 or 2022; you\u2019re getting a supercar that proves you really can have it all.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/shelby\/C1892239\/1964-shelby-cobra-683f07b3a5157.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=355f63717f2f2239b95e023487ad382e\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">10) Shelby Cobra<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you come across muscle car madness in the 1960s, chances are that Shelby is to blame. The AC Shelby Cobra was the result of Carol Shelby shoehorning a Ford V8 into a svelte British AC sports car. With an excellent power-to-weight ratio and handling honed by some of the best chassis engineers of the day, the Cobra became practically unbeatable on the US race circuit, cementing the reputation of Shelby American and paving the way for the GT40.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/bmw\/C1924733\/1980-bmw-m1-689a0891a4635.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=e4e18d7e1452b84fbd598dfc1e61860b\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">11) BMW M1<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In case the name wasn\u2019t a giveaway, the M car tradition began here. BMW wanted to challenge Porsche in Group 5 racing, so it asked Giugiaro and Lamborghini to engineer a fresh-sheet car to do exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>As perhaps could have been predicted, just one part of that plan worked. In the 1970s, the chaps at Sant\u2019Agata operated a less positive balance between lunch time and work time, a balance that later improved with Volkswagen ownership, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/carandclassic.com\/list\/10\/m1\/\">M1<\/a> project rather went off the rails. The car was completed by Italengineering and went on sale in 1978, equipped with a brand new M88 3.5L straight six engine.<\/p>\n<p>Racing homologation required 400 to be built, and in the end, 453 left the works. A dedicated race series ran alongside the 1979 Formula One season and was won by Nikki Lauda. In the 1980s, the car ran at Le Mans, proving successful.<\/p>\n<p>For years, the M1 has been viewed as an unusual departure for an otherwise highly focused car company. Today, its crucial role in the development of M cars is indisputable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/download.newsroom.porsche.com\/dam\/jcr:14b8999b-c842-4e7f-ac5b-0c00b475e3d5\/959.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">12) Porsche 959<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the early \u201880s, everyone was learning from tractors and trucks. Harry Ferguson\u2019s Ferguson Formula had paved the way in the \u201860s, and in the late \u201870s, Audi popularised it with the Quattro. Porsche saw the future and wanted in on the action.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/35\/959\/\">959<\/a> was developed to exploit the 911 format in combination with the firm\u2019s fledgling AWD technology. Naturally, because 4WD obviously meant rallying, Porsche would take its new supercar rallying. Of course it would.<\/p>\n<p>Of course it did. A pre-production 959 would snatch the title on the \u201884 Paris-Dakar-Paris rally and go on to take a \u2018one-two\u2019 victory in 1986. It made the Martini-liveried 959 world famous.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, only the famous could actually buy one because they cost $225,000 new, equivalent to $640,000 now. Bill Gates had one, so did Jerry Seinfeld. Just 292 were sold. Today, they trade at upwards of $1 million. Which, when you consider the rest of this list, is a bit of a supercar bargain. No need to thank us now.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/ferrari\/12645745.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=f199587b2497d66f587aa3fbf629ca72\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">13) Ferrari 365 GTB\/4 \u2018Daytona\u2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the 1960s, Enzo saw his road cars as a means to an end, with that end being funds for racing.

Whether the mid-\u201960s Ferruccio-Enzo rivalry and the beauty of the Miura, launched two years earlier, made the Daytona better than its predecessors, we\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n<p>The Glitterati, including Frank Sinatra and Peter Sellers, queued up to buy Daytonas. Just 1,406 were built. It set the GT style template and influenced hundreds of copycats, most famously the Rover SD1. Ferrari has never officially acknowledged the Daytona name, but it has tried to \u2018re-imagine\u2019 the shape. The original will always be the best.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/dodge\/C1931115\/1996-dodge-viper-68ad8a7ef2e35.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=de88a984831363115ec40fb99cccefd4\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">14) Dodge Viper<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Shelby Cobra was, and still is, brilliant. So brilliant that many replicas and evolution models have arrived in the decades since the original was built. But they have all concentrated on recycling and evolving. Nobody has ever asked, \u2018What would a brand new, modern Cobra be like?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Except Bob Lutz. Bob, as head honcho at Chrysler, was in the fortunate position of being able to ask the question and demand an answer.<\/p>\n<p>Result: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/50\/viper\/\">Dodge Viper<\/a>, a snarling, spitting, 8.0-litre V10-powered supercar monster. Just like the Cobra, it took the simple idea of putting a big engine in a light car and made it as good as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Viper is the sort of car you can\u2019t imagine going anything but sideways in a cloud of tyre smoke. You can hear the rumbling V10 just by looking at a photo.

Certainly, without it, there would be no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/21\/gt40\/\">Ford GT40<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This car only exists because Ford couldn\u2019t buy Ferrari. In a fit of pique, it commissioned a car that would beat Enzo at its own game, namely, win Le Mans. So-called because it was 40in high, the GT40 did exactly that, helped by a team of blue-chip racers. The car won every year from 1966 to 1969 and fundamentally changed how its competitors designed cars.

Not an obvious idea, we\u2019ll admit, but this was the early 90s, and chutzpah pervaded the Browns Lane board room after decades of underinvestment.<\/p>\n<p>The story of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/22\/xj220\/\">XJ220<\/a> is all about the yawning gap between plans and reality. It was meant to be a V12-powered AWD technological tour de force. After a very long wait, what the eagerly expectant buyers got was a V6 RWD car, albeit one that looked fantastic and went just as quickly as any V12. Orders were swiftly cancelled, and Jaguar struggled to shift them, with just 282 being produced. The car has never quite shaken off that disappointment. That is a huge shame because it is one of the best-looking, innovative and boldest supercars built by a firm too often associated with recycling its design heritage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/lotus\/C1938449\/1983-lotus-esprit-68c425c392abe.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=44e1998d00b0bc56a719892f520bec48\" alt=\"supercar\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">18) Lotus Esprit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s been 53 years since Guigiaro wowed visitors to the Turin Show with his simply named \u2018Silver Car\u2019 concept.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/12\/veyron%2016.4\/\">Veyron<\/a> was the brainchild of Ferdinand Piech, who, for perhaps personal as well as professional reasons, wanted to build the best car in the world. To do that, he had to say \u2018no\u2019 a lot. Every time any of his engineers said something couldn\u2019t be done, he said that short, simple word.<\/p>\n<p>The result is unquestionably one of, if not the, greatest supercar of the petrol-powered era. 1001bhp &#8211; that extra 1bhp feels crucial &#8211; from its W16 8L engine puts over 200mph in reach. Its performance was so \u2018out there\u2019 that special tyres had to be made.<\/p>\n<p>There are different flavours of Veyron, but any Veyron is worth savouring. It celebrates its 20th birthday in 2025, and yet it is still a performance and driving benchmark. To many, it remans the ultimate supercar.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/new\/24550601\/48444b0f-54ae-4914-a0f0-5633618c918a.jpeg?fit=crop&amp;h=600&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=800&amp;s=4d475221e4bbc2e97be59315957852fb\" alt=\"Aston Martin V8 vantage For Sale | Car and Classic\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">20) Aston Martin V8 Vantage<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For too long, Porsche had the supercar mid-market sewn up with the 911. Its evolution into the 996 made it the default choice for anyone who wanted a premium-badged sports car. It was a surprise, then, when a tiny British builder of hand-crafted GTs decided to get in on the act.<\/p>\n<p>That company was Aston Martin and the car was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/7\/v8%20vantage\/\">V8 Vantage<\/a>. Channelling the styling of the DB9 into a more compact sports car was inspired, using proven Jaguar V8 mechanicals likewise. The new car retained the sense of a boutique, hand-built sports car, which made the 996 immediately look common and mass-produced in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>That it was also very good to drive and devastatingly quick helped cement the V8 Vantage\u2019s reputation. It&#8217;s probably not the sort of louche GT Bond would favour, but perhaps that\u2019s all to the good. There are many flavours of V8 Vantage, but any example will reward the buyer on the road and, of course, in the garage whenever you take a sneaky peek.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/lancia\/C1888697\/1975-lancia-stratos-68383e9cae266.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=fa8e290883c7ff5477fb6fb690eb6779\" alt=\"supercar\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">21) Lancia Stratos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Open a dictionary for the definition of \u2018blue sky thinking\u2019 and likely you\u2019ll find a picture of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/27\/stratos\/\">Lancia Stratos<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t, and still isn\u2019t, an obvious idea, namely a rally car that looks like a supercar that just arrived from outer space. But desperation is the breeding ground for invention.<\/p>\n<p>The desperation in this case was Bertone\u2019s. It wanted a way to work with Lancia, which had always worked with Pininfarina. A chink of opportunity came in the form of the ageing Fulvia, for which cash-strapped Lancia needed a rallying replacement. Bertone tasked Marcello Gandini, fresh from the Miura and busy with the Countach, to pen a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>What he created was based on the Fulvia chassis, but there the similarity ended. Chiselled, wedgy and with an abruptly curtailed rear, the Stratos looked unlike any other road or rally car and, thanks to its Ferrari Dino V8, went unlike them either.<\/p>\n<p>Bedecked in iconic Marlboro, Alitalia and Martini liveries, the Stratos took podium after podium from 1974 to 1981, by which time the arrival of Audi\u2019s Quattro put paid to its reign. The German was better, but was it more beautiful and characterful? Nope.

Choosing to found a car company is the riskiest of risks; choosing to found one that aims to build the fastest supercars in the world is a whole other league of step-off-cliff craziness.<\/p>\n<p>First Christian created the CCR, which made rivals and reviewers sit up and take notice. It was ridiculously quick. Then, in 2006, still aged just 34, he launched the CCX, the firm\u2019s first global car. Here was a car with everything dialled to 11, including an engine hand-built to Formula One levels of engineering and tolerance. Its twin supercharged V8 delivers over 800bhp.<\/p>\n<p>Only the Veyron is faster, and it is practically mass-produced compared to the 29 CCXs so far built.

But perhaps the real reason lies closer to home. Because until the R8 arrived, Porsche really had no rival in the \u2018supercar that works as an everyday car\u2019 niche. Until the R8 arrived, with its impeccable Audi engineering, if you wanted a supercar you could use daily, the only option started with a 9.<\/p>\n<p>It helped that the VAG could share the development cost with Lamborghini, whose Gallardo is closely related to the R8. Where the Italian was a little more, how shall we say, \u2018handbuilt,\u2019 the R8 was constructed to the same standard as Audi\u2019s regular road cars. There was also a wide range of engines and that classic Quattro drivetrain, all wrapped in the sort of mid-engined show-stopping bodywork that instantly made the 911 look ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Production ended in 2024, so in a sense, the 911 won.

Instead of slapping tariffs on these British and Italian upstarts, Detroit responded by playing them at their own game.<\/p>\n<p>Sort of. The original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/47\/corvette\/\">Corvette<\/a> was conceived as a European-themed sports car, but bigger, more comfortable and certainly more chrome-oriented than those \u2018old world\u2019 rivals. The first cars weren\u2019t very quick, but Chevy\u2019s new small block V8 quickly fixed that.<\/p>\n<p>Almost every subsequent generation of Corvette has been era-defining. If you want your movie to evoke a certain place and time, dump a Corvette in shot. Ditto imbuing your character with a certain louche, tyre-smoking flair, put them in a Corvette.<\/p>\n<p>That Chevy has continued to keep the Corvette relevant over eight generations and close to 75 years is, frankly, one of motoring\u2019s greatest achievements.

Eventually, Peter packed in the GT lark and turned to the more lucrative pastime of inventing the five-door Range Rover.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YdHYOnj6DieTgAYf2jQBj0bwrWbpDGRT3zx9X3sr-765x510.jpg\" alt=\"Iso, Grifo, targa, Iso Grifo Targa, Series I, Series 1, conversion, rare, classic car, retro car, Italian car, motoring, automotive, car and classic, carandclassic.co.uk, car and classic auctions, V8, '60s car, unique\" width=\"765\" height=\"510\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">32) Iso Grifo<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We may need a beige raincoat and a ludicrous French accent here, but nobody, and we mean nobody, expected the Grifo. Iso founder Renzo Rivolta invented the microcar and called it the Isetta, which then found fame and many customers as a BMW.<\/p>\n<p>Pivoting to build big, expensive GTs was, therefore, not an obvious idea. The Grifo wasn\u2019t Renzo\u2019s first foray into grand touring, but it was arguably his best. Styled by Giugiaro, engineered by Bizarrini and powered by Corvette engines, the Grifo was and is one of the most beautiful and capable supercar GTs of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this being the world of boutique car building in 1960s Italy, not many were built. Even a monster 7L version couldn\u2019t push production past 413. But, like many on this list, it\u2019s the Grifo\u2019s rarity that is key to its appeal.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/cars\/bizzarrini\/C1802605\/1968-bizzarrini-5300-gt-stradale-672d879f7ac58.jpg?ar=16%3A9&amp;auto=&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=1200&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=80&amp;w=1200&amp;s=8227d2d68275c68ae1ca99cc9e3008e9\" alt=\"1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT in Germany - For Sale | Car &amp; Classic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">33) Bizzarini Strada<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Strada is another one of those cars born out of Italian car makers\u2019 tendency to get stroppy with one another. Giotti Bizzarini and Renzo Rivolta worked together at Iso, but one wanted to go racing and one wanted to build GT cars.<\/p>\n<p>The result was a falling out and the creation of two cars with common architecture. The Bizzarini Strada is essentially a track-focused Iso Grifo. When that architecture was conceived by ex-Ferrari engineer Bizarrini, you know you\u2019re in the presence of greatness.<\/p>\n<p>Like Enzo, Giotti\u2019s real passion was racing, but racing means bills to pay. So 133 Stradas were built for, most of which have then become evocative historic racers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/new\/24458782\/2011-lexus-lfa-68c8b2cbb269f.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=14848f88c9b30df52b824d43da40b4c1\" alt=\"supercar\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">34) Lexus LFA<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Evo magazine has called it \u2018the ultimate Japanese supercar\u2019, but even that feels unfair. Because the \u2018Lexus Future Apex\u2019 is much better than that, it can lay a fair claim to being the ultimate supercar.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Veyron, the LFA was the pet project of the man in charge, in this case, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda. With sales flagging, he wanted both a flagship and a technological showcase. Thanks to the sort of exacting standards that Ferdinand Piech would admire &#8211; in itself something of an achievement &#8211; it took nearly a decade to happen, but the LFA was and is utterly brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a3340,000, this 555bhp, V10 engineering marvel was rather expensive for a Lexus but arguably pretty cheap for a car that was better than any Ferrari. Just 500 were built and, today, 15 years on from its introduction, it remains one of the best ways to experience four-wheeled transport.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carandclassic.com\/uploads\/new\/22919989\/b0cdffc4-92e6-40dd-94e3-a66b96060fd4.jpg?fit=fillmax&amp;h=3000&amp;ixlib=php-4.1.0&amp;q=85&amp;w=3000&amp;s=140200d4af911a40d367f9df6a8e2afa\" alt=\"supercar\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\">35) Jensen Interceptor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Motorways, autoroutes and interstates have a lot to answer for on this list. The arrival of high-speed roads in the 1960s gave rise to high-speed cars and the genesis of modern supercars.<\/p>\n<p>As is often the case with new ideas, it\u2019s small, often unlikely innovators that lead the way. So it was that West Bromwich motoring minnow Jensen created one of the first supercars and, we think, the one with the greatest name.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/list\/23\/interceptor\/\">Interceptor<\/a> was really a Jensen CV-8 in a party frock. But it was a frock swiftly styled by Touring, so it looked great. It also pioneered the \u2018fastback\u2019 GT design that would become de rigueur amongst these early supercars.<\/p>\n<p>The new car went from drawing board to prototype in three months. It would stay in production, gaining bigger MOPAR motors, for a decade. It\u2019s proof of the Interceptor\u2019s enduring appeal that in the years since, many have tried to rejuvenate this icon, including a \u2018restomod\u2019 with Corvette power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobody needs a supercar.
