The 288 GTO was the bridge between the past and future of Ferrari styling. 🇮🇹 Ferrari 288 GTO

Oh you like rare cars ? Here is a black NSX.

On their wedding day, a couple took a photo with a Honda NSX that didn’t belong to them. Three decades later, still together, they recreated the same shot, this time with an NSX they can call their own.

Extreme in every ways... Is the CLK GTR the most crazy Mercedes ever built?

The Alfa Romeo 164 ProCar was one of the most unusual racing experiments of the late 1980s. Although it looked like a modified version of the road-going Alfa Romeo 164 sedan, the car was actually a full racing prototype built for a proposed ProCar championship that aimed to combine production car silhouettes with Formula 1-level technology. Beneath the body sat a carbon-composite monocoque chassis developed with input from Brabham and Dallara, along with push-rod suspension and other hardware normally found in single-seaters. Power came from Alfa Romeo’s 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V10 known as the Tipo 1035, an engine originally created for the brand’s Formula 1 program. Mounted in a mid-engine layout behind the driver, it produced around 600 horsepower and revved past 12,000 rpm while pushing a car that weighed roughly 750 kg. The ProCar series never materialized, leaving the project as a rare prototype that briefly appeared during the 1988 Italian Grand Prix weekend at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, where it was demonstrated by Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese.

The Sauber C11 was a dominant Group C endurance racer built by Sauber Motorsport with factory support from Mercedes-Benz. Introduced for the 1990 season of the World Sportscar Championship, it used a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter Mercedes M119 V8 producing around 700 horsepower in race trim. The carbon-fiber prototype was extremely efficient aerodynamically and brutally fast on long straights, helping Sauber-Mercedes win the 1990 teams’ championship while drivers Jean-Louis Schlesser and Mauro Baldi secured the drivers’ title. It remains one of the most successful and recognizable late-era Group C machines, bridging the gap before Mercedes moved fully into Formula One in the early 1990s.

The Volkswagen W12 Nardo was the final evolution of Volkswagen’s late-1990s W12 supercar concept series, following the W12 Syncro and W12 Roadster. Unveiled at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, it was powered by a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated W12 producing 591 horsepower and 458 lb-ft of torque. The car used a lightweight mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with active aerodynamics, allowing a 0–60 mph time of around 3.5 seconds and a top speed of roughly 217 mph. The name comes from the Nardò Ring test track in Italy, where the car set multiple 24-hour endurance records, averaging more than 200 mph over nearly 4,800 miles. Although it never reached production, the W12 Nardo played an important role in developing the Volkswagen Group’s W-engine technology later used in Bentley and Bugatti models.

Probably the greatest cockpit of all time: BMW E34 Alpina B10 🛸 To build the B10 Bi-Turbo, Alpina dismantled a BMW M30 engine, replaced the stock pistons with forged units, installed two Garrett T25 water-cooled turbochargers, and added a Bosch variable boost control with a range of 0.4-0.8 bar, adjustable from the driver’s seat. Additional modifications helped raise the horsepower of the standard M30 engine from 211 HP to a staggering 360 HP. Alpina stated a 0-100 kph (62 mph) acceleration time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of over 290 kph (180 mph)

There are drivers who win championships. And then there is Ayrton Senna. He didn’t merely compete in Formula 1 — he reshaped its emotional intensity. Each qualifying lap felt deliberate. Every race start carried tension. For him, driving wasn’t spectacle; it was the relentless pursuit of precision. In the rain — when machinery becomes vulnerable and true ability is exposed — Senna separated himself from the field. Estoril. Monaco. Suzuka. As conditions worsened, his focus sharpened. What looked like chaos to others became clarity to him. It was control at its finest margin. Three World Championships. 41 Grand Prix victories. 65 pole positions — many of them laps that expanded the limits of what seemed possible. But numbers only tell part of the story. What made Senna enduring was the visible intent behind the wheel. You could feel the calculation, the commitment, the refusal to accept boundaries set by circumstance or competition. He combined technical brilliance, deep conviction, and an uncompromising competitive drive. To those who understand motorsport history, Senna represents more than a dominant period. He symbolizes a time before the sport became fully industrialized — when a driver’s hands, instinct, and nerve were unmistakably decisive. Some legacies are remembered. His is studied.

In Tomorrow Never Dies, James Bond drives a long-wheelbase BMW 750iL from the E38 generation. The production used several cars, including specially modified versions for stunt work in the multi-story parking-garage chase, where Bond remotely controls the vehicle from the rear seat using a mobile phone. The standard road-going model, built by BMW, was powered by a 5.4-liter V12 and served as the flagship of the 7 Series lineup at the time.

Mr Bean’s McLaren F1. He owned the car for 17 years and drove about 40,000 miles (65,000 km), even using it for everyday tasks like grocery shopping and school runs. Despite crashing the F1 twice—and once receiving what became the highest car-insurance payout in UK history—he ultimately sold it for $12 million.

During the early development of the W140 S-Class, engineers at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart explored an ambitious concept: an 8.0-liter W18 engine internally designated the M216. The design used three banks of six cylinders arranged in a compact W configuration and was projected to deliver roughly 490 hp and 750 Nm, with even more powerful multi-valve variants considered on paper. The idea never progressed beyond the prototype stage, as the existing 6.0-liter V12 already provided the refinement and performance expected of the flagship—without the added complexity. Ultimately, the largest engine to reach production in the W140 came via Mercedes-AMG, in the form of the 7.3-liter V12 M297.

The “Buried Dino” was a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS that was stolen in Los Angeles in late 1974 and unexpectedly rediscovered four years later. In 1978, two boys digging in their backyard struck metal about three feet below the surface, prompting authorities to excavate the site. Deputies uncovered the car wrapped in tarps and carpet, still largely intact. The dry Southern California soil had helped limit corrosion during its time underground. Because the theft claim had already been paid out, the insurance company assumed ownership after recovery and later sold the vehicle at auction. Investigators ultimately determined the disappearance was part of an insurance fraud scheme, with the car intentionally hidden rather than dismantled. After restoration, the Dino returned to private ownership, becoming one of the strangest stories associated with Ferrari.

A $17,000 book chronicling the history and racing achievements of Ferrari is presented in a striking case modeled after an aluminum V12 engine. The sculptural enclosure was designed by Marc Newson, turning the publication into both a collector’s item and a piece of automotive-inspired design.

The Alfa Romeo TZ2 was a mid-1960s racing car developed as a more aerodynamic evolution of the original TZ. Introduced in 1965, it featured a lower, smoother fiberglass body designed by Zagato to reduce drag and improve high-speed stability over its predecessor. The car employed a lightweight tubular spaceframe and Alfa Romeo’s 1.6-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine with twin Weber carburetors, delivering strong performance while keeping weight to just 620 kg. The TZ2 competed extensively in international GT racing, earning class victories at events such as the Monza, Sebring, and the Targa Florio. Produced in very limited numbers—generally accepted to be only 12 examples—it was conceived strictly as a competition machine rather than a road car.
