1956 FERRARI 860 MONZA













 1956 FERRARI 860 MONZA

Current value: $2.5 million
The 1956 Ferrari 860 Monza is one of the most amazing vintage cars on the road today. During the heyday of the 1950’s racing scene, the Ferrari brand had yet to make a name for itself going against the ‘Big Three’ of car manufacturers at the time to include Jaguar, Maserati, and Aston Martin. The 860 Monza was Ferraris response, and it is powered by the strongest four-cylinder engine to ever be made by the now famous car company. The 3.4 liter engine is rated at 280 horsepower which combined with the larger wheelbase debuted by Ferrari for the 860 Monza gave the car the reliability it needed to win on the track. The company would only go on to produce three models of the 0604M variant, and it is also one of the most valuable vintage cars on the market today as well.

TESLA MODEL S
















TESLA MODEL S

Tesla Model S is an electric, full-sized, five-door, luxury car, very popular all over, especially in Norway and California, since its June 2012 debut. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded it a perfect 5.0 overall safety rating. The Environmental Protection Agency has documented the Model S official range under battery power at 265 miles, tops in the electric car market.
The Model S has a three-phase, alternating current induction, 416-horsepower rear-mounted electric motor powering a single-speed fixed-gear transmission. A planned extended-range Model S version included a complementary gas internal combustion engine, but later revisions dropped this component, and the Model S became an electric-only car.
Model S top speed is 125 mph, and acceleration time from 0 to 60 mph is 5.4 seconds, remarkable performance for a 4,650-pound car. Tesla expects Model S sales to exceed 50,000 in 2015.



SALEEN S7















SALEEN S7

Saleen S7 is a handmade, high-performance, limited-production vehicle. It is the only car Saleen ever produced from a new chassis. The original aluminum 427 (cubic inches) engine, a bored-out derivative of Ford’s 351 (same) with a longer stroke, is remarkably flexible for a unit that puts out 550 horsepower. In 2005, Saleen gave the S7 a more powerful twin-turbo engine of 750 horsepower, capable of the top speed of 248 mph and with 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 2.8 seconds.
The S7 body is entirely made of carbon fiber with aerodynamic scoops and spoilers for split airflow. At 160 mph, the car creates its own weight in downforce.



ROSSION Q1
















ROSSION Q1

This supercar accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.2 seconds, thanks to its six-cylinder, 3,000-cc, 450-horsepower, twin-turbo engine, six-speed manual transmission, and a weight just slightly over than that of Mosler MT900s.
This two-seat coupe from 1g Racing/Rossion Automotive derives its design from the Noble M400. Rossion founders bought the rights to the M400 in February 2007 intending to design a completely new car combining the sporty attributes of the M400 with luxurious touches and trim.



MOSLER MT900S

















MOSLER MT900S

Weighing just 2,275 pounds and equipped with an eight-cylinder, 7,000-cc, 600-horsepower General Motors LS7 engine mounted behind the driver and a six-speed manual transmission, Mosler MT900s is powerful and fun to drive. Mosler Automotive claims that the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. At the low engine speed of 1,000 revolutions per minute in first gear, this car goes 40 mph. So far, they have made only 20 of these cars.
