1962 FERRARI 330 TRI/LM

Current value: $6.5-8 million

The 1962 Ferrari 330 TRI/LM is one of the most amazing vintage cars from the early 1960s. Once Ferrari made inroads on the racing circuit against the other major auto brands, the company was able to start dominating the racing circuit towards the end of the decade. The Ferrari 330 TRI/LM was one of the last of the Testarossas of this generation produced, and is one of the most sought after vintage cars held by a private collector today. The car also has the distinction of being the last front-engined race car to win the coveted Le Mans with only a four-cylinder engine to power the automobile.

1969 ZL1 CAMARO

1969 ZL1 CAMARO

Current value: $425,000

The 1969 ZL1 Camaro is a truly amazing vintage car that saw a very limited production run of only 69 automobiles during its production life. The car is powered by an extremely powered aluminum V-8 engine that is rated at over 500 horsepower and only weighs in at 500 lbs. The zero to 60 second time of the ZL1 is only 5.3 seconds which put it in the top of all muscle cars of its time for speed, and was a primary reason that many of the car models found their way into the drag-racing circuit. Chevy also went to great lengths to ensure the car was legal to drive on public roadways in the United States; however, the big price for the car at the time did not make it a significant commercial success in the marketplace.

 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.
