Peter Stevens designed this amazing supercar for Jaguar in 1990 in only 50 exemplars by a price that can make us wonder if it`s realy worth it: 960,165 $.
With a V12 engine of 5,993cc, and has a 6-speed manual transmission and a chassis and bodywork composed of carbon fiber and Kevlar, the XJR-15 has a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 185 mph.

A roadster conceived by the English manufacturer Lotus Cars with a finished fiberglass body shell atop, this super car got the name of the Lotus chairman`s daughter, Elisa. If until this prototype, the goal of all car manufacturers was to build a sport car that can touch a high level of performance but as well to be very economic and light was almost impossible, with the new Lotus Elisa those goals were fulfilled.

The acceleration, braking, cornering, and fuel consumption is nothing but astonishing, even more if we talk about the engine that put out a relatively modest 120 bhp (89 kW) compared to 201 bhp (149 kW) produced by Porsche Boxster.

The second series of Lotus Elise is claimed to be the best version yet because of it`s all-aluminum 189 hp (141 kW) Yamaha-designed, Toyota-produced 2ZZ-GE engine, Toyota gearbox the car gave the best results.The car’s max speed is 202 km/h and it’s engine engages 118 bhp at 5500 rpm.It`s priced at 30000$.

Chevrolet muscle cars were at the center of the classic period of American large cubic inch high performance engines.  The fundamental theme of the muscle car was maximum performance for minimal amount of money. This design played to Chevrolet’s strength as a premium producer of attractive and affordable muscle cars for sale.

Chevrolet produced the most extensive and most admired lineup of muscle cars of any manufacturer throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.  Chevrolet had credibility as a performance-car builder due to its small-block V-8 introduced in 1955. This V8 was a favorite of racers and hot rodders, and its role in the success of the Chevrolet Corvette swayed any remaining doubters that Chevrolet knew how to build fast cars.

It was the well-known 409-cid V-8 that did as much for Chevrolet’s muscle car representation. Introduced in 1961, it’s most fascinating home was the new lmpala Super Sport, which could be ordered with a 360 horsepower 409. A dual four-barrel carburetor choice for 1962 brought 1 horsepower per cubic inch to this powerful V8, and soon after the 409’s produced up to 425 horsepower.

Chevrolet’s offering in the midway lines was the Chevelle, and its Super Sport adaptation became one of the most-popular muscle cars of all time. The Chevelle SS was originally available with 283- and 327-cid small-block V-8s with up to 300 bhp. In 1965, a 375-bhp 396-cid big-block was installed in just over 200 Chevelles, and the muscle car race was on.

The Chevelle SS 396 became a separate model in 1966, and more than 72,000 were sold that year. The Chevelle SS power peaked for 1970 with the 450-bhp LS6 version of the 454-cid V-8. The LS6 SS 454 Chevelles were among the quickest and fastest muscle cars ever built and quickly became a great car for drag racing.

Chevrolet also used its muscle car formula in the compact-car lines with the Nova SS. The 1966 327-cid 350 horsepower Nova SS and the 396-cid big-block edition introduced for 1968 could hold their own with effectively any muscle car on the road.

The Ferrari FXX was first produced in 2005. Ferrari used Enzo technology, while using the Berlinetta body in the manufacturing of the FXX.

Consistency is key when using technology, and it has been applied in their cars, this is a reason Ferrari continues to be a leader in the field of formula auto racing.

Specifications

The powerful FXX provides breathtaking performance in every aspect. It has not been approved for road use, disqualifying it from any form of racing. The advent of the FXX is purely for R&D, research and development.

It is powered by a 6.3L, V12 engine, capable of producing 800 HP @ 8500 RPM. The aerodynamic design is unique in that it produces 40% higher downforce, which has been rarely achieved.

Between 2005 and 2007, only 30 of the FXX have been produced and only sold to previous Ferrari customers. The list includes the like of racing legend Michael Schumacher. Because it has been classified as being not street legal, owners have the option of storing the car at Ferrari facilities, which enables them to drive it on racetracks when they an urge to do just that.

The Ferrari FXX had once been considered the most expensive car at $1.6 million.
