by John | May 17, 2013

Launched in 1989, the second-generation of Toyota’s popular mid-engine, real-wheel-drive two-seater immediately drew styling comparisons with the Ferrari 348. While it didn’t pack the power of its thoroughbred rival, it was certainly fun to drive and adequately fulfilled the Japanese marque’s goal of producing a small, lightweight, economical, and above all, affordable sports car.

by John | April 26, 2013

The Ford GT40 was created with two clear goals: to propel Ford Motor Company into Le Mans history and blow Ferrari back to the Stone Age! And this exotic, low-slung (the “40” in its name refers to its height in inches) street fighter carried out these not-insignificant tasks to perfection, conquering the 24 Hours of Le Mans—and putting the prancing horse firmly in its place—four years in a row.
