  • Mazzanti Evantra 771

    The Mazzanti Evantra is a mid-engine supercar from Italy, which in Millecavalli form has the honor of being the most powerful production car to come out of the country that illustrious brands Ferrari [NYSE:RACE], Lamborghini and Pagani also call home. With 1,000 horsepower on tap, the Evantra Millecavalli is not for the faint-hearted. However, Mazzanti’s standard Evantra, still with a generous 751-hp rating, is certainly no slouch. Nevertheless, Mazzanti has developed a package to boost the standard car's performance. The package is called the 771, and as the name suggests there’s...

  • Ferrari Enzo owned by Tommy Hilfiger

    Once in awhile, a rare car comes up for sale and we remark on the rarity and the cost.

Mr. Hilfiger must've preferred other modes of transportation because this example shows just 3,622 miles on its odometer. By now you know the facts and figures of this car, but it certainly bears repeating. Ferrari crafted just 399 examples (plus one extra for the...

  • 2017 Audi R8 vs. 2017 Acura NSX

    Supercars give automakers a chance to show off the fullest extents of their design and engineering capabilities.
