1963 Iso Grifo — An exotic Giugiaro-designed, Italian body stretched out over a gutsy American Corvette chassis.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 — A DOHC V8 goes from 385 to 405 hp. Big rear flanks cover thick rear tires. It's still the only Corvette with an overhead cam engine.

1957 BMW 507 — Only 252 of these roadsters were built, and BMW may have gone broke if it had built more. The 3.2-liter V8 only made 150 hp, but this is 1950s lust.

1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage — Fortified Aston Martin V8 that powered the company's survival through the 1970s and '80s. Early versions had 375 hp, while final cars had up to 450.

2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia — The ultimate F430 with more power (508 hp) and less weight (by about 220 pounds). Other F430s were great, but this one was the greatest.

2003 Bentley Continental GT — Bentley's spectacular, all-wheel-drive coupe with a turbocharged, 6.0-liter W12 under its hood. The Supersports offers 621 hp.

2011 Ariel Atom 500 — A skeletal midget packing a high-revving, 3.0-liter V8 whooping out 500 hp. It's the minimalist hyperspace machine. Terrible around town.

2005 Porsche Carrera GT — A bold midengine roadster powered by a 5.7-liter V10 rated at 612 hp. Rewarded experts, punished poseurs.

2012 Pagani Huayra — Put a Mercedes AMG 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V12 in a dinky midengine machine and give it an unpronounceable name. That's this car.

1935 Auburn 851 Speedster — A supercharged, 150-hp, 4.6-liter Lycoming straight-8 under the most extravagant "boat tail" body ever conceived. Pure glamour.

2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren — Corporate conspiracy produces a 617-hp thoroughbred that never quite got the respect it deserved.

1999 Pagani Zonda — Totally unexpected excellence from a manufacturer that was completely unknown. Intoxicating mix of Italian midengine bodywork and Mercedes AMG power.

2010 Noble M600 — A brute cleverly disguised as a monster. An evil Yamaha-designed, Volvo-based 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 knocks out up to 650 hp.

1993 Porsche 911 GT2 — The two-wheel-drive 911 Turbo in its most radical form. The 993-based original had 450 hp. The latest 997 model goes to 523 hp.

1954 Bentley R-Type Continental — When gentlemen dream, this big coupe is the subject. It features Mulliner coachwork over a Rolls-Royce chassis. Fast? Fast enough.

1920 Hispano-Suiza H6 — Full of tech swiped from aircraft and eerily stable at speed, the six-cylinder H6 was the car despots became despots in order to own.

2004 Lamborghini Gallardo — The Gallardo finally made a small Lamborghini relevant with almost 500 horsepower, striking styling and all-wheel drive. It was good enough to make us forget the Jalpa.

1975 Ferrari 308 GTB and GTS — Almost as practical as a Porsche, the 308 was the template for every midengine Ferrari to come. The original 308 only had 235 hp.

1931 Hispano-Suiza J12 — V12 successor to the H6, the 9.4-liter V12 made 220 hp. A stroked 11.3-liter version made 250. Cloaked in amazing coachwork from various houses.

1961 Jaguar E-Type — Beautiful like no other car before it and initially powered by a 265-hp, 3.8-liter straight-6. This is the magic Jaguar has never quite recaptured.

1987 Ruf CTR Yellowbird — Ruf rebuilds the 911 into a 469-hp turbo screamer that resets the performance bar for even Porsche itself.

2012 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta — A 730-hp declaration by Ferrari that its front-engine, V12 GTs can be intimidating again. It's a 6.3-liter can of whoop-ass.

1994 Ferrari F355 — After the disappointing 348, Ferrari roars back with the F355 that uses five-valve cylinder heads on its 3.5-liter V8 to make 375 hp.

1937 Cord 812 Supercharged — The front-drive, coffin-nosed icon at its most powerful. The 4.7-liter Lycoming V8 produced about 150 hp. But only about 3,000 of the 810 and 812 models were made.

1964 Maserati Mistral — Big, bold GT with a glorious Fura body and a 3.5-liter six making 235 hp. The best Mistrals use a 4.0-liter V8 at 255 hp.

2014 Lamborghini Veneno — Hideously ugly, but every supercar styling cliché is there and ready to impress. Sort of. Underneath it's an Aventador. Which is good enough.

1957 Maserati 3500 GT — Maybe the most romantic of the big Italian coupes in the 1950s. Sophia Loren on four wheels with a 3.5-liter inline-6 at her bosom. Even better as an open Spyder.

2007 Ferrari 599 Fiorano — It's a 612-hp, 6.0-liter V12 lashed to a Tuscan villa. Destined to be underrated by people who have never driven it.

1931 Alfa Romeo 8C — A series of straight-8-powered road and race machines that were what Ferrari is now before Ferrari was around. Covered in some of the most beautiful coach-built bodies ever.

1930 Bentley 8-Litre — A massive monster built around a huge 8.0-liter straight-six. It's a road-going locomotive with wheelbases stretching up to 156 inches.

1973 Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer — Ferrari's first midengine road car (not counting the Dino). Started as the 365 GT4 BB with a 344-hp 4.4-liter flat-12 and devolved into the 512i with a 5.0-liter engine making up to 340 hp. Blame '70s emissions standards.

1964 Ferrari 500 America Superfast — Long, tapered and filled with a 5.0-liter V12 making 395 hp. It's the big Ferrari that's, well, superfast.

1967 Maserati Ghibli — A stiletto-shaped super-tourer packing 4.7 or 4.9 liters of V8 power. Styled by Giugiaro while he was at Ghia, and the best-looking Maserati of the 1960s.

2009 Aston Martin V12 Vantage — It's an old formula: big engine in the smallest car that can take it. Originally 510 hp, up to 565 in the Vantage S.

1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello and 575M Maranello — A big GT with a 485-hp 5.5-liter V12 heart. Succeeded by the 575M with a 5.7-liter V12 making 508 hp.

2011 Koenigsegg Agera — Two turbos on a 5.0-liter V8 mean 927 hp in the Agera, 1,016 horses in the Agera S and 1,124 hp in the Agera R. Blistering in every way.

2004 Maserati MC12 — A Ferrari Enzo in Maserati drag. Which is no bad thing. It's longer and wider than the Enzo, but the 6.0-liter V12 with 620 hp is there.

1967 De Tomaso Mangusta — Argue with its pedigree — it used Ford small-block V8s — and deride its engineering, but the Mangusta is utterly gorgeous.

1971 De Tomaso Pantera — There's a lot of Ford in the Pantera, but its primal appeal is undeniable. The Ford 5.8-liter Cleveland V8 aboard made 330 hp.

1992 Jaguar XJ220 — Collaborating with Tom Walkinshaw Racing, Jag produces a stunner powered by a 540-hp, 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6.

1999 BMW Z8 — All-aluminum roadster styled after the 507 and packing the 400-hp, M-built, 5.0-liter V8 from the E39-series M5. It's beautiful in every way.

2010 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series — Take the SL65, drop about 550 pounds of weight out of it, thump the twin-turbo V12 up to 661 hp, add big flares and...evil!

1910 Mercer 35R Raceabout — Bare-bones and built for speed, the American-made Raceabout was capable of over 90 mph and cruising at 70. The 4.8-liter four made around 55 hp.

2008 Audi R8 — A midengine, all-wheel-drive car that's as easy to live with every day as a Porsche 911. The V10-powered cars are awesome, but the V8s are easier to love.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG — Modern interpretation of the 300SL with those doors and, better, the AMG 6.2-liter V8 rated up to 583 hp. An electric version is coming.

1995 Ferrari F50 — Just 349 of these were made, each around an advanced carbon-fiber tub. The 4.7-liter V12 was derived from the 333SP racer and produced 513 hp.

1990 Lamborghini Diablo — Somewhat tame successor to the Countach, but still blindingly fast with up to 595 hp from the SE30 Jota model's 5.7-liter V12.

2001 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish — After the svelte DB7, the big-shouldered Vanquish appears a muscular beast with a 6.0-liter, 450-hp V12. Yeah, James Bond had one.

1976 Lotus Esprit — When it entered production it had a 160-hp four. When it left production 28 years later, it was powered by a twin-turbo V8 making 350 hp.

1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) — All-wheel drive, twin-turbocharged 2.6-liter six, enough computing power to run Denmark, and the ability to be tuned beyond 1,000 hp.

1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) — The evolution of the GT-R continues. The best of the R33s was the Nismo 400R.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) — The final version of the classic, RB26DETT-powered GT-Rs. A car worth risking prison to import — which some did.

2010 Aston Martin Vanquish — The second Vanquish arrives bristling with 565 hp from its 6.0-liter V12. It's a beast in a silk suit.

1984 Ferrari Testarossa and 512 TR and F512 M — Massive monster with a mid-mounted 4.9-liter flat-12 making 390 hp. Output grew to 428 horses in the 512 TR and 440 in the F512 M.

1967 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale — A 2.0-liter V8 under Scaglione's masterpiece body. The midengine car as curvaceous object of desire and passion.

2006 Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina — A glorious one-off by the legendary coachworks atop the bones of a Ferrari Enzo. It is unabashedly and spectacularly retro.

1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Roadster — It's a car that drapes down around its driver. The supercharger on the 5.4-liter straight-8 pushed output to 180 hp.

1963 Aston Martin DB5 — If James Bond hadn't driven one, it might be forgotten. But he did. A perfectly proportioned coupe with a 4.0-liter six underhood.

1967 Toyota 2000GT — Proof the Japanese could build great cars. Jewellike body swoops over a 2.0-liter, 150-hp six from Yamaha. Only 337 were built.

1927 Bentley 4-1/2 Litre "Blower Bentley" — Supercharged, indomitable and built to race at Le Mans. Only 55 made, with roots blowers on the 4.5-liter fours making 130 hp.

1959 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB — Pure sex on a 94.5-inch wheelbase. Up to 276 hp from its 3.0-liter V12, it was the world GT constructor's champion in 1961.

1957 Jaguar XKSS — The road-going version of the D-Type racing car. How cool? Steve McQueen owned one. Only 16 were made, all powered by the Jag inline-6.

2010 Aston Martin One-77 — Still tailored, but heavily muscled. It's Aston's nastiest monster: 750 hp under a taut skin. Just 77 were made.

2007 Nissan GT-R (R35) — It was a legend even before the first one was built. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 started at 485 hp and now it's at 545.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa — Sculpted like sin itself and fast enough to win Le Mans three times. Want one? Well, $10 million won't be enough.

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 — A supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes — gack! — 638 hp. The most powerful Corvette ever and yet it's a pussycat in everyday driving.

1984 Ferrari 288 GTO — Built for Group B racing, but never raced. A 308 amplified with a new tail and a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V8. It led directly to the F40.

1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 — Four cams and six carburetors elevate the 275 from merely awesome to brilliance. The 3.3-liter V12 was rated at 300 hp. Other changes to the structure improved handling.

2011 Lamborghini Aventador — The big Lambo reinvented for the 21st century around an all-new 6.5-liter V12 making 690 hp and all-wheel drive. Looks astonishing, too.

2011 Lexus LFA — Toyota aims to build the world's best car and maybe succeeds. Every high-tech trick known to Japan with a 4.8-liter V10 that screams out 552 hp. Possibly the world's best engine note.

1992 Dodge SRT Viper — Still outrageous, the latest incarnation of the Viper has 640 hp from its 8.4-liter V10. It's the most radical production car ever built in the city of Detroit.

1908 Rolls-Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost — The world gasped at its quality and beauty. It was the best car in the world, and Rolls-Royce's reputation has been that ever since.

1912 Stutz Bearcat — When American cars were ox carts, the Bearcat was an adventure. Basically it was Stutz's Indy racer with road gear and a 5.8-liter, 16-valve four.

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia — The 562-hp, 4.5-liter V8 that has recast the small Ferrari as the best Ferrari. Nimble, blindingly quick and mesmerizing.

1990 Acura NSX — The all-aluminum midengine car that forced every other manufacturer to build better supercars. Never the quickest, it was nonetheless among the best.

1966 Shelby Cobra 427 — Everything to excess except comfort and weather protection. It's a 425-hp stud so awesome that there are more replicas than real ones now.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C — The second greatest constructor in racing builds a carbon-fiber stunner powered by a twin-turbo, 3.8-liter V8 making 592 hp.

2014 Ferrari LaFerrari — A 789-hp, 6.3-liter V12 augmented by a KERS system and everything Ferrari has ever learned. All in a stunning car with a stupid name.

1932 Duesenberg SJ — The ultimate prewar American car: huge, supercharged, powerful and devastatingly beautiful no matter what body was atop it. The Mormon Meteor version topped 135 mph.

2002 Ferrari Enzo — Carbon-fiber wonder car filled with Formula 1 technology. 6.0-liter V12 rated at 651 hp. Ferrari's next leap beyond the F40.

1964 Ford GT40 — Four-time Le Mans winner. Isn't that enough?

1962 Ferrari GTO — Only 39 of these V12 GTs were made, but it won three world championships. Billionaire Craig McCaw paid $35 million for the pale green one last year.

1986 Porsche 959 — The car of tomorrow that actually got tomorrow right. Advanced in every way, from the materials in its body to the all-wheel-drive system and twin-turbo flat-6.

1987 Ferrari F40 — Tube frame monster around a 308's cockpit, but equipped with a twin-turbo, 471-hp V8. It's exhilarating even if you only look at it.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL — Forget the doors and look at the big direct-injection six, the intricate chassis and the perfect body. It's the defining supercar of the 1950s.

1969 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona — A sharp break from the older, voluptuous V12 Ferraris. It's pornographically provocative with its 352-hp, 4.4-liter V12.

2005 Bugatti Veyron — Four turbos on an 8.0-liter W16 and it's the first car with a four-digit power rating and million-dollar price tag. So overwhelmingly ambitious and insanely equipped, it is the ultimate supercar to which all others must be compared.
