The Grail List

The cars every enthusiast should know by heart. Scroll to walk the line. The full hundred is coming in the launch issue.

01
Ferrari F40

Ferrari F40

1987 / Italy

The last Ferrari signed off by Enzo himself. Twin-turbo V8, no driver aids, nothing between you and the road.

02
McLaren F1

McLaren F1

1992 / Britain

Central driving seat, a BMW V12 and a gold-lined engine bay. The fastest production car of its decade.

03
Lamborghini Miura

Lamborghini Miura

1966 / Italy

The car that invented the supercar: a V12 mounted sideways behind the driver, wrapped in Gandini's body.

04
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

1954 / Germany

Gullwing doors born of necessity, a racing spaceframe underneath, and fuel injection in a road car.

05
Jaguar E-Type

Jaguar E-Type

1961 / Britain

Long bonnet, short tail, a straight-six and a launch that stopped the Geneva show.

06
Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

1972 / Germany

The ducktail. Lightened, sharpened and homologated for racing, it is the 911 the purists measure against.

07
Ford GT40

Ford GT40

1964 / United States

Built to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, and it did, four years running from 1966.

08
Lamborghini Countach

Lamborghini Countach

1974 / Italy

Scissor doors and a wedge that defined the poster on every bedroom wall of the eighties.
