Now we have full disclosure on this creation and frankly, there’s no other way to say it: We love…
While I’m not a huge Ferrari guy on principle, even I refuse to apologize for how much I liked the 458 Italia and now its turbocharged successor, the 488. And the new 488 Pista is the one you want because it boasts Ferrari’s most powerful V8 engine ever, rated at 711 horsepower. Now this weekend at Pebble Beach, we…

The auction house estimates it will fetch up to $550,000. Having been the world’s fastest production car upon its launch, the Porsche 959 needs no introduction. Only 337 were ever made, but this 1987 example is actually rarer since it’s the Komfort specification of which only 294 cars were built. Even though it’s more than three decades…
