The Sole Pinin Farina 166MM
Pininfarina are among Italy’s most renowned coach builders, in large part thanks to their decades-long collaboration with Ferrari. However, when it came to the Ferrari 166 MM, the famed carrozzeria — then still called “Pinin Farina” — was tasked with crafting the body for one sole car, which you see here. The last of the second-series 166MMs made, this Ferrari boasted a more rev-happy, 160 horsepower Colombo V12 and a startling top speed of 137 mph. Totally restored by DK Engineering and retaining its original engine, suspension and body, this stunning two-tone 166MM deserves a spot in your stable.
Our Kind of Club
Any Porsche addict knows that Stuttgart reserves the GT2 RS moniker for the most special, run-out variant of any given 911 generation, and the 991.2-generation 911 GT2 RS was no exception. However, there was an even more ballistic variant produced in an even more limited run of just 200 units: the GT2 RS Clubsport. Designed as a turnkey track-only monster, the Clubsport variant was freed of road homologation restraints. Powered by the same 700 horsepower twin-turbo 3.8-litre flat-six as the road-going version, the Clubsport was even faster thanks to almost 100 kilograms in weight saving. This stunning example has covered a mere 580 km after just two track days and is accompanied by 17,500 euros worth of spares, meaning it’s ready for as many laps as you can handle behind the wheel.
Black-Hearted Monster
The Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series was a legend the second it hit the road. Powered by AMG’s 507 horsepower M156 engine, a hand-built, 6.2-litre monster of V8, the CLK Black Series evolved from the successful Formula 1 safety car of the era to become a true road-legal racing car. Favoured by a certain TV presenter-turned-farmer, it could dispatch the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 4.3 seconds before topping out at an electronically-limited 186 mph. Wider and more aggressive than just about any Merc of the era, this 2002 example will be nearly impossible to beat with its shockingly low mileage of just 850 km.
Flightless Fighter Jet
Bridging the gap between the Murciélago and Aventador, the Reventón roadster looked like a roofless Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk on wheels, only a lot less stealthy thanks to its screaming 6.45-liter V12 borrowed from the Murciélago SV. Just 15 examples were built, making it one of the rarest cars ever to wear a Lamborghini badge. 17 years after it was unveiled at the 2008 Frankfurt Motor Show, this pristine 2,423 km example still looks as dramatic as ever in its Grigio Reventón paintwork.
Green Means Go!
If you’ve never considered adding an Alfa Romeo 1900 to your collection, this 1956 stunner could well be the car to win you over. One of just 600 examples of 1900 C Super Sprints ever built, of which only around 200 survivors exist to this day, this Alfa boasts lightweight aluminium bodywork courtesy of Touring Superleggera that helped it earn a reputation as “the family car that wins races.” However, beyond its competitive prowess, this Alfa truly caught our eye for its stunning specification of black over a gorgeous green mixed leather and fabric interior. If you want your weekend backroad blasts to feel like your on the Mille Miglia, look no further.
