This, the most beautifully elegant sports racing Alfa Romeo, raced in an era featuring competition against the Porsche 906, a developed 911 flat-6 cylinder engine, Lotus 47 and the Ferrari 206 Dino. None of the cars in this class received the same level of factory development and support as seen from Autodelta. Also, none of the competition featured a V8 engine, the T33/2 really was the most exotic, prettiest and developed car competing in its class. Courtesy: Girardo & Co.

Pure American muscle. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette was given the Greenwood racing treatment in the 1970s, and was driven by Rick Manusco and Burt Greenwood in 1975. The following year, Art Siri acquired it, and raced in the 1979 SCAA. Here it remained until 1988, undergoing two body transformations along the way. In the mid-2000s, things came full circle for this Corvette, as it was returned to its Greenwood body aesthetic. It’s most recent refurb came 5 just five years ago. The Paolo Engine Service built 454ci V8 creates the fierce power, which is coupled with a modified Tex Racing four-speed manual transmission.

In 1969, Ferrari announced its return to the endurance circuit in style. The 312 P prototype might be the most beautiful race car of all time, and we don’t say that lightly! This particular model, serial number 0872, was fitted with a Berlinetta body from new. For the 1969 season, a less speedy version took its body from the Spyder configuration. After failing to finish at Le Mans in 1969 and 1970, it came in 4th in the 1970 Daytona 24hr, and then 6th in the Sebring 12hr in March the same year. Luigi Chinetti would go on to buy both Berlinettas, adding them to his N.A.R.T racing team. Photography: Aimery Dutheil http://ow.ly/Jdwg50zia0J

A grand tourer produced by Maserati between 1974 and 1982, the Maserati Khamsin takes its name from the Khamsin wind -- a hot, violent gust that blows in the Egyptian desert for fifty days a year. Designed by Marcello Gandini, it was Bertone's first work for Maserati. Courtesy of O'KANE LAVERS Ltd. Read more http://ow.ly/mnps50zi3Sm

Built on the basis of the Beta Montecarlo, the Lancia 037 aimed to fulfil the legacy of the Stratos and the 131 Abarth. It accomplished this perfectly in1983 when it won the World Rally Championship Constructor’s Title. To this day, it remains the last two wheel drive car to do this. Its technical blueprint included a centrally mounted engine and rear wheel drive, a layout that would later be surpassed by the all-wheel drive design of the Delta S4.

As a result of the success of their A6 series, Maserati decided to up the stakes by producing a vehicle to compete directly against the most current Sports Racing Ferraris. Using their 250F Grand Prix car as a starting point, a new 3.5-liter, 240-260bhp, twin-cam six was developed. An extremely clever, compact, rear-mounted transaxle was utilized, as was a deDion rear axle assembly which dramatically reduced un-sprung weight on the rear wheels. Brakes were also developed from the 250F and as such were a marvel of ingenuity. They also sat far inboard from the wheels which greatly aided in their cooling.
