2. Jaguar E-type
   Chevy Malibu

The Jaguar E-Type was one of the coolest cars of its era and was called "the most beautiful car ever made" by Enzo Ferrari, the man who made many of the other most beautiful cars you've ever seen. It managed to impress the likes of Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, who both owned one.

1. Bugatti Type 57
   Ferrari F40
2. Mazda Miata
   Lamborghini Miura

Weird as it sounds, Ferruccio Lamborghini did not sign off on the Miura, so his team made it in their spare time. Lamborghini himself wanted some slower-paced cars, unlike the racing beasts made by Ferrari. His production team showed him the value of their design, and the Miura was produced for seven years.

1. Porsche 911
   Toyota Supra 2000
2. Ferrari Testarossa
   BMW M3

Porsche's 911 has barely changed the way it looks since 1963. Over 1 million of these cars have been produced in that time. The company had no intention of calling it the 911 at first, but Peugeot had cornered the market on the number "0" as a middle digit, so the 901 became the 911, and the rest is history.

1. Ford GT40
   Chevy Corvette Stingray
2. Dodge Viper
   Lamborghini Countach

1. Beetle
   Gremlin
2. Mini
   Pinto

The Mini may be one of the recognizable cars ever and is symbolic of the '60s as a whole.

1. Porsche 356 Speedster
   Ferrari Daytona
2. Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic
   Chrysler Airflow

Both rare and beautiful, the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is one of the most expensive cars in history, mostly because of its rarity.

1. Ford Model T
   Chevy Series C Classic 6
2. Chrysler Airflow
   Bentley Blower

1. McLaren F1
   Ferrari Testarossa
2. DeLorean DMC-12
   Tesla Model S

The DeLorean DMC-12 was produced for only three years, and only around 9,000 of them were made. With such a limited production run, it might not have been nearly as popular as it was if not for the "Back to the Future" movie. The film made the car world famous when it featured it as a time machine.

1. Toyota Prius
   AMC Pacer
2. Ford Pinto
   VW Beetle

1. Plymouth Road Runner
   Pontiac GTO
2. Ford Mustang
   Chevy Camaro

The McLaren F1 was a monstrously fast and well-produced sports car that was unlike anything ever made before it To achieve a low weight that would allow more power and performance, many lightweight — but valuable — materials were used in the construction, including carbon fiber and Kevlar fans. It also has some gold foil heat reflectors and magnesium castings in there!

   Triumph TR2
2. Jaguar C-Type
   Afla Romeo Disco Volante

Ferdinand Porsche himself, the man who started the Porsche company, brought the 356 Speedster into production. It sported a flat-4 engine, which meant it was the speedy performance beast you might think of when you think of Porsche, but it also looked great.

1. Ford Mustang
   Chevy Camaro
2. Dodge Viper
   Pontiac GTO

Because the Dodge Viper was first envisioned as a performance car and not a production vehicle, some of the amenities you expect on a car were left off, like key cylinders and door handles. It also didn't have windows. Instead, it had vinyl flaps that could be zipped on and off when it was raining.

1. Plymouth Road Runner
   Chevy Malibu
2. Chevy Camaro

1. Toyota Corolla
   Nissan Altima
2. Ford Tempo

The Honda Civic has always been good on gas, and the gas crisis of the early '70s that spurred changes to fuel efficiency standards and effectively killed the muscle car segment was a boon for this Japanese import. Nearly 20 million Civics have since been sold.

1. Ford Focus
   Tesla Model 3
2. Nissan Leaf
   Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius was a landmark in auto manufacturing by finally giving a powerful alternative to the straight gasoline engines that dominated the market for more than a century. The 2018 Prius was the second most fuel-efficient gas-powered car in the U.S. that didn't have plug-in capability.

2. Lincoln K-Series
   Packard 12

It caused a bit of a panic more than anything else.

   Stutz Bearcat
2. Ruxton Roadster
   Auburn Bobtail Speedster

The Bentley Blower was a monster of engineering in the 1920s. For a car that weighed over 3,500 pounds, 137 miles per hour was an impressive speed to hit, especially for the time. It's not surprising that his car made a great showing at Le Mans, coming in first in 1928.
