Classic: Toyota 2000GT
Known primarily as a manufacturer of robust cars designed for the masses, Toyota raised eyebrows in 1963 when it captured first place in all three categories of the first-ever Japanese Grand Prix. The company started thinking about developing a sports car after it watched sales skyrocket in the aftermath of its heavily-publicized victories.
Classic: Lancia Stratos
Widely considered one of the most successful rally cars of all time, the Lancia Stratos HF traces its roots back to the Stratos Zero concept that Bertone revealed at the 1970 edition of the Turin Motor Show.
Classic: Maserati Tipo 61 “Birdcage”
Maserati put an end to its successful factory-sponsored racing program in 1957 because it found itself in dire financial straits after enduring a challenging decade. Racing boosted the company’s image worldwide, but it also drained precious resources that management believed could be better allocated to developing profitable road-going models.
Gallery: 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I by Pinin Farina
The Pinin Farina-bodied cabriolet that Ferrari introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1957 was not only heralded as a triumph in design for its elegant rear haunches, covered headlamps, and long, shapely hood, but it was also the car that marked a new chapter in Maranello history as the company’s first series-produced open-top model.
Gallery: 1994 Citroën ZX Rallye-Raid
The 1990s were marked by Citroën’s success in cross-country rallying, winning five consecutive constructors’ titles in the World Cup. After a promising start in 1990 (1st and 2nd place in the Baja Aragon with Vatanen and Ickx), the ZX rallye-raid prototypes established their credentials by chalking up several victories in 1991 and 1992. However, it was in 1993 that the marque established itself at the top of the championship, not relinquishing the title until after 1997.
Gallery: 1950 Aston Martin DB2
David Brown’s vision for a new Aston Martin truly came to life at the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans with the debut of the DB2. It was far sportier in appearance than the first car of the Brown era, and more importantly, it featured W.O. Bentley’s 2.6-litre, twin-cam engine, which Aston had acquired with Brown’s purchase of Lagonda.

Polish Designer Updates Bugatti Type 57 Atalante
While the Type 57 Atlantic gets all the press (they’ve gone for between $30 and $40 million at auction), the Atalante, a coupe that followed the Atlantic but used a single-piece windshield and lacked a roof fin, are nearly as rare (only 17 were produced). Now, an intrepid Polish designer, Pawel Czyzewski, has penned an update to the Type 57 Atalante. And it is stunning.
The Hot List: Volume 40
Every week we sift through a truly amazing amount of “stuff” in the dozen or so hours we spend online—you know, the time spent not driving sweet cars. A lot of the cool stuff we find has to do specifically with new cars, naturally, but there’s also a huge amount of awesomeness that doesn’t completely fit in the normal Winding Road world. Once, we were in the habit of simply reading, watching, or talking amongst ourselves about this web detritus, but recently we thought it might be a good idea to start sharing it with you all. Thus, The Hot List.
Brand New Classic: 1992 Ferrari 348 TB
That’s why we think it’s great that a new range of Ferraris are becoming classics. In particular, we have this ultra-clean 1992 348 TB. According to Ferrari nomenclature, the 348 badging represents a 3.4-liter, V-8 engine, while the TB means this is a hardtopped Berlinetta.

Flip This Car: 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible—Part Four
So, at this point I’m supposed to regale all the faithful Flip This Car readers with an unlikely and slightly wacky auto adventure. For part four of the last series I entered my Buick Roadmaster in an SCCA Rallycross event, and to keep the fish-out-of-water spirit alive I turned to the Michigan Ice Racing Association (MIRA) for some winter time fun with the Mustang. With everyone telling me how dead I’d be trying to drive this car through the ice and snow, what better way to give everyone the raspberries than to race the 5.0 on a frozen lake? The stakes would be much higher this time, however, for while the rallycross was a solo event racing against the clock, I’d be racing side-by-side with other cars at the MIRA event. And none of us would have the benefit of studded tires.
