What you see here is a Ferrari F40...if Pininfarina had let designers Leonardo Fioravanti and Pietro Camardella take acid during the sketching process. Thankfully, that's not what happened back in the early '80s (other stuff may have been involved, sure) and the real Ferrari F40 is a masterpiece. The car you see above is not a Ferrari. It's a Nissan Sentra that murdered a plastic factory and fashioned the remains into this F40 skin suit. This truly awful machine is listed for sale on Craigslist (via Carscoops) and is currently located in El Paso, Texas. It has Mexican plates, and the 1990...

Back in the late 1990s, the McLaren F1 arrived to set the world on fire. It blasted well past the 200-mph mark into unknown territory when it set a production car top-speed record.

This documentary was part of the "The Car's the Star" video series of 1999. It provides tremendous insight into the development of one of the world's greatest road cars. It includes interviews with Gordon Murray, Ron Dennis, and others who were involved in the...
