A 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra race car is headed for auction, and this one was driven in anger by no less than three Formula 1 drivers. Shelby only built 56 Competition Cobras, and only 23 of these remain as most of the other cars were converted into a road-going model known as the S/C.

Mercedes-Benz's GLS-Class is about to come in for a mid-cycle update, and we've just spotted a prototype. It's still early days but we expect there to be new styling inside and out, and possibly plug-in hybrid power.

The Porsche 959 is a rare car, and F1 driver Nick Heidfeld owns the rarer Sport example. The car hadn't been driven much prior to Heidfeld acquiring it, so he had it fully restored by Porsche—a process that took nearly four years to complete.
