  • The final Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion built, for sale on the duPont Registry

    If you’re looking for an exotic, limited-production supercar from a mainstream manufacturer, it doesn’t get much more exclusive than one of 20 built. To homologate its 911 GT1 for FIA competition, Porsche was supposed to build 25 road-going examples, called Strassenversion, and the 20 completed remain among the most desirable of modern Porsches. Slightly detuned for emission compliance, the 911 GT1 Strassenversion still produced some 537 horsepower from its 3.2-liter flat-six engine. Given the car’s dry weight of just 2,535 pounds, that was enough thrust to propel the car...

  • A Ferrari FF, destroyed in a Nashville, Tennessee crash

    To make Ferrari’s FF shooting brake more civil for everyday driving, the automaker incorporated its first-ever all-wheel-drive setup in the 651-horsepower grocery-getter.

Still, the laws of physics apply to any car, even the Ferrari FF. A Nashville, Tennessee FF owner found this out the hard way when he impacted a curb at speed in his new Bianco Avus Ferrari, tearing off the right front wheel and peeling back the bodywork up to the passenger...
