Priceless is a word thrown around a lot these days when describing classic cars, but for this 1951 Porsche 356 SL Gmünd Coupe there really isn’t a more appropriate descriptor. It’s the first Porsche sports car developed for racing, and it’s the first to have notched up a...

We called it "Mid-Engine Magic" in our first drive of the Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] 488 GTB. The car earned that title mostly because of the wonderful powerplant sitting behind the driver's head.
