This week’s market finds are all about the modern classics. So we’ve found five of the coolest cars that will hit the market in the new millennia, with a wildcard as an addition. Look below!
Go to GTO
That 2012 Ferrari 599 GTO kicks off this week with a bang, or rather a V12 whimper. The 599’s Pininfarina styling has aged very gracefully indeed, especially in GTO framing – it makes you wonder why Ferrari abandoned the famous design house. This UK-supplied copy is optionally available in the excellent combination of Russo Fuoco (one of our favorite Ferrari hues) with a Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, but with a 660hp V12 under your right foot we doubt the color would will even notice. With just over 4,000 miles on the clock, this prancing horse is begging to explore the open road.
Don’t fool around
Anyone who looked at this adorable BMW Z3 3.0i from 2002 knew what it was doing. Paintwork in Oxford Green, beige leather interior and a manual transmission between the seats – what more could you want? Yes, this clown shoe might not be the S54-powered Z3 M, but that means you’ll save some money and it still has a 227 hp in-line six under the hood. At almost 20 years of age, this car’s low mileage of just 24,847 miles is a rarity and should bring joy for many years to come. So if you’re not just into POWER or just into green, this could be the car for you.
British classic with a German heart
The Morgan Plus 8 was built in various guises for over half a century until production ended in 2018, and as you may have noticed, there were no replacements. This 2017 Morgan Plus 8 features the 4.8-liter BMW V8 that was first introduced in 2012 and puts out a hearty 368 horsepower and will likely prove to be much more reliable than the Rover unit in previous examples. Finished in Pearl White with black leather and fitted with AP Racing brakes, this Morgan offers the perfect combination of 1960s look and modern performance.
Endurance mentalist
There’s no denying that this 2007 Audi R10 TDI LMP1 is clearly the wildcard mentioned above. As one of only two privately owned R10s, this open rocket drove at ALMs in 2007 and at the Sebring 12h in 2008, where it reached pole position and 3rd place. As the name suggests, this Audi R10 is all about its Hercules -Motor – a 5.5 liter diesel V12 (this was before Dieselgate) that reportedly weighs more than 200 kg and has up to 700 horsepower. If you want to blow everything out of the water on your next trackday, then that’s it.
Like chicken teeth
“What’s so rare about a DB9?” You might be thinking. In truth, the DB9 is not a rare car, around 16,500 of these curvy British Grand Tourers were produced, which doesn’t exactly match McLaren F1 numbers. However, only 5% of the DB9 had a six-speed manual transmission, like this example from 2007, making it rarer than even a Porsche 918 Spyder. With a respectable 54,992 miles on the clock, this Tungsten Silver DB9 was clearly fun and would make an excellent continental cruiser for anyone who enjoys rowing themselves.
