1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

The Lamborghini Miura was named after Don Eduardo Miura Fernández, a legendary breeder of fierce Spanish fighting bulls. Prior to the arrival of the Miura in 1967, the supercar didn't exist. The Miura was the first car to be built around 3 key criteria: tremendous speed and jaw-dropping design coupled with technical innovation, resulting in a price tag which only the wealthiest could possibly afford.
Almost immediately, the Lamborghini marque leapfrogged to the head of the class, well ahead of both Ferrari and Maserati, with it's innovative mid-engine configuration. The Miura, which breathed through four triple-choke Weber carburetors, initially offered 350 horsepower on tap and was capable of 175 mph. It was more than a match for any other road going production car of it's era.
In 1968, the “S,” or spinto (tuned), version appeared, boasting 370hp, updated brakes, and other enhancements. The S version was faster and more luxurious. It represented a step forward from its magnificent predecessor.
The Miura S was capable of reaching 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and 140 mph in fewer than 30 seconds. 160 units were produced in 1969. Hagerty suggests a concours 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S is trending around $2.9m.

1986 Ford RS200 Evolution

The Ford RS200 is a mid-engined, four-wheel drive sports car that was produced by Ford Europe from 1984 to 1986. The road-going RS200 was based on Ford's Group B rally car and was designed to comply with FIA homologation regulations. The new vehicle's design featured a plastic-fiberglass composite body designed by Ghia, a mid-mounted engine and four-wheel drive. To aid weight distribution, designers mounted the transmission at the front of the car, which required that power from the mid-mounted engine go first up to the front wheels and then be run back to the rear, creating a complex drive train setup.
Power came from a 1.8 litre, single turbocharged Ford-Cosworth "BDT" engine producing 250 horsepower in road-going trim, and between 350 and 450 horsepower in racing trim. A total of 24 of the 200 original cars were later converted to the high performance "Evolution" models
Able to run with (and often leave behind) more prestigious and expensive supercars of the day, the RS200 Evolution remains a highly sought-after collectible. In 2023 a 1986 Ford RS200 Evolution was sold for $615k at RM Sotheby
