Classic Cars vs. Modern Cars The Change of Perception of Desirable Cars To begin, we have to define what a classic car is, and it really varies by country and everyone’s perception and opinion. Most commonly, a classic car is an older automobile. To be a classic, the car does not just have to be rare, but it needs to have enough historical interest to be collectable and worth preserving or restoring rather than scrapping. A fantastic example is the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (pictured below), or more commonly known as the “Gullwing Mercedes�, produced from 1954 to 1963. That car was the fastest production vehicle of its time,

and introduced many new engineering concepts to the car industry. Immediately successful and today iconic, the 300 SL stood alone with its distinctive gullwing doors that fold up, as well as featuring the first-ever production fuel injection engine.It was the first what can be described as the race car for the road, being powered by a relatively strong engine mounted to a lightweight chassis. With so much history, racing heritage, and groundbreaking and truly evolutionary engineering, this car is a clear classic, now selling for more than two
million dollars at auctions. That is what defines a classic car, and many experts are worried that in the modern age of the car industry, manufacturers are not producing any unique or truly revolutionary cars, preventing them from becoming classics in the future. In an age of mass production with a clear focus on profit, cars are becoming very similar, oriented solely on what everyday people want, rather than paying attention to the enthusiasts still stuck in the past. Yet, most people are missing the silent revolution that is happening behind the scenes - electric cars with autonomy. These automobiles are becoming less and less engaging, with a maximum focus on comfort. With fewer people driving themselves,
manufactures will have realizedthat they could fully abandon driving enthusiasts, and cars will become so similar that they will be difficult to differentiate even for the trained eye. Our modern cars are becoming the last of an era, and that makes it obvious that our current manufactures are still producing very special cars. This contradicts the view of many experts - although cars are becoming more difficult to differentiate, there are still several ones that stand out from the rest of the crowd, simply made for the fun of driving. Our modern cars are still making history at times with increasingly bigger budgets, car manufactures sometimes try to experiment to make the cars more

revolutionary for a certain class of customers, designing and building on new technologies. In motor racing, teams are coming up with crazy concepts that often influence road-legal cars, proving to be efficient and drawing in another group of customers. And to make cars even more special, certain car companies limit their cars on production numbers, knowing how much PR that would create, making specific models all the more desirable. To conclude, many cars still have great potential to be classics in the future, never to be forgotten in the minds of the car industry and core purists or enthusiasts. Cars are still special, and deserve
to be celebrated now and in the future. We should hold on to these cars, and enjoy the modern era of automobiles as long as they exist, which might not last long. This magazine honors certain manufacturers and car models introduced in the past twenty years that led to a difference in the car industry and to many people throughout the world, leading to a point of time when cars are becoming more useful than ever. Such cars are rumored, and at times almost certain to become classics, and investing into these vehicles can generate you a lot of money in the future.

Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Alfa Romeo had a glorious time in the 1980s, with cars that were both beautiful to look at and beautiful to drive. Yet, the Italian car company went with high expectations into the following years, designing some of the most gorgeous cars ever to be seen in the car industry. But beyond the skin, all cars proved to be a failure, either painfully unreliable, terrible to drive with a disengaging experience, or simply both. Enthusiasts started to give up their hopes on Alfa Romeo, doubting that they could ever produce another successful sports sedan, a segment of cars that made Alfa Romeo famous. The Giulia Quadrifolgio, surrounded by a dark fog of previous failures and repeated shortage
failures and repeated shortage of money and bankruptcy, is different. Simply put, this car marks the return of the Italian sports sedan. Alfa Romeo has returned, with a car both amazingly pretty and a joy to drive. In fact, it is so great in fact that it presented to be a serious rival to the all-time king of sports sedans, the BMW M3. Yet, most reviewers deemed the Alfa to be a better car, with impeccable handling and a turbo-charged V6 that delivers fantastic sounds with little turbolag. Simply put, this car is what you expect if Ferrari ever produced a sports sedan, returning Alfa Romeo to its glorious and glamourous days.

BMW 1M For years, BMW enthusiasts and journalists have yearned for a small, agile, and simply a true sports car through and through - a car that would continue the legacy of the original M3. Over decades, the M3 has grown significantly in size, and seemingly lost its soul from the original, with excessive power and size. While the M3 continued to sell well, BMW was working on something in the background, so unexpected that it surprised the entire automotive industry they released the 1M, very similar in size to the original M3. Core enthusiasts loved it, being more than the German company could have ever imagined. This car did not just deliver the same form factor of the original German sports sedan, but also had the same soul! Year after
year, BMW has been accused of having forgotten their heritage, having forgotten how to engineer another sporty sedan that would satisfy the needs for both enthusiasts and everyday drivers. With this car, BMW delivered, returning to their original roots of passion and delicate engineering. With a manual transmission, a delightful steering feel, and a rear end that seemingly wanted to drift whenever possible, this vehicle was a true driver’s car, engaging and fun to drive in every situation. BMW was blown away by the crazy demand this car received, and only produced a total of 6309 units in a single production year.

BMW M2 Where the story of the 1M ends, the one of the M2 starts. After the overwhelming success of the 1M, BMW kept quiet. The manual transmission was slowly dying out, and BMW was only further supporting this movement by offering mainly dual-clutch or automatic transmissions. Drivers enthusiasts were yearning for a successor to the 1M, and the world of journalism once again started accusing BMW of not listening to their core customer base. How could you not continue the success of the 1M? Yet, BMW was using the 1M as their
foundation for the highly anticipated successor, the M2. BMW was back, the journalists said, with a car slightly more tame than its predecessor. It was improved in almost every way, with a more delicate steering feeling, improved fuel economy and power, as well as a smoother and even more engaging manual transmission. It continued the legacy of the original M3 that made BMW so famous among driving enthusiasts, at a relatively low price, small form factor, practicality, and unrivaled fun.

Chevrolet SS The Chevrolet SS is the last of its kind - a true American sports sedan, delivering more than 415 horsepower. It was for all the dads that wanted to haul their families around without ever being bored, and such a segment has slowly died out over the years. This is what makes the Chevy SS so exciting - it is powered by a LS3 V8 originally found in the Corvette. This makes for a strong and unique sound, while also being engaging through a six-speed manual transmission and a rear-wheel drive drivetrain. Additionally, Chevrolet paid plenty of attention to the chassis and the suspension, and the car is rather agile and fun to drive
with Magnetic Ride Control. Reviewers celebrated the Chevy SS, and it received mostly top-class ratings and magnificent (and plenty of) PR. Yet, this car is not selling particularly well many enthusiasts are scared off by the high starting price of approximately $47k. Although justified, many car enthusiasts, particularly the ones who have just started a family, don’t have that much money. In the end, this has led to less than 10,000 units sold throughout its entire production run. This makes the car incredibly rare and desirable for many, and will be appreciated greater in the near future.

Dodge Viper The Viper was always a tricky car for Dodge to sell - while it wowed pretty much every car enthusiast and journalist, it did not fit into any niche in the US market, which was the primary market it was sold. It truly was a driver’s car, being one of the few existing cars that continued to be unique with its mean styling, as well as the lack of many shared components. The Viper does not like to share components, and is developed in its sole purpose, making it more exclusive and special that way. But as already explained, it did not fit to any specific market, and therefore did not appeal to many people - it wasn’t a muscle car or a pony car, but rather than an American-made exotic car. It was designed as a track weapon with unrivaled engagement and difficulty to drive. Throughout the years,
Dodge kept fitting a unique 8.4L (!) V10 engine into its halo car, and the most modern Viper, which is also the most likely to become a future classic throughout the Viper range, has a power output of a staggering 645 horsepower. It was not sold with an automatic transmission, being exclusively a manual car. Despite possessing impeccable performance capabilities, those would prove extremely impractical in the US market. The most recent Viper has sold so poorly in fact, that Dodge discontinued last year, with no plans to bring it back. In 2016, only 630 units were sold, and with that rarity and exclusivity, this car is sure to be a future classic, albeit forgotten in the present.

Ferrari 458 Speciale Few people expected Ferrari to continue improving the 458 platform. It simply was already so good, that there was little to make more special. Yet, Ferrari brought the 458 Speciale, and as the name suggests, it is a lot more special than the standard model. It was hailed by car journalists, being a lot more playful and engaging than the regular 458, despite the missing manual transmission. To the contrary, the dual-clutch transmission proved to be quick and efficient, and paired to the glorious naturally-aspirated V8, it made a magnificent package. Elaborating on that engine,
it had the best power per liter of any non-turbo engine on sale, delivering 597 horsepower with a displacement of of 4.5L. This car is considered by many experts as the spiritual successor to the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, as they are both light, performance-oriented cars with unprecedented handling characteristics. The 458 Speciale improved on an already fantastic car, changing the way by which supercars are now judged, and with limited production numbers, this car is sure to become a classic in the future.

Ferrari LaFerrari The Ferrari LaFerrari isn’t just any Ferrari, as the name suggests. It might be just one of the most extreme Ferraris ever built, introducing numerous motor racing technologies to a roadcar. Starting off, it is the first hybrid Ferrari ever built, powered by a HY-KERS drivetrain derived from Formula 1. This highly complex drivetrain features the most powerful Ferrari V12 engine ever made, itself producing 788 horsepower at a staggering 9000 rpm, as well as a 161 horsepower electric motor, delivering oodles more torque. Combined, these two engines make 949 horsepower, which sure makes for a nice car. To top it off, the car has a dry weight of only 2800 pounds,

ctions
which leads to special handling characteristics never seen before in Ferrari history. Yes, this car is made to make history, continuing the legacy of the legendary Enzo, setting new standards in the hypercar world, a world where Ferrari has never set a foot in. Only 500 units of the Ferrari LaFerrari were made, plus an additional 200 for the convertible version. This makes the car incredibly rare and desirable, and by introducing many new concepts and technologies into the roadcar world, this car will become very expensive and sought after in the future.
Ford GT The new Ford GT is the modern halo car of Ford, who has struggled with an image of boring cars and little progress. This car not just marks the start of a new design era for the American automotive company, but also completely changes the mojo of the brand, and how everyday people interact and connect with their vehicles. It returns the brand to its roots once again, and the memories of fighting with other brands like Ferrari and Porsche in one of the most prestigious races on Earth - Le Mans. In the 1960s, Ford invested a lot of resources into creating a car that could beat the very best, and it took them years full of

failures to be able to step on the podium and win. The Ford GT from 2006 celebrated that heritage and hard work, yet could not really connect to its past without a car racing in Daytona or LeMans. This is why the newest generation Ford GT is even more valuable - Ford has once again entered the big fight, and is starting to win with their GT race car, continuing their glorious legacy with a beautiful car. On top of that, Ford only plans to produce 250 units per year until reaching the 1000 number benchmark, making this car even more rare and desirable.
Ford Mustang GT500 Since their births, both pony cars and muscle cars have changed drastically over the years, but with the Mustang GT500, Ford wanted to return it to its roots. It is a brilliant throwback, and like all the muscle cars in the past, the Mustang was dominated by its V8 engine. The engine has 5.8L of displacement, and with the help of a supercharger, the car pumps out 662 horsepower, making this the most powerful Mustang ever produced. The records don’t end here though it is also the fastest Mustang the world has ever seen, with a claimed top speed north of 200 miles per hour. The Mustang has once again returned to being a desirable car, able to
show off in front of your neighbors, thanks to the greatest V8 mumble heard in years, as well as unique and more eye-catching body design and being able to pull some magnificent burnouts. Like muscle cars in the past, it was simply overkill for the road. To top it off, the GT500 was kept affordable for those who yearned for one, starting at only $55k for impressive and supercar-rivaling performance. Sadly, to keep it desirable and special, Ford did not produce many, meaning this fantastic and authentic throwback to the past is almost certain to become a classic in the future.

Honda NSX-R When Honda introduced the NSX in 1990, they set out to establish a new concept in sports car value, offering serious performance at a relatively cheap price. It had many things going for it - its body was all constructed from aluminium, making it lightweight, while also featuring a naturally-aspirated engine which drew upon Honda’s knowledge of the Japanese GT racing car championship. And on top of that, it was created with the help of Ayrton Senna, considered by many to be the greatest racing driver of all time. The car was an instant hit, as many customers were satisfied with a low price for a practical sports car, which was unprecedented these days. Then, the NSX-R came along, and it built on the foundation
Honda set with the standard model, yet outperforming it in pretty much every way imaginable. It was lighter, more powerful, better at braking, and thanks to its improved aerodynamics and carbon fiber rear spoiler, it was even better at tackling corners at a high speed. The car revolutionized on how a sports car could be percepted, bringing new concepts into this highly competitive world at an affordable price. Understandably, it was very desirable, but Honda made sure to keep it very special and rare with incredibly limited production numbers. All in all, the Honda NSX-R was ahead of its time, checking all the pillars on how to be a future classic.

Honda S2000 In an age where sports cars were dying out, Honda made an incredibly bold and risky decision - they poured a lot of resources into a project that became to be known as the S2000 to the public. It was designed to be their halo car, a sports car geared to the few enthusiasts that still yearned for great engagement when driving. Yet, the Honda S2000 was more than just engaging, following the classic sports car formula that in recent years proved to be rather unsuccessful, being front-engined and rear-wheel drive. This car was not particularly reliable or efficient, mainly focusing on the driver at all times. Honda didn’t care
much about the numbers and performance figures, but made sure that the driver and passenger always enjoyed the drive, and the S2000 was only sold as a convertible version. Not to forget the signature Honda VTEC engine, which was naturally-aspirated and able to rev close to 9000 rpm. All in all, Honda made a package that was widely celebrated among car enthusiasts, elevating their brand image. The Japanese car manufacturer made clear that they could still produce exciting cars that needed undivided attention, and the S2000 marked an important moment in their history.

Mazda RX-8 The Mazda RX8 had huge footsteps to step into, being the successor of the legendary Mazda RX7. Yet, this car did not need to do that - Mazda engineered a fantastic car on its own, a car that simply can’t be compared to its predecessor. Starting with the engine, Mazda took a bold step by implementing a rotary engine, like it has done with previous models. Unfortunately, the car industry already moved on from such engines, as they proved to be very thirsty and mostly unreliable. Yet, Mazda wanted to focus on the driver, and a rotary engine would deliver tons of fun with a very high redline of 9000 rpm.

For a four-door car, this delivers some extreme noise, not to mention that everything is naturally-aspirated, too. Yet, it still feels like a sports car, light and nimble with a perfect weight distribution. Now, why is this car a future classic? Over time, it became increasingly rare, and most importantly, it marked the return of the rotary engine, an engine missed by purists for so long. It was loved by enthusiasts and still is, and both the engine and the entire car and chassis are beautiful executed pieces of engineering.
McLaren 675LT The name alone already indicates that this car isn’t just any McLaren - it is the long-tail version, just like the famous and iconic McLaren F1 GTR Longtail, which has won numerous races and championships around the globe. This car is nowhere near less special - it is McLaren’s answer to the Ferrari 458 Speciale, a harder, lighter, faster, unbelievably intense reworking of the 650S, best enjoyed on a circuit but still immensely satisfying on the road. With 666 horsepower, it sounds like the devil, and being more lightweight and track-focused, it has an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 542 horsepower per ton.
It clearly shows how hard McLaren worked in an effort to deliver the most focused driving experience imaginable. The exterior looks incredible and mean, with a huge front splitter and an active rear wing. With all these aerodynamic bits and pieces, it corners really well, with the help of a suspension borrowed from the McLaren P1. Only 500 were produced, plus an additional 500 for the spider, or roadster version. This car might just be the most sought after car in McLaren’s history for its driving characteristics that even rival hypercars, making it a sure classic in just a few years.

McLaren P1 This car marks the return of McLaren, who has been quiet in the supercar business after the release of the McLaren F1 during the 90s, which already became a classic and very desirable car. They were silently stepping up again with the MP4-12C in 2011, a gorgeous and well-handling car that proved to be very unreliable. Yet, McLaren wasn’t done yet, and responded to their long silence with the P1 hypercar, the successor to the great F1. Not only did it mark the start of a new chapter and era for McLaren, but the entire car industry. The release time span of this car couldn’t have
been greater - Ferrari and Porsche just revealed their first hypercars ever, making for a great rivalry between three prestigious companies. McLaren, however, always had an edge to the others, and that was its heritage. While McLaren chose to avoid to badge their newest halo car the F1, it was always seen as its great successor, mechanically advanced in every aspect, elevating the car industry to a new level and era. Finally, it also proved to be faster than its rivals by Ferrari and Porsche, marking a historical moment in the modern car scene.

Porsche 911R The Porsche 911R can be described as Porsche’s interpretation of the connected car, pure and simple. For years, purists screamed and asked where the hard-core, manual version of a Porsche was, and received no answer. Yet, with the 911R released in 2015, Porsche shut all the criticism up. It should be considered as the Porsche purist’s fantasy build. Every single piece of the car that was selected by Porsche was chosen to deliver the most direct and connected e xperience possible. What was left out through further weight reduction, sound insulation, and the PDK gearbox simply reinforces the car’s unwavering objective: unfiltered driving. The engine is a dream, screaming and singing whenever above
4000 rpm, as well as the true and direct handling characteristics that enabled drivers to feel every piece of the road, with the help of fantastically connected steering. With this car, Porsche proved they were listening to their customers once again, creating an incredibly desirable car. To keep it desirable and special, Porsche sadly produced only 991 examples of this car, but many more people want it. This can be shown through the crazy auction prices, as this car sells for more than half a million dollars already. If this trend continues, the 911R is sure to become a future classic, and might just become one of the most expensive and rarest car in Porsche history.

Porsche 918 It took Porsche years to develop a worthy successor to the vaunted Carrera GT supercar, but at last, they brought the much anticipated Porsche 918 Spyder - and it’s a plug-in hybrid! With a combined 887 horsepower and almost 1000 pound feet of torque from its mid-mounted V8 engine and two electric motors - one at each axle - the 918 delivers Bugatti-like acceleration, tenacious handling, and a 211-mph top end. With this model, Porsche recasted the whole hybrid car business in an amazing way, setting new standards on what a hybrid engine could do and achieve. It changed viewpoints of hybrid cars, proving they could be pretty awesome and very engaging to drive.
The noise level is insane, as the engine and the exhaust is mounted right behind the driver’s cabin, but in case you don’t want to disturb anyone in your neighborhood, the car is able to drive on full electric power for 16 miles before recharging. This car wrote history and thrust many new technologies into the car scene. As the name suggests, only 918 units of this car were produced, through a single model year. It can be said for sure that Porsche executed their first plug-in hybrid car very well, enticing many car enthusiasts and changing how the controversial hybrid business is perceived.

Porsche Cayman GT4 With this model, Porsche surprised the entire car industry. It was the first indication that the German automotive company listened to their customers, who were crying about the removal of the manual transmission in their performance models. A car rivaling the performance of the Porsche 911 GT3 with a manual transmission was a delicacy to magazines and journalists. Everything seemed to be perfect - the Cayman form factor with a large yet stylish rear wing, incredibly direct steering, and the feel of a wonderfully laid out manual transmission. Not to mention the sound - everyone who reviewed it were thoroughly impressed and surprised how Porsche could pack so much performance and lovely engine
noise in a 385 horsepower V6 engine. Many described this as one of the best cars they have ever driven, the most bang for a buck with an MSRP of $85,000. After all the reviews were released, Porsche was clearly overwhelmed, and although promising to only make 2500, they ended up producing over 6000 units to fit the customer demand. With this model, Porsche was back, proving they were listening to their customers and provided a unique car that was gorgeous to drive, and as investors are realizing the future of this rare performance machine, values have already risen approximately 25% from their base price just 2 years ago.

Subaru 22B The Subaru Impreza 22B STi is the latest in a line of killer turbocharged, four-cylinder, four-wheel-drive Imprezas that started with the 1993 Impreza WRX, and marks the end of an era for Subaru enthusiasts. The legendary 22B was born in 1998, intended to celebrate two major events in Subaru history. For one, the Japanese brand had just turned 40 years old, and secondly, it had claimed three back-to-back World Rally Championship constructors’ titles, from 1995 to 1997. What better a way to celebrate than to apply those rally car looks onto some
road-legal Impreza coupes? And that’s exactly what Subaru did, bestowed to 400 Japanese-market Imprezas, followed by 16 UK versions, five Aussie models, and three prototypes. That’s right, they only produced 424 units of a car that is called by many the “holy grail” of the Subaru world. Loaded with go-fast parts, widebody fender flares and an engine bumped to 2.2 liters, it remains the genesis of what we know an STI to be today, making this car very special and influential to the car industry.

Tesla Roadster So far, we have been talking about cars of the modern age, being the last of its kind with their gasoline engines. Yet, the first Tesla ever created could soon become a classic as well. It proved that the future of cars might not be as bland and lifeless as many experts depict it is. An electric sports car is plenty fun as well, delivering heaps of torque through a more lightweight chassis and body frame. Introduced in 2008, it looked more like an exotic car than an electric vehicle. The Tesla Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise in both chassis work and design, and just like a Lotus, it was pretty rare as well, with fewer than 3000 units
of the Tesla Roadster still roaming the roads. More on the battery pack: Although the battery pack contains the equivalent of just 2.1 gallons of gasoline (before recharging losses), Tesla claims the efficiency is six times that of rivaling sports cars, and it contributes ten times fewer CO2 emissions. To sum it up, this car brought many new technologies never before seen in the sports car world, and marked the birth of a new and exciting company that is now marketed and present on the entire planet, which will become the main reason for investors to pay into this car in the future.

Toyota Supra The fourth generation of the Toyota Supra marked a critical time in Toyota's history, seeing that they finally started placing greater emphasis on a serious, high-performance supercar. Yet, it wasn't just performance Toyota was focusing on, but they were also looking out for the driver, creating a sports car used for the joys of driving. That reflects in every aspect of the car - for instance, in the interior, everything is angled towards the drivers side, including the center console, ensuring the driver would hold control of the entirety of the car. Even greater, however, was the 2JZ engine. The engine was a JDM dream, available in a naturally-aspirated option and a twin-turbocharged, performance-oriented option, pumping out over 320
horsepower stock. For tuners, this engine was great and easy to upgrade, making the Supra famous on the drag strip when it came to quarter mile times, using only a few mods to achieve much greater horsepower. Yet, going in a straight line wasn't it's only talent. The Supra had sharp steering and fantastic handling characteristics, and mated to the wonderful inline-six engine, the car felt connected and in its own league. Sadly, it was discontinued in 2002 due to restrictive emission laws, meaning not many Supras were produced, and with desirable features and characteristics that are seldom found in this day and age, the Supra will make a great classic in the future.

Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
This article has been contributed by AJ Warne, expert car guru and employee at BR Racing. The 2003-2004 Mustang SVT Cobra is a future classic for sure. It didn’t just revolutionize and drastically evolve the Mustang brand as a whole, but introduced many and expensive technologies into the car industry at a relatively inexpensive price. When released, it surprised many among the Mustang community, and due to the effectiveness of the new parts, it was dubbed “Terminator�. This Mustang was one of the first cars ever to adopt an independent rear suspension, which improved the driving

feel of the car dramatically, and showed the car industry the importance of a revamped suspension, as drivers really liked it and were increasingly attracted to the Ford brand. Additionally, it was the first mass-produced Mustang with a supercharger, which increased power to almost 400 horses. Through having made history, the prices for this Mustang have already exploded and continue to be on the rise, and make this car, with no doubt, a classic in the future.
This magazine covers modern cars that have made a significant and positive impact in the car industry, and along with rarity, exclusivity, and driver impressions, are viewed by many experts as future classics. To qualify, cars from the last twenty years must have written history and introduced new and highly successful technologies to the customers, and must be deemed likely to rise in value in the upcoming years to sell during auctions. The twenty most noteworthy cars are featured with articles about each one written by Diogo Draese, with an interviewed guest opinion by expert and car guru AJ Warne.
