FactFerrari put the engine back up front for its flagship V12 for the first time since 1973, ending 23 years of mid-engine 12-cylinder orthodoxy.
The 550 Maranello (tipo F133) is a front-engine V12 two-seat grand tourer built from 1996 to 2002, marking Ferrari's return to a front-engine layout for its 12-cylinder two-seater 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Unveiled in July 1996 at the Nürburgring, it uses a 5.5-litre 65° V12 with a rear-mounted 6-speed transaxle and a steel space frame with aluminium panels by Pininfarina. It was replaced by the 575M Maranello in 2002.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
