FactA Stutz Black Hawk Speedster finished 2nd overall at Le Mans in 1928 — the best any American car would do there until 1966.
Stutz's inline-eight luxury line, introduced 1926 as the "Safety Stutz" and coachbuilt to the owner's preference by firms including Brewster, LeBaron, Rollston, Waterhouse and Weymann. The earliest AA/BB series (1926-1928) carried a 4.7 L (287-298 cu in) SOHC straight-eight making about 92 hp, later raised to 115 hp, with dual ignition and a nine-bearing crankshaft; wheelbases ran 130-145 in. Later series grew to the 5.3 L (322 cu in) SOHC straight-eight the page gives as the core engine, with an optional supercharger, through a 4-speed manual.

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.
