Every NSX Type S was hand-built in Marysville, Ohio, one of 350 out of 2,908 total NSXs.

Alfa cut up a Maserati MC20 to make this: its monocoque started life under MC20 bodywork before Touring reskinned it.

Ariel built its off-road buggy from the same bare tube exoskeleton as the roofless Atom, just pointed at gravel.

Due to debut a day earlier at Geneva, it never got the chance: the 2020 show was cancelled for COVID-19 first.

The Valhalla began life engineered with Red Bull Racing's F1 team, under the prototype name AM-RB 003.

Fernando Alonso ordered one Valiant for himself; Aston Martin liked it enough to build 38.

Aston Martin built exactly 110 Valours to mark its 110th birthday, pairing a DBS V12 with a manual gearbox.

The new Vanquish's V12 traces back to the DB11's 2016 engine, but almost nothing carried over — new block, heads, intakes, exhaust ports and turbochargers.

Aston Martin squeezed a 5.2-litre V12 into the Vantage and called it, at launch, the last V12 Vantage there would ever be.

The Victor pairs One-77 power with a manual gearbox, making it the most powerful manual Aston Martin ever built.

Audi closed out the R8 with the GT RWD: rear-wheel drive only, yet as much power as the strongest quattro R8.

BMW revived a badge retired since the 1970s for a 1,000-car run, choosing CSL over the GTS name it had planned.

The M5 CS has four bucket seats with the Nürburgring track layout printed on the headrests.

Bentley scanned all 630 parts of a 1920s Blower to build twelve new ones using period factory processes.

This Australian hand-built supercar borrows an unlikely part bin item: its tail-lights are lifted straight from a 2000s Honda Integra DC5.

Bugatti's quality control runs so deep that in 2022 it issued a factory recall for exactly one Chiron — over a single loose frame screw on that specific car.

Bugatti capped the Chiron at 420 km/h because it concluded no tyre then made could survive its real top speed.

Bugatti says the Super Sport could run faster than 440 km/h but capped it there because the tires cannot go higher.

Bugatti planned 30 Profilées but had already promised every one of 500 Chiron build slots, so it sold just the one.

Bugatti's 110th-birthday Chiron Sport carries the French tricolour on its mirrors, fuel cap and the underside of its rear wing.

Bugatti planned 30 Profilée units in 2022, but all 500 Chiron production slots were already sold, so the project was cancelled after one car.

A pre-production Chiron hit 304.773 mph at Ehra-Lessien, then Bugatti sold the production version electronically capped at 273 mph.

Every Divo was sold before it existed, pre-bought by Chiron owners who already had a faster car in the garage.

The Mistral closed out the W16 engine's career by making it the fastest roadster on earth, at 282 mph with the top off.

Bugatti states the Tourbillon shares zero components with the Chiron, replacing it with a Cosworth-built naturally aspirated V16.

Rimac built a joke into the Nevera's safety kit: a fire extinguisher strapped in back with leather embossed 'In case of hill climb, extinguish fire' — a jab at Richard Hammond, who crashed and burned a Rimac Concept One on a hill climb.

The 620R tops the Seven range with 310 hp from a supercharged 2.0 — enough to hit 60 mph in 2.79 seconds in a car you can still buy as a kit.
