The Ferrari F50 was built from 1995 to 1997 in Maranello, Italy, as a follow-up to the F40 and a celebration of Ferrari’s 50th anniversary. It was designed to bring Formula 1 technology to the street with a limited run of just 349 cars.

It uses a 4.7 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine derived from Ferrari’s early 1990s Formula 1 program. The car produces about 520 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque, giving it a 0 to 60 mph time of around 3.7 seconds and a top speed of about 202 mph.

When new, the Ferrari F50 cost about $475,000 in 1995, with U.S. buyers paying closer to $560,000 through a lease-to-own program, which is about $1 million today. Current sales prices are averaging just over $5,000,000, with a recent auction record of $9.2 million in August 2025.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R V·Spec II came out in August 2000 and was built until 2002 in Japan. Only about 1,855 were made, and it stood out from the earlier V·Spec with changes like a lighter carbon fiber hood with an air duct, stiffer suspension, and bigger rear brakes.

The V·Spec II came with the RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbo straight-six engine, officially rated at 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. Paired with all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual, it can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.8 seconds, and while factory cars were limited in Japan, a de-restricted version can reach about 165 mph.

When new, the V·Spec II was ¥5,748,000, which was about $52,000 at the time. Today V·Spec II cars typically sell in the $150,000 to $250,000 range, with rare colors commanding much higher prices, sometimes approaching $400,000.

The Lexus LFA was built from 2010 through 2012 at the Motomachi plant in Japan, and only 500 were made worldwide. A small batch of 64 Nürburgring Package cars with track-focused upgrades was produced during 2012.

The LFA came with a 4.8-liter V10 engine built with help from Yamaha that made 552 horsepower. It sent power to the back wheels through a 6-speed automated manual, could go from 0 to 60 mph in around 3 to 4 seconds, and had a top speed of about 202 mph, with a lightweight carbon fiber body to keep it strong and fast.

When it was new, the LFA cost about $375,000, and the special Nürburgring version was about $445,000\. Today, regular LFAs usually sell for $700,000 to $900,000, while the Nürburgring versions can go for $1.5 million or more.
