1999 Nissan Silvia Spec-R
Possibly the final-generation of Nissan's cult-favorite FR drift tuner, the S15 Silvia is quite a better-looking Silvia even by modern standards. It may have the same 2.0L engine as the other predecessors, famously the S13 and the S14 Silvias of yesteryears, but thanks to the improved mechanism, the S15 is by no means the sportiest Silvia ever made. The S15 was launched in early 1999, which is coincidentally the same year as the R34 Skyline GT-R was launched.

1968 Ford GT40
In the 1960's, Ford originally planned to buy Italian sportscar maker Ferrari but when Enzo Ferrari rejected Ford's plan to buy it, the American carmaker is plotting revenge against Ferrari over the rejected transaction and what would Ford do? Make their own Le Mans racer to take on the likes of the Ferrari. The GT40 was the response to take on Le Mans' finest and this is the first car in history to win the race more than once with the same chassis. This is the road-legal version of Ford's Le Mans winner and only seven of these were made. Although it's identical to the Mk.I GT40, the 4.7L engine was detuned to 335HP of power while the mechanism has been calibrated to road use.

2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
A Humvee for everyone, that's what best describes the Hummer H1 not only because it resembles like the Humvee that the US military troops used in their missions but it remains one of the favorite among high-profile personalities, especially actor turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thanks to new emission law for diesel engines, 2006 is the last model year for the H1 and that seems to be quite a shame even though Hummer is gone in 2010. The Alpha model was more of a revised H1 with the 6.6L Duramax V8 diesel engine mated with a 5-speed gearbox.
