The Headlines

There Were 399…No 400… No 500 Enzos Actually Made


Ferrari's been saying they only made 400 of their iconic Enzo models, but it looks like they might have been playing coy. Ferrari Historian Carbon McCoy has been on the VIN hunt for 20 years and he's found about 500 Enzo VINs. While this could put a dent in the Enzo's rarity factor, with the billionaire count on the rise and even non-limited Ferraris' prices hitting the roof, the Enzo's value isn't hitting the brakes anytime soon.

1,000+ Horsepower Showdown…OMG: Bugatti Chiron vs. Rimac Nevera vs. Tesla Plaid

Wow, this is the race I’ve been waiting for as a former owner of a Tesla Plaid. I won’t spoil it, but it’s incredible to see these 3 cars against each other. Granted 2 of the 3 are still multi-million dollar cars, it is crazy that a normal person can buy these for everyday road use if they wanted to. I always ask myself: where will we be in 10 years?

What’s even more impressive is that they sold this many cars with Aventador production ending and the Huracan nearing end of life too.

Top Spots This Week

It’s summer… so there’s going to be plenty of awesome spots this week. Enjoy 🙂 

Cars Worth Buying

Every week we share a few sports cars and exotic cars that we think are great to own and also priced really well. If we could, we’d go and buy all of them…

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe AWD - $106,990

The miles are high on this, but Porsche’s will hold up well beyond 60k miles. This car has been on the lot for well over 90 days, so there’s big room to negotiate.

2015 McLaren 650S Spider - $179,995

This is expensive for a 650S, but there’s good reason why… the spec & options had an MSRP of 407K. It also has a year warranty.

2018 Jaguar F-TYPE SVR Coupe AWD - $74,955

Jaguar dealership and a good price point for an SVR. One of the best V8 engines out there that you can buy for the money.

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Coupe AWD - $161,500

The Superleggera is an incredible drive. I’ve seen the owner talk about this car, so it’s a good one to look at. It is a Pre LP version.

15k-Mile 2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5 Sport

This is a collector car that I want to own one day. 15K miles and a 2.5 Sport is a good one to go for. They’ve been selling a bit lower lately too.
