**1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1 - $ 1.2 Million**
The '69 Corvette ZL1 had a 427 cu-in L88 engine that officially produced 430 hp, although there are several reports claiming it actually made in excess of 500 hp. Either way, the ZL-1 was the most powerful Corvette available at the time.
All that power meant it needed some other upgrades as well. It received special front and rear suspension, heavy-duty brakes, positraction rear axle, and transistorized ignition were all must-have options for the ’69 Corvette ZL-1. According to the official records, only two 1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1s were sold, and only one of those is fully documented.
**Porsche 911 Dakar**
Of course there’s a new type of Porsche 911 on the way. When isn’t there? Soon we’re expecting to see a facelifted 992, with the 911 taking its first steps into the electric hybrid era. But in the meantime, there’s a jacked-up, rough-and-tumble version for living our your rally raid fantasies on the way to the supermarket.
**Tesla Model S Plaid review: the best electric powertrain in the world**
Good heavens! What’s it like having 1,020bhp under your big toe?
It’s a rush. You access maximum beans by swiping over into Plaid mode via the touchscreen, although there’s no fanfare, no warning bong, no alert to tell you you’re one bad decision away from being a viral laughing stock on YouTube.
Hit the throttle and the response is instant, drop-kicking your entire body back into the seat as the car catapults forward. For a fraction of a second you’re clinging on for dear life, leaving just enough thinking time to remember that the speed limit a) exists, and b) is fast approaching. Nothing else on four wheels accelerates quite like this.
With no traffic or laws to worry about the Plaid could hit 100mph from rest in 4.19s and chalk off a quarter-mile sprint in 9.23s, crossing the gate at 155mph. Top speed’s 200mph.
**Volkswagen Scirocco**
Based on the fantastic Volkswagen GTI, the Scirocco offers a wide stance and an aggressive, angular front headlight-and-grille combo.
