Italdesign reinvents Honda NSX hybrid, inspired by 1989 original

Italdesign's NSX restyling is a design exercise, not a reason to care

Italdesign has reworked the second-gen NSX with styling nods to the 1989 original—adding modern cues while pulling from the Japanese supercar's design language. It's a what-if study that asks the right questions about restraint versus contemporary trends, even if it's ultimately a one-off that won't touch road cars.

Design houses doing restomod concepts on production supercars used to mean something; now it's just portfolio work that'll live in a museum nobody visits.

1,900-Mile 2017 Ferrari F12tdf

1,900-Mile 2017 Ferrari F12tdf: The V12 That Never Got Driven

One of 799 F12tdfs built, this barely-broken-in example wears the correct spec—Extra Range Rosso over Blu Medio Alcantara—and pairs Ferrari's 6.3L naturally-aspirated F140 V12 with a seven-speed dual-clutch. At 1,900 miles, it's the kind of garage queen that reminds you why collectors lock these up: appreciating assets that happen to make 769 hp.

The F12tdf is finally becoming the car it always deserved to be—not the forgotten middle child between the 458 and F430, but a modern naturally-aspirated swan song that actually appreciates.

7k-Mile 1992 Ferrari 512 TR

7k-Mile 1992 Ferrari 512 TR: The Testarossa That Actually Got Driven

This 408-car North American 512 TR is finished in Nero over Connolly leather and shows just 7,000 miles—a rarity in the collector market where most examples sit in temperature-controlled obscurity. Fresh belt service and documented history suggest someone actually cared about maintenance instead of just asset appreciation. The 512 TR is the overlooked middle child of the Testarossa lineage, and clean low-mileage examples are finally commanding attention as values stabilize.

The 512 TR is what happens when Ferrari improves a car nobody asked them to improve—and now collectors are realizing they should've been paying attention.

1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi

1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi: When Mid-Engine Meant Something

This Nero-over-Rosso 308 GTSi represents the last generation before the Testarossa took over—fuel-injected 2.9L quad-cam V8, five-speed manual, Cromodora wheels, and that pop-up headlight charm that defined 80s Ferrari. Clean examples are getting harder to find, and values have started reflecting what enthusiasts always knew: the 308 is the thinking person's entry Ferrari, not the celebrity trophy.

The 308 GTSi is finally escaping its shadow as the 'affordable Ferrari'—it's the car that proved you don't need a 12-cylinder to understand what Maranello was actually doing.

The Car With The Most Powerful Naturally Aspirated Engine

Ferrari 12Cilindri: The Last Naturally Aspirated Stand

Ferrari's newest 12-cylinder produces 819 hp without forced induction—a middle finger to turbos disguised as engineering. The 6.2L V12 is hand-built and costs enough to buy three 355s. In a world of downsized displacement and synthetic exhaust noise, this is the last gasp of an old religion.

They're not making naturally aspirated V12s anymore because the accountants won. Ferrari's refusal to kill this one—for now—won't change what's coming next.

62 BaT Auctions Closing Today

62 BaT Lots Closing Today: 2.9L Carrera RS, 512 TR, and the Truck Renaissance

Today's Bring a Trailer slate spans the full spectrum—from air-cooled 911s to family-kept '51 GMC pickups to a fresh 992 GT3 RS still wearing dealer plates. The trucks are the real story here: vintage F-250s and Dodges are moving on no reserve, a sign the market finally remembers that 1970s iron holds its own against euro exotica. One eye on the Ferrari 512 TR; Euro cars from that era are getting their due.

BaT's truck presence has quietly become the most honest meter of collector priorities—when 45-year-family-owned pickups outsell hype cycles, the market's telling you something real.

Debate settled: We name every car maker's best model of all time

Every manufacturer's peak, ranked—and yes, the arguments are worse than you'd think

Autocar's staff went to war over which model defined each marque. From the MG ZT-T 260's sleeper credibility to whether a 911 variant beats the 356, they're parsing the real difference between good and generational. The gap between what journalists remember and what the market actually values keeps widening.

Ranking 'best ever' by brand is content comfort food—safe, divisive, and missing the point. The real story isn't the pick, it's that half these manufacturers peaked 15 years ago and everyone knows it.

The Ferrari California Is A High-End Sports Car Bargain

The California T Finally Makes Sense—Prices Have Collapsed to Reality

The Ferrari California was designed by committee for people who wanted a Ferrari but also wanted it to be easy. Now that depreciation has done its work, you can actually find clean examples at prices that don't require selling organs. The F1-derived 4.3L V8 is still brutally competent, and the retractable hardtop solved a problem nobody asked for—but it's a Ferrari that drives like one.

The California T isn't a joke anymore because values have finally separated the car from the hype. It's what happens when Ferrari makes something for accountants, then accountants abandon it—and builders get to inherit the leftovers.
