Group B rally cars are the stuff of legend: fire-spitting, gravel-throwing machines from the likes of Audi, Peugeot, Lancia and Renault. The tacked-on box flares just added to their coolness factor. These machines defined the ’80s–until the FIA pulled the plug on their class after the 1986 season. The reason? Just too fast–and deadly–for their own good. The Group B rules gave manufacturers a place to show off rally-ready versions of their latest street cars. The basic silhouettes might have looked familiar, but each one contained a full slate of go-fast parts: unlimited boost, all-wheel drive and composite body panels. Engineers ignored...

Jaguar’s Mk. I Saloon (sedan, on this side of the pond), produced from 1955 to 1959, embodied the marque’s ethos of “Grace, Pace and Space.” Produced in both 2.4 and 3.4-liter variants, the cars were only referred to by the Mk I name retroactively, following the introduction of the Mk II in 1959.

A rare example of one of Ferrari’s most beautiful race cars will cross the auction block next month.     RM Sotheby’s will sell a one-of-19 500 TRC Spider as part of its upcoming Monterey Car Week sale. Of course, landing the vehicle will be no easy feat as bidding could reach as high as eight figures. The 500 TRC Spider is a more refined and driver-friendly version of the 500 TR, the first Ferrari to bear the Testa Rossa name. In production from 1956 to 1957—only 19 units...

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee wasn’t just an opportunity for the British people to celebrate their 96-year-old monarch, it also gave Jaguar the chance to showcase its latest official restomod. The marque’s restoration division, Jaguar Classic, debuted a beautiful 1965 Series 1 E-type roadster just in time for the event’s 15-car pageant on Sunday. The one-of-a-kind rebuild isn’t just meant to be a reminder of the brand’s glory days; it’s also proof that it can take the cars from that era and get them into near-new condition. The restomod was commissioned by an anonymous Jag lover who was looking for a...
