* Almost any Italian Car easily falls into this trope, though it's not surprising to see them also fall into [[The Alleged Car]] territory.
** As [[Word of God|Enzo Ferrari himself allegedly said]], before all Ferraris, Lamborghinis or Lancias [[Trope Maker|THE]] Italian Car Itself can only be an Alfa Romeo. (Enzo Ferrari [[Chuck Norris Facts|had begun his racing career at]] Alfa Romeo.)
** Speaking of Ferraris, most of them were cool because they ''had'' [[Cursed With Awesome|to be cool]]. [http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ferrari/1969-1974-ferrari-dino-246-gt-ar79301.html The]
* Ford GT, the [[Spiritual Successor]] to the legendary GT-40, the greatest car that Ford has ever made.

Special Mention goes to the [[Made of Win|Reventon]], just
** The 1995 version of the Lamborghini Diablo SE30, it has most of the accesories removed in exchange for more horsepower and a high enough top speed to rival NASCAR, only 150 were ever made and Jamiroqaui frontman Jay Kay owned one of them, he wanted it shipped overseas so it could appear in the video for ''Cosmic Girl'', too bad for him the car's handler couldn't resist taking the Diablo on a joyride and smashing it up beyond repair.
** On the subject of Lambo's, the Countach would count since it was the first Lamborghini to use their infamous swing up doors. (Fact: They were used because normal doors just would not work with the design, a classic case of [[Awesome Yet Practical]].)
