Top 14 Most Iconic Sports Cars Of All Time

6. Ferrari Daytona

Daytona was released shortly after the Lamborghini Miura. Where the Miura was wild, new and daring, though, the Daytona was elegant and classic. The Ferrari was a front-engine, two-plus-two grand tourer in the tradition of the company’s 275 and 250 models. While the car is popularly called the “Daytona,” its official designation was 365 GTB/4. The Daytona name was inspired by Ferrari’s 1-2-3 finish at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race.

Today, Daytona is a favorite of classic car collectors. To many, it evokes 1960s-era glamour and luxury like no other vehicle. Its sweeping, almost understated Pininfarina-designed shape appears handsome and modern even four decades after it was created. Although the car wasn’t the fastest of its day, it was still very powerful. A handmade 4.4-liter V-12 sent power to the rear wheels. The car produced a maximum of 352 horsepower, which was enough for 0-60 mph time of about five and a half seconds and a top speed of over 170 mph.
