The olden days of SuperCars

In the olden days of motoring, SuperCars hadn't been invented yet, but it was Ferrari who invented the SuperCars, which were fast, powerful and really cool looking. Their first car they made the 166 Inter which was actually the first SuperCar that sold in great numbers.

It only cost £600 which was excellent, but then Lamborghini, one of Ferrari's carmaker rivals, decided to join in.

They came up with the 350gt and the 400gt, but while the only 350 350gt's were built, only 400 400gt's were made and were all sold as soon as it went into production. Ferrari's worst selling car to date is the 500 Superfast.

Ferrari were, fittingly to go with the name, going to make 500 of them, but when there was a Global Economy fell into a crisis when it was being produced, they could only make 37 of them.

But then in the late 60's, they came back with 365 Daytona, which actually sold more than the 166 Inter, even though it cost an entire £1K.

It is pictured here with Richard Hammond behind the wheel, as he races it agaimst James May (a.k.a Captain Slow), who was in a powerboat during Season 12 of the world's biggest car show, Top Gear.

Hammond may have lost, but that didn't stop him falling in love with the Daytona.
