Not many cars end up being icons. These
cars have something inherently unique about them that they end up
being revered after a period of time. Some gain such a reputation by
their performance. Some by their style and some manage to do both.
On one end of the scale, there are
those icons like the Porsche 911. A car renowned for its performance
and also its styling. It has become one of the benchmarks for a
performance car and its silhouette is immediately recognisable. There
are also cars like most Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. The mere
whisper of their name sends motorheads weak in the knees. These are
performance icons.
