5. Morgan AeroMax
The Morgan AeroMax was first commissioned by a Morgan fan called Prince Eric Sturdza. But while the model was conceived as a one-off, the company was looking at ways to expand – and decided to build an exclusive production run of 100 in time to go on sale in 2008. Essentially an Aero 8 with a roof, the AeroMax shares its aluminium-bonded monocoque suspension set-up and meaty BMW V8 powerplant with the roadster.
But as with more recent versions of the drop-top, this latest model is 6 cm wider than the original Aero 8, and has had its controversial bug-eye headlamps moved round to a slightly more conventional position. The end result is a stunning machine that convincingly carries off the modern take on a classic design, and offers easily as much head-turning appeal as a Ferrari. Slip inside, and as is the case with the exterior, the AeroMax’s cabin serves up an interesting combination of traditional and hi-tech.
4. Ferrari FX

It featured the flat-twelve engine of the Ferrari Testarossa and a 7 speed sequential transmission from the Williams Formula One team.

Car number four is now on display at the Marconi Museum in Tustin, California. The FX has a top speed of around 330 kph (205 mph).

The GG50 is a 2+2 coupé "supercar". Most of the elements of the interior design are from the similar Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, as well as part of the exterior design. Some cues, such as the steering wheel, derive from Ferrari's F1 vehicles of the past.
Unique parts of the GG50 are its dashboard and the fact that the GG50 uses the Pioneer AVIC–X1R satellite navigation system. The Ferrari F1 GG50 has special modifications inspired by Formula 1, to improve performance. It uses a 65 degree V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine. The engine develops peak power of 540 horsepower (400 kW), which is 94 horsepower (70 kW) per litre. The compression ratio is 11.2:1. The GG50 uses a sequential mode automatic transmission.
2. Fisker Latigo CS
The Fisker Latigo CS is one of the two models developed and produced by Fisker Coachbuild. It debuted at the 2005 Frankfurt Auto Show along with the Fisker Tramonto. The Fisker Latigo CS was intended to be limited to a run of 150 cars. Ultimately, only two Latigos were ever produced. The Latigo CS is a two door coupe based on the 2nd newest generation BMW 6 Series (E63). Fisker Coachbuild customers would purchase and deliver to Fisker a BMW 645/650/M6 and Fisker would build the Latigo CS on the existing chassis.
The original exterior is replaced by an all new body designed by Henrik Fisker. The body features extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber. Customers could then choose from a number of customized upgrades to the engine/drivetrain, interior, and exterior. As coachbuild, Fisker turned its attention to the new EV market, the company stopped further marketing of the Latigo. The only two Latigos ever built were car #000, the prototype based on the BMW 645i, and the only customer car ever delivered: car #001 based on a BMW M6.
1. Ferrari P4/5
The Ferrari P4/5 (officially known as the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina) is a one-off sports car made by Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari but redesigned by Pininfarina for film director and stock exchange magnate James Glickenhaus. The car was an Enzo Ferrari but the owner James Glickenhaus preferred the styling of Ferrari's 1960s race cars, the P Series. The project cost Glickenhaus US$ 4 million and was officially presented to the public in August 2006 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elégance.
Several websites were allowed to publish images of the clay model in July 2006. The P4/5 has the same engine as the Enzo Ferrari it was built on, a 65° "F140" Ferrari/Maserati engine V12. The 12 cylinders have a total capacity of 5,998 cc (366 cu in), each with 4 valves. The redline rpm at 8,200 and the torque of 485 lb-ft (658 Nm) at 5,500 rpm are both the same as the Enzo, but it produces marginally more power with 660 brake horsepower (492 kW) at 7,800 rpm.
The P4/5 uses the 6 speed semi-automatic transmission of the Enzo with black shifting paddles behind the wheel. It has two directional indicator buttons, one mounted on each side of the steering wheel. The Ferrari P4/5 can accelerate from 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.0 seconds (0.14 seconds quicker than the Enzo). It has a top speed of 375 kph (233 mph). The car has a frontal area of 1,906 square metres (20.52 sq ft), but the sharp nose and smooth curves mean it has a drag coefficient of only 0.34.
