An era describes context; it is not a claim that every surviving example was built in the same year. Individual profiles explain presentation dates, reference seasons and production periods where those distinctions matter.
THE COLLECTION
1,855 profiles
Lamborghini 1996
The Lamborghini-based Raptor by Zagato gives the archive a curving, open concept unlike the production Diablo. Its physical body is documented through a custodial programme record and a real Pebble Beach photograph.
Lotus 1996
The Lotus Esprit V8 introduces a different engine programme to the long-running road coupe. This profile follows the wider V8 family while identifying Type 918 as an engine designation, rather than treating…
Mercedes-Benz 1996
The Mercedes-Benz F 200 Imagination asked whether the conventional steering wheel and pedal-based driving interface were the only way to control a car. Its 1996 Paris appearance placed electronic control and a…
Mitsubishi 1996
The FTO GP Version R is a named factory performance specification within Mitsubishi’s compact coupe family. Its history is more nuanced than a single familiar photograph or a generic description of a…
Mitsubishi 1996
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV RS is documented here as a Japanese factory grade, with its own equipment reference and a carefully scoped rarity record. The small RS record count is the reason…
Nissan 1996
The NISMO 400R took the R33 Skyline GT-R into a more extensively developed complete-car programme, with a 2.8-litre engine and a 400 PS target. NISMO's history separates its 1995 prototype presentation from…
Peugeot 1996
The 306 Maxi returned Peugeot to the front line of rallying through a very different route from the Group B Turbo 16. Its defining works period brought Gilles Panizzi French championship titles…
Peugeot 1996
The Asphalte compressed Peugeot's sports-car imagination into a tiny open body with an unusually narrow rear track. Presented in Paris in 1996, it is often described casually as a three-wheeler, but Peugeot's…
Peugeot 1996
Peugeot's Touareg was a compact electric buggy study presented in 1996, long before the name became familiar on a Volkswagen SUV. The factory concept explored leisure travel through a small open vehicle…
Renault 1996
The Renault Maxi Mégane brought the first Mégane coupé into specialised rally competition. Its familiar roofline can conceal how far the racing preparation departed from the road model. This profile records the…
Renault 1996
The Renault Sport Spider reduced the road sports car to a light structure, a mid-mounted engine and a very exposed cockpit. Windscreenless and windscreen-equipped versions belong to one road programme here, with…
Renault 1996
The Renault Sport Spider Trophy was the racing counterpart to the minimalist road Spider. Its roll cage and higher-output engine identify a dedicated one-make competition machine. Production references require care, because two…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
