These are existing vehicle profiles grouped by their recorded classification. Read each profile for its own source notes, image context and production scope. A shared collection does not establish that different editions or chassis are the same identity.
THE COLLECTION
94 profiles
Mercedes-Benz 1978
The Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC 5.0 combined the long-roof proportions of the C 107 coupé with a lightweight-block V8 and a place in the marque’s rallying story. Its model name matters: this is…
Lotus 1979
The Lotus Esprit S2 World Championship Commemorative model translates the black-and-gold racing association into a named road-car programme. Its genuine factory identity is established separately from inconsistent published production totals.
Lotus 1981
The Lotus Turbo Esprit Type 82 brings turbocharged power to the Giugiaro-bodied road coupe. This profile follows the original turbo body programme and preserves the inventory’s 1981 reference without promoting the separate…
Maserati 1988
The Maserati Karif places a twin-turbo V6 into a compact fixed-roof coupe based on the short Biturbo Spyder platform. Its complete-programme count belongs across the available specifications.
Lotus 1989
The Lotus Elan SE M100 revives the Elan name in a fundamentally different front-wheel-drive roadster. This profile follows the original turbocharged SE programme, keeping its manufacturer reference distinct from non-turbo cars and…
Lotus 1989
The Lotus Esprit Turbo SE develops the Stevens-bodied road coupe with chargecooled turbo performance. Its named 1989 introduction and separate SE production reference prevent the broad X180 family from becoming a duplicate…
Maserati 1989
The Maserati Shamal transforms the short Biturbo-derived coupe into a muscular twin-turbo V8 programme. Its original introduction context remains separate from the manufacturer’s production-period table.
Mercedes-Benz 1989
The 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution, commonly called Evolution I, made the relationship between a compact road saloon and touring-car development explicit. It is an individual 502-car batch, not a nickname…
Maserati 1990
Maserati Racing is a specific Biturbo-derived road model. Its name should not be mistaken for a generic label covering every Maserati competition car.
Mercedes-Benz 1990
The 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II is the most visually emphatic road-going expression of the W 201 touring-car story. Its tall rear wing is memorable, but the whole aerodynamic and…
Autozam 1992
The 1992 Autozam AZ-1 compresses a mid-engined sports-car layout and gullwing doors into a Japanese kei-car body. Its small scale and unusual entry arrangement give it a collector identity beyond an ordinary…
Lotus 1994
The Lotus Elan S2 M100 revives the front-wheel-drive roadster for a separate numbered production programme. Its 1994–1995 identity is kept distinct from the original SE and from the later Kia-manufactured derivative.
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.
