The Shelby Mustang and the 440 Roadrunner are two of the fast cars which were built to satisfy the desire for high performance and speed. There were many more fast cars to come. Camaros, Chargers, GTOs, and Firebirds all tried to pack as much punch under the hood as was possible.
Corvettes offered speed and sleek style, but they also had a high price tag. Most of the other high performance cars offered a price that was affordable to the average working class people.

The Aston Martin
The Aston Martin DBS was first introduced in 1967 as a GT (Grand Tourer) then upgraded in 1969 to include the powerful 5.3 litre engine.
The company was sold by David Brown in 1972 and went through a period of neglect with frequent change of ownership. In 1987 it was bought by Ford who invested heavily and rebuilt the design and research facilities and upgraded t he production plant in Oxfordshire. The pay off was the development of the DB7 which was shown at the 1993 Geneva motor show to great acclaim. In 1995 the company was in full production and by 2000 the company had regained the position amongst the world’s most prestigious cars.
The V12 Vanquish was unveiled in 2001 and the DB9 5.9 litre was launched in 2004.
In 2007 Aston Martin was purchased for £479 million (US$848 million) by two Kuwaiti investment companies in a deal led by David Richards of Prodrive. Ford retained a US$77 million stake in Aston Martin, setting the total value of the company at US$925 million.

A Brief History of Ferrari
A Brief History of Ferrari
The first Ferrari hit the roads more than 50 years ago in 1947. The first Ferrari 125 sport was not what you see today, but for the time it was a real looker. It featured a 1.5 liter V12 engine which made this car one of the fastest in the world. In addition, like all Ferrari’s this car had a great body to go along with the speed. Without this first Ferrari hitting the road in 1947, it is safe to say that they would not be where they are today in terms of the automotive industry.
