Car and Driver made a list of the best cars it’s come across in its 65 years of existence; we poke around in it

1965 Ford Mustang

You just knew this list was going to include the Mustang, the best-known Ford sports car around the globe. Not only was the pony car affordable, but the possibility of having a V8 place under the hood really made the model take off, particularly in its battle with a certain Chevrolet Camaro that made its debut just one year later. And what about the shape of this car? To call it timeless is an understatement…

Here for its sheer beauty… and its V12 engine!

Car and Driver waxed lyrical, saying that "the Miura is a Botticelli brushstroke brought to life on top of clever engineering. Its eyelashed headlights, graceful waistline, and voluptuous fenders have, for decades, seduced writers into describing its beauty in human terms. Here's what we can say without hyperbole: The Miura radiates power and speed and drama even when it's parked."
