What do you do when you've got a spare few million in the bank and every race car on the planet just isn't good enough for you? You ask Ferrari to build you this, the one-off Ferrari KC23.Based on a Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo race car, the KC23 is the last word in the Maranello-based company's ability to build a race-ready track toy. As a result, this driving machine is not road legal, and it also bends some of the rules when it comes to the circuit.

The vehicle's 5.2-liter tw...

Known for its advanced design and innovative use of lightweight materials, Zagato has worked closely with names like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and eventually Porsche in 1957.As for the GTZ, it rep...
