Lyonheart K
Designed in Switzerland and built in Britain, the new Lyonheart K is like the perfect modern melange of old and new. If they get this one right, it will be perfect for people looking to buy a modern classic that doesn’t brake down.
However, there’s some really bad news we have to bring to your attention if the E-Type Jag fan in you is acting up. It’s going to cost €495,000, which is $655,000 at today’s exchange rate. And that only pays for the car, not the options or taxes.

The good news is that with a 5.0-liter V8 engine, providing 550 hp and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque, it won’t be boring in the least bit. The engine comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, so it’s more of a poser.

But, the designers have envisioned a light car that only weighs 1575 kg (3,472 lb), which translates into a sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
