The Corvette-SS, first introduced in 1957, was remarkably advanced for its time. The car was magnesium bodied, lightweight and developed over 300 hp. Alas, it never had the chance to fulfil its race potential, but ultimately it, and the technologies it embraced, did spawn a number of other racers and sports cars including, of course, the Corvette we know and love today.

One bank of a Ferrari V12 from the 1969, 312 F1 car, driven that year by Rodriguez. Just look at the way the engineers had to form the manifolds in order to get the exhaust gasses out the back cleanly and in the most efficient way. Amazing. Looks like a 12-legged octopus is wedged in the V of the two engine banks.
