When it comes to supercars, Ferrari and Lamborghini are usually the center of the discussion, with a few other well-known players like Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Pagani thrown in there as well. But they are certainly not the creators of all that’s out there. In fact, more often than not, when some visionary with a wad of cash starts a company, it’s to create some batshit crazy supercar. Like the one featured in the photo: What happens when a bunch of Germans combine a Corvette V8, a Porsche 911 GT2 transmission, and an exotic body? The SIN R1. SIN is well-known for making successful racing cars, but this is the first foray into road cars. Only time will tell if this thing takes off. Do you think it’s worth mass production?

It’s 50 years since legendary John F. Kennedy died, and events surrounding his death are inextricably tied to cars. The most famous car associated with him is also the most recognisable. Codenamed X-100 by the US secret service, the limousine was put to work in June 1961 after extensive modifications by the Ohio-based armored coachbuilder Hess & Eisenhardt. Following the president’s assassination in Dallas, the limousine was impounded and examined for evidence before being sent for another significant upfitting in Ohio. It was last used in a presidential procession in 1977, during the Carter Administration, and now is on view at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
