The Future Classics collection focuses on cars that have developed a lasting following among enthusiasts and still offer something distinctive to experience today. The selection covers Japanese sports cars, German performance models, American V8s, luxury performance cars, and several less obvious choices, from the Mazda RX-7 FD and Toyota Supra A80 to the BMW M3 E46, Honda S2000, Acura NSX, Porsche 911 996, and Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. The cars here stand out for more than their reputation or potential collectibility. Their appeal comes from distinctive powertrains, manual gearboxes, rear-wheel-drive platforms, advanced AWD systems, naturally aspirated engines, turbocharging, mechanical differentials, lightweight construction, and period-specific chassis technology. Many also represent an era of performance engineering that has become less common, giving them a character that is increasingly difficult to find in newer cars.
