A modern classic.

One of my favourite cars of all time is the Ferrari 458 Italia. It is the last naturally aspirated V8 sporting a 4.5L engine with 562hp and 398lb-ft torque.

The engine screams to an orchestral 9000 RPM and can do 0 to 60 MPH in about 3.2 seconds flat. Not to mention, it also has a top speed of 202 MPH.

It might look some what dated compared to the modern turbo V8's such as the F8 Tributo, 488 Pista, or even the the SF90 Stradale, and performance wise, it loses out to it's more modern rivals, but the cornerstone of a classic car in the making is it's ability to age well, and the 458 Italia ages better than fine wine in this regard.

Pick a good, well looked after example and cherish it for years, it'll be worth multiples a few decades from now for sure.
