Lamborghini Murcielago

The Murcielago might've been the first Lamborghini built under Audi ownership, but it was a brute. Packing a nasty-sounding V-12 and some outrageously over-the-top looks, it was still very much a Lamborghini. Here's one with a manual transmission you can own today.

Pagani Huayra

The Huayra is Pagani's second production car, following the legendary Zonda. It has a twin-turbo AMG V-12, and more intricate hand-built details than you can count. This roadster is up for grabs on eBay right now.

Bugatti EB110

I know what you're thinking: Why the hell is there a Bugatti on this list? It's a French company, after all. Well, the EB110 was conceived under Romano Artioli's ownership. He, along with the car's designer, Marcello Gandini, were Italian. Where was the car built? In Modena, by Italian engineers. Though Bugattis may now be created in France, this one certainly wasn't.

Ferrari F12 TdF

Ferrari's front-engine cars are usually angled towards grand touring, but not the F12 TdF. It's a hardcore track-ready variant of the F12berlinetta, ready to tackle anything you throw at it with that 770-horsepower naturally aspirated V-12.

Lamborghini Centenario

People use the term "spaceship" too often when it comes to describing low-slung supercars, but in the case of the Centenario, we think it actually applies. It looks unlike anything else on the road, and delivers an equally bespoke driving experience.

Pininfarina Battista

The Battista was unveiled at last year's Geneva Motor Show, and judging by the specs, it's one serious piece of kit. Its all-electric powertrain makes an astounding 1900 horsepower, enabling a sub-two-second 0-60 time, and a top speed of 217 mph.

Lamborghini Diablo

Following up the legendary Countach was no easy task, but Lamborghini was able to pull it off with the Diablo. Whether you like the early cars with pop-up headlights or the later fix-headlight versions, there's a Diablo for everyone out there. This SV version has low miles, and it's for sale.

Ferrari Testarossa

Wedge-shaped looks, side louvers, and pop-up headlights are just some of the features on perhaps the most '80s Ferrari ever made, the Testarossa. It also has a flat-12 engine. No, not a V-12. A flat-12. This one's painted in a lovely shade of white, and it can be yours.

Ferrari LaFerrari

The LaFerrari might be a hybrid, but it's a little bit more interesting than a Prius. It sends over 1000 horsepower to the rear wheels from a V-12-battery hybrid setup, and looks unlike anything else on the road. This one's painted grey, and it's on eBay right now for $3.5 million.

Pagani Zonda

The new Huayra may be great and all, but the Zonda still holds a special place in our hearts. Its carbon fiber body, spectacularly designed interior, and fantastic-sounding AMG V-12 put it among the best Italian cars ever produced.

Miura

Lamborghini

Lamborghini Miura

Many call the Miura the first true supercar, and it's easy to see why. It has a transversely-mounted V-12 mounted behind the cabin, and looks stunning.

<p>This is the third Ferrari 288GTO sold at Pebble Beach, a bewilderment all to itself. Enzo Ferrari authorized just 200 cars and then added 72 more to serve customers begging to drive his homologated special. Ferrari hand-picked each one, a selection process the company has maintained for all of its top models well after Il Commendatore's death in 1988. By then, the 288GTO had been out of production for two years and was already well past its $85,000 list. Some things, like the mid-mounted twin-turbo V-8 and the first composite materials on a Ferrari road car, never change.<span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space"></span></p><p><span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space">Due to California's draconian emissions laws, the 288GTO can't be driven within the state (only 1975 and earlier models skirt the rules). But any other of the 49 states would be happy to register this 288GTO, and not only because this one sold for $2.42 million. Gooding claims this car was serviced exclusively at an independent New York shop since it was new and that even the factory inspection marks are visible. Given the 7938 miles on this 288's odometer and its relatively low value among classic Ferraris, we hope this car has many thorough workouts in its future. —<i data-redactor-tag="i">Clifford Atiyeh</i><span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space"></span><br></span></p><p><span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space"><em data-redactor-tag="em"><a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/all-the-money-the-top-25-most-expensive-cars-sold-at-the-2016-monterey-auctions" target="_blank">This article originally appeared on Car and Driver.</a></em><span class="redactor-invisible-space" data-verified="redactor" data-redactor-tag="span" data-redactor-class="redactor-invisible-space"></span><br></span></span></p>

Ferrari 288 GTO

The 288 GTO was originally built to compete in Group B rally back in the 1980s, but after the series was canceled, Ferrari went on building the car as a production model. We drove one back in 2014, and it certainly lives up to the hype.

Lamborghini Veneno

The Veneno and Veneno Roadster were ultra-low production supercars built by Lamborghini a few years back, sporting some extreme aero design and a 750-horsepower version of the Aventador's V-12 engine. This one recently popped up for sale at auction with a $6 million estimate.

DeTomaso Pantera

While the Pantera certainly looks the part of an Italian supercar, the powertrain tells a different story. Rather than some sort of exotic engine, a Ford-sourced 266-horsepower V-8 sits behind the driver. Here's a super-clean GT5-S up for grabs right now.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante

The Huracan Performante currently holds the third-fastest production car lap around the Nurburgring, which should give you an idea of what kind of performance this car puts out. With trick aerodynamics and a 631-horsepower V-10, the Performante is one serious track machine. Here's one with just over 1000 miles on the clock you can own today.

Ferrari F50

Ferrari F50

A removable top, gated manual transmission, and fantastic V-12 cemented the Ferrari F50 into collector status as soon as it hit the road, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferraris out there.

<p>A Lamborghini, affordable and undervalued? Follow me here.</p><p class="p1">The Countach is supercar icon. When it arrived in the early 1970 its angular bodywork looked completely alien. Every supercar made since then can trace its design back to the lines of this V12 Lambo. The car was immortalized on posters and hung on every kid's bedroom wall in the 1980s. Yet as long-lived as the Countach was (in production for 16 years) there was a time in the late 90s and early 2000s when they were considered a little cheesy. A Countach with a big wing on the back would cost less than $100,000. Talk about a bargain—that's crazy-cheap for a rare Italian supercar.</p><p>Today the Countach, in all its angular 80s glory, has been rediscovered. Cars from the 1980s sell for more than $300,000. The earliest ones, the LP400 (of which less than 200 were made) sell for more than $1 million. You could have had one in the mid-2000s for about $150,000. Talk about nostalgia-driven inflation.</p>

Lamborghini Countach

Like the Miura, a lot of people consider the Countach to be one of the first real supercars to hit the road. Its outlandish looks and scissor doors give it all the flare necessary to make a stylish entrance, and that V-12 will have you smiling long after you park it up. This 5000QV is painted in a great shade of red, and it's for sale.

1988 Ferrari F40

Ferrari F40

People who've driven the F40 often say it's the best Ferrari out there. With a 478-horsepower twin-turbo V-8, a fantastic chassis, awesome '80s looks, and pop-up headlights, we can see why. Here's one with an insane 193 miles on the clock up for grabs on eBay right now.

Maserati MC12

The Maserati MC12 has a lot of Ferrari Enzo underneath, but its weird looks and extremely low production numbers make it cooler than the Enzo in a lot of ways.

Ferrari Enzo

Of course, the Enzo, named after the company's founder, is still worthy of being on this list. It is a mid-engine V-12 Ferrari, after all. It was also the first of Ferrari's top-level flagships to use a paddle-shift F1-style automatic transmission rather than a gated manual.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Introduced in 2011, the Sesto Elemento was essentially a Lamborghini Gallardo taken to the absolute extreme. Extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the body meant it was extremely lightweight, and a 570-horsepower V-10 out back allowed for a 0-60 time of just 2.5 seconds. Insane.
