Future Classics at Keeneland

Just about every Concours event has a class for Future Classic where they present recent and current cars that they believe will one day become the great collectible show cars of tomorrow. The Keeneland Concours d'Elegance is no different with cars like this 2010 Porsche GT 3. With a 3.7 second zero to 60 time and a top speed of 197 miles per hour this is surely a super car.
You can't have a group with super cars and not have a Ferrari. This 2002 360 Spider is the definition of a super car. Powered by a 3.7 liter V8 with a top speed of 190 miles per hour it has a zero to 60 time of just a hair over four seconds. New it cost a mere $182,000.
This is a 2000 Dodge Viper RT 10 Roadster and has already made its mark as a modern classic. Owner Mo Kenny said that he was going through a mid-life crisis and couldn't afford a divorce but he could afford the $98,000 price tag on this 10 cylinder rocket.
Usually you can't improve on a classic but sometimes you can. That's the case with this 2008 Shelby GT500KR. A joint effort between Ford and Shelby, the KR stands for King of the Road. With its 5.4 liter supercharged V8 churning out 540 horse power, this Mustang on steroids can fly down the road at over 185 miles per hour.
The latest automotive wonder to come out of Maranello is this 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider. Sporting a 4.5 liter V8 that generates 550 horse power and a top speed of 200 miles per hour, this is the daily driver for owner Andy Manganaro. Oh, he bought it to replace his Ferrari Scuderia.
Cars and movies have been linked for years but not many cars are associated with one movie the way this 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Coupe Transformer Edition is. The "Bumble Bee" car has a 6.2 liter V8 that puts out 400 horse power and a top speed of 135 miles per hour. But can it turn into an Autobot?
