Future Classics At the Cincinnati Concours

 

As in the past, the 47th Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance presented a class of modern super cars made after 2010 in the Future Classics Class. In honor of Chrysler's 100th anniversary (see the related post on the blog), there were four Dodge Vipers presented. These cars were made from 1991 to 2010 and from 2013 to 2017 all using a V10 engine.

 

Also as part of the Chrysler celebration the concours committee included a 2016 Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat. This is the most powerful production muscle car with a 6.2 L supercharged V8 that generates 707 horse power. 

 In addition to the Chrysler products there was a 2019 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. The first Lambo with a chassis made entirely out of carbon fiber, the Aventador had a mid mounted 6.5 L V12 engine good for a mere 770 horse power. Oh, and a sticker price of $606,265.

 The most powerful naturally aspirated Ferrari V8 ever made is this 2014 458 Speciale. Its 4.5 L engine generates 597 horse power. These cars were the performance version of the 458 Italia model.

Fewer than 2000 of the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T were made to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the famed 911 sports car. It has a 4.0 L flat/boxer six cylinder engine that churns out 518 horse power.

Also for Chrysler's anniversary is this 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack. This was the last year for the HEMI V8 engine. In this case it is a 6.4 L version that gnaws out 485 horse power which can jettison this car to a top speed of 182 MPH.

2019 was the only year Chevrolet brought back the ZR1 version of its Corvette. Its front mounted engine is a 6.2 L 755 horse power V8.
