Classic Car Competition

“Good morning Mr. Walrus and isn’t it a lovely morning?”

“Well I, for one, am not complaining.”

“Perish the thought.”

“My mind does tend to blank out more lately. Where were we?”

“Looking at last week’s winning car and this week’s matchup.”

“Fire away!”

This week’s Match Up

Cizerta-Moroder V16T

Built from 1991 to 1995, this Italian-made V16 supercar was originally designed as the Lamborghini Diablo. But when Chrysler purchased a stake in Lamborghini and the Diablo’s designers modified the plan, mastermind Marcelo Gandini took his original blueprints to automotive engineer Claudio Zampolli, who built it as a Cizeta. Cizeta built only a handful during the car’s initial production run, but they occasionally resurface on the market.

VS

Porsche 356

Porsche’s first production car, the rear-engine, rear-wheel drive Porsche 356, survived four high-flying generations before it was laid to rest in the mid-1960s. Considered the most highly developed of the four-cylinder Porsches, the 356 is also regarded by vintage car experts as the most fun to drive. Procuring one isn’t difficult: about half of the 76,000 cars originally produced survive.
