7 Of The Most Uncompromising Supercars In History

29 September 2015 Redazione Supercars Lounge

Like a woman, the more a car is naked and the more sensations are strong. Our parents know this very well, being lucky enough to see the birth and drive some really remarkable “tools”, cars for real men able to put you to the test even by getting on board and turning on the engine. You had no automatic gearboxes and clutches were incredibly heavy, engaging gears when they wanted to and with pedal always offset: in short, you were terribly uncomfortable and constantly in danger. It had to be real pioneers for jumping on track or even worse, for spanking a couple of corners on a normal road, since the only help was that of the divine providence: every mistake was paid expensive and there was no second chance.

Today, everything is different. Performance of these wild and crazy supercars are (sort of) comparable to those of a sport sedan or to some hot-hatch tuned to perfection. Maybe the exclusivity of performance is lost, but the emotions that these sprightly ladies can give, are completely unattainable, especially at the level of involvement at the wheel. You had to row with the steering wheel, bet your back in every corner of the seat and the smell of petrol, oil and burnt rubber certainly did not help. A distant memory compared to the hooligan-like maneuvers you can do on a modern car, maybe listening to your own playlist on a comfortable leather seat with perfect seams, affording the luxury of forgetting helmet and gloves in the garage, home.

Certain emotions are priceless and these 7 wonders represent the most brutal, raw and uncompromising gang that our “ancestors” have bequeathed.
If you are a real men, remove the poster of the 458 Italia on your wall and make room for these babes.
