The muscle car era began in 1964 with the introduction of the Pontiac LeMans GTO, which blended a mid-size frame with a powerful full-size engine. Around the same time, Chrysler was developing an even more impressive engine—the 426 Hemi.

When production of the Enzo ended, Maserati utilized its underlying technology to create the MC12. The Enzo…
