Born on July 10, 1928, Alejandro de Tomaso comes from a wealthy family. A farmer, then a politician, he took part in his first international race in 1955 before settling in Modena. There he met his future wife, Elizabeth Haskell, and became a full-time pilot at her side. Without convincing results and dissatisfied with his cars, he decided to found Automobili De Tomaso. His cars rarely finished the races, forcing him to turn to road cars. The Vallelunga, Mangusta and Pantera will be the spearheads of the brand. Alejandro died in 2003, but his brand lives on today.

When it comes to unusual vehicles, Jay Leno is never far away. An undisputed fan of vehicles of all kinds, he sometimes rides in a real monster. His “Tank Car”, or Blastolene Special as his real name is, does not go unnoticed. With a length of 6.40m, 4.3 tons and a 29,365cc V12 Continental engine straight out of a Tank, this strange machine could have easily integrated into the Terminator saga! Note the astronomical fuel cost, the 810-horsepower V12 swallowing... 230l per 100km!

When some choose discretion, others opt for flashy eyes. Even if it means spending a few million, you might as well get noticed, right? There is no need to specify which category the ten owners of the Apollo Intensa Emozione are in! On the menu, extreme aerodynamics for 1350kg of downforce, custom paint (and for all tastes), and the sound of the legendary original Ferrari V12! Add to that the feeling of driving a spaceship and its origins, which are descended from a certain... Gumpert Apollo, and you have the supercar par excellence.
