In the late 1940s, as the world recovers from war, automakers harness military tech to chase speed, sparking a bold new era in high-performance car innovation.

In the 1980s, rising wealth and bold design fuel a supercar boom. Radical looks meet extreme performance, launching these machines into a new era of automotive excess.

Since 1886, when Karl Benz created the first combustion engine vehicle, engineers worldwide have pushed speed and design limits, leading to the birth of the revolutionary Hypercar.
